      My website is spiritual world. My DA and PA are not that good but still get some traffic. Its increasing slowly. I dont go for spamy website backlinks. Try to keep my contents updated. Good will rank it higher if its good. So DA doesnt matter much.
      Just focus on quality of content.

        Google relies heavily on the link patterns from a website’s referring domains to judge the website and then rank it in order of relevance. Remember that Google is investigating the quality of links at a much deeper level than before. Therefore, domains with obviously spammy links will get knocked down in the DA ratings.
        Moz has stated that the new algorithm can better detect spammy links and therefore devalue them.

        This will ideally lead to a large drop in Domain Authority for link sellers’ spammy domains.

                      @dailynewshelp , yes. may be because of google update, your rankings go down. so try to improve the content based on the first page rankers. find out the opportunities from competitors those who are ranking in first page for your targeted keywords. make sure that content is fresh. Try to backlinks from High DA and less spam score websites. Give good page experience to the user.

                          @Matt-M is absolutely correct about links not being the only factor but good quality links will move your DA in most tools. However, as most people have said it is not the best metric to be looking at.

                          I recently have done a super relevant link building campaign on a client site that had a DA of 3 for the past 3 years with literally no movement, they had around 100 referring domains mostly from foundation links and low authority sites. In the last 30 days I created only another 70 referring domains but all were super relevant with various levels of authority. in those 30 days the DA from my tool has increased to 16.

                          Although this is meaningless as it does not neccessarily convert to rankings or visitors by itself, rather the link building campaign has helped rankings. I guess if you were looking to sell a domain/site you might care about this number i cannot see any other benefit to it.

                            The number of backlinks is not the only factor for determining domain authority, The quality of backlinks is much more important than the quantity of them. For example if you make thousands of backlinks from low quality websites and weblogs, it doesn't have much effect on your ranking. Search engines can detect overlinking from special domains, low quality links and etc. The best suggestion would be trying to do everything naturally. And SEO needs you to be patient. You can't expect immediate or within weeks results in many cases especially for new domains.

                              I was facing the same thing few months back with Apk Mortgage, but then suddenly my DA got increased a bit after few time. So, it might be a better practice to create High Quality Backlinks instead of waiting for getting the DA increased!

                                  The DA score doesn't really mean anything. You shouldn't be focusing your time or energy on it. It's a fake number that SEO tools come up with as a best guess. Nothing wrong with using it as a guide but it doesn't really matter if it goes up or down. It does not correlate to any actual number that Google may have for your website. It's the tools best guess as to how Google might view your site. Focus on individual keywords, how they are ranking and what kind of traffic you are getting. Those are things you actually have control of and can see real data on.

                                        Domain authority is the biggest scam in SEO. But unfortunately, I love to watch it increase.

                                                Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?

                                                api domain authority

                                                I wanted to test the API and while looking on the documentation urls, I cannot find details on how to get Domain Authority. is that not available to query ? was it replaced by Brand Authority ? is it only available for the paid API or for the free one too ? I looked at many documentation pages but I find it very confusing and frustrating, there are many versions of the documentation and various URLs and not clearly labeled, I understand some are V1, V2, V3, etc, but I didn't find sample API calls for Domain Authority. Thank you.

                                                "I have been maintaining 5 directories of backlinks in the 'Link Tracking List' section for several months. However, I am unable to locate any of these links at this time. Additionally, the link from my MOZ profile is currently broken and redirects to an error page, no to Elche Se Mueve. Given the premium pricing of MOZ's services, these persistent errors are unacceptable."

                                                I am working on improving this site now, but while searching, I found a site that allows me to create a blog and the site ranks high 77. If I create a blog for us and direct it to this site, will I get a high domain authority through this site? I don't know if the domains are spam or something like that.

                                                Unsolved Huge Increase In Internal Links + Domain Authority Tanked

                                                internal linking domain authority

                                                Hey, I am very concerned about the link metrics I am seeing, really hoping someone can help. In October last year there were a total of 34.7K 'total links' attributed to my E-commerce website . This compared to 41.2k and 213k links attributed to my two main competitors. In November, my website had a forced update due to incompatibility issues my shopping cart version was having with the server on which it is hosted. (I was told by my web developers / hosting company that their server was upgraded.) This update created many problems such as checkout issues, page layout issues, sitemaps not automatically regenerating and the big one - it reverted back to http instead of https. Along with my developers, I spent 2 weeks fixing all of the issues until everything worked correctly and https was reinstated. After initial warnings from Moz, I have not received any critical crawler issues or warnings, big ranking drops etc since November. I was satisfied that all was ok. However, in November my 'total links' jumped to 81.5k and have since continued to balloon. December - 309.1k, January -335k, February - 665k, March - 716k, April - 719k, May - 742k, June - 751k. In the same period (November - June), my external links went from 5.3k - 8.7k. So it appears the huge increase in links are internal. In my latest report it states that 'internal follow links' are up by 8k and 'internal no follow links' are up by 1k. This is insane. I cannot understand why I have so many internal links and why they keep increasing. I maintain the website with updates, blog articles etc but no more than I have in the past several years. Worryingly, once this increase in links started being reported, my Domain Authority has also tanked. In October my DA was 37 (higher than my competitors) and has since dropped as low as 19. It has gone up to 21 this month (still significantly lower than my competitors). I have spent hours researching why this huge increase in internal links could be happening but have got nowhere. If anyone could advise what the issue could be and how I can fix it, I would be eternally grateful. Issues I have discovered along the way that may help with analysis:
                                                My site has many 404s (hundreds) - all relate to urls of old images that have been removed from the website. The 'Top Hits' on my website are from blogs (some spammy) to these deleted image urls that return a 404. I don't use any plugins. I do get 'duplicate content' notices as my blog posts archive themselves and generate new urls - as an example - 'blog post name' archived December 2023. It may be the case that the old http urls have been redirected to https but I have no warnings for 'redirect issues' in Moz. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.

                                                domain authority link building website optimization

                                                Hi Moz Community, I've noticed my website's DA https://clean4u.org fell from 12 to 11 after adding a few links. I thought these were quality links, so I'm puzzled about the drop. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this could happen? Any advice or insight would be great! Thanks!
