I agree with Gaston, that setting your goal on a DA target is not the best approach.
I set my goals by deciding what content should be on my website to make it an outstanding resource to my potential clients (for a site that sells products or services) or my potential audience (for an informational site). What content would you need for your site to serve the needs of the visitors you desire to attract?
You can make a very ambitious content list that might take years to produce, or you can take it in stages - by topic. All of my sites were started over ten years ago. One achieved its content goal in two years. The others have a content goal for which the goal posts have been moved outwards every few years. I don't think about DA. I think about the next article to write.

Hi there,
On one hand, I'd advise against only looking to increase Moz's metrics. Keep in mind that they are a private measurement and they are trying to guess what Google's Search Algorithm might consider important to rank a website higher, looking (mostly) at backlinks profiles. You can find more information about Moz's metics here: Link Explorer resources - Moz Help Hub.
On the other hand, for higher rankings there are many things to consider, some of them:
- Creating high quality and engaging content.
- Making sure GoogleBot can crawl and understand your pages' content.
- Focus on answering the user's questions and intents, not just creating content for the bots or for the sake of creating content.
- Engage with users and other publishers to get your content shown, eventually, some links will point back to you.
- A tip: Analize your competitors' rankings and what they are doing to rank higher.
- Another tip: Focus on understanding how and with which terms your potential users/clients are googling. Then create content for those queries, don't forget the 1st point.
Also, there are many more recommendations and more detailed in these resources:

How does it take after getting links discovered by google to see increase in rankings?
Five of my friends linked to my site from their website and updated their sites through Google Webmaster tools right after linking to my site. Though the Google spider crawled the site as soon as they updated their pages, it still took about three weeks for my site to get a bump in the serps from their links. Why does it take that long for links to kick in and what is the average time it normally takes to see an increase in ranking from links once Google discovers them? Thanks mozzers! Ron

Competitive Domain Analysis Observation
Hi Folks I have been doing some analysis via SEOMOZ tools of www.anglianhome.co.uk which shows that in their linking root domains they have links from apple.com wordpress.com bravenet.com Are these genuine links or have Anglian managed to spam/black hat the process some how because I cant find any reference to their home improvement firm website on any of these major global websites? But it is obviously working because for searches here in the UK it appears prominently on many competitive search phrases.

Blogspot blog on sub domain
Hi, I have a blog on the blogger platform from Google and it currently sits on a sub domain which can be added into the settings. But I got a feeling Google wont see this as part of the website because when I add the sub domain into the main websites sitemap it kicks an error for it. So basically what I got is a website and an external blog. The external blog gets a post a day with an anchor text link back to the most relevant page on the main website but I have read on the SEOMOZ website that smashing one external blog is not anywhere near as effective as syndicating the content across a range of blogs. So I have an external blog with pr4 and 100 backlinks, I have to say I did not set this up it was handed over like this and I cant move the blog onsite either. I'm thinking it would have been better to have 10 blogs with pr2 with 10 backlinks on each instead. I need to double check this before I action this from now on.
