I'm a beginner. I want to know what this is 'DA'

What's a DA?

DA stands for Domain Authority. Moz uses the DA algorithm to make a single score for the whole site. The Algorithm takes into account the links pointing to your site, total number of referring domains, total number of backlinks etc. It's co related to how powerful your site is and how would you rank/get traffic from Google.

Hi there!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)
There's also a video!
Here's a preview: Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines.
Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time.
We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, etc.—into a single score.
I hope this helps - just let me know if you have any other questions!

Seeing all of our site's rankings
Hi everyone, I've started tracking some speciifc keywords here, but I'd also like to get a global overview of all the different keywords we're currently ranking for and in what positions. When I used Ahrefs it offered this sort of report. Does Moz offer such a report?

Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?
