the domain authority could be low because you do not have many quality back links,
you want really high quality white hat do follow no follow back links leading to as many different pages on your website as possible. Remember only use white hat methods. also your company website, needs to be well designed, offering good u.x

Domain Authority (DA) is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). Several factors can contribute to a low Domain Authority:
Low-quality Backlinks: Backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites are a major factor in determining DA. If your site has few backlinks, or if those backlinks are from low-quality or irrelevant websites, it can negatively impact your DA.
Poor On-Page Optimization: On-page factors such as meta tags, heading tags, keyword usage, and content quality all influence search engine rankings and, consequently, DA. If your website lacks optimized content, it may struggle to rank well.
Thin or Duplicate Content: Search engines favor websites with unique, high-quality content. If your site has thin content (i.e., lacks substance or depth) or if it contains duplicate content that appears elsewhere on the web, it can hurt your DA.
Slow Page Speed: Page speed is an important ranking factor for search engines and can impact user experience. If your website loads slowly, users are more likely to bounce, which can signal to search engines that your site is less valuable.
Lack of Mobile Optimization: With the increasing use of mobile devices, search engines prioritize mobile-friendly websites in their rankings. If your site is not optimized for mobile devices, it can negatively impact your DA.
Technical Issues: Technical issues such as broken links, 404 errors, or improper redirects can harm your site's usability and, consequently, its ranking potential.
Poor User Experience: Factors such as intrusive ads, difficult navigation, or a cluttered design can lead to a poor user experience. Search engines aim to provide users with the best possible results, so they may penalize sites that offer a subpar user experience.
Improving your Domain Authority requires a comprehensive approach that addresses these factors. Focus on creating high-quality, relevant content, earning authoritative backlinks, optimizing your website for search engines and users, and fixing any technical issues that may be affecting your site's performance. Additionally, be patient, as improving DA often takes time and consistent effort.
-
A domain may have low authority due to factors such as limited quality backlinks, insufficient relevance and quality of content, or slow website loading speed. Improving these areas through strategic link-building efforts, content optimization, and technical improvements can gradually increase your domain's authority over time.
-
The domain authority could be low on your website because it is brand-new, so you need to improve the organic SEO.
It could also be because you haven't got enough good-quality backlinks. Our summerhouse business did drop off slightly off the first page because some backlinks were deleted.

The domain authority could be low on your website because it is a brand-new company website?
So you need to improve the organic SEO.
It could also be because you haven't got enough good-quality backlinks.
Our fencing business dropped slightly off the first page, simply because some backlinks were deleted, so could it be because you have backlinks deleted?

The only thing I can fathom is that some of your links aren't really being counted. There could be some legitimate reasons for that! For example, some links are no-followed and the links callutheran.edu seem to be from pages which have billions of links on (link-list URLs) which we know Google does not like to count Pinoy Flix
It's possible you got links from some great sites, but all that benefit was nullified by the format under which your links 'actually went live' (e.g: being on spammy link list URLs or being no-followed, or both!)

Yes, making high authority backlinks with a naked URL can increase your site Domain authority. For more information @ https://moz.com/blog/effective-link-building-campaign
-
If you want to increase the DA of your site, then go to great links with high-quality websites. Mostly try with DA 50 plus. For this always make links with Naked URL like https://pinoyhdonline.su/pariwiki/. Then read it about @ https://moz.com/blog/effective-link-building-campaign you will find everything right here.

We took a quick glance at https://theeurot20slam.comand this is what we found:
-
You have a total of 20 links from root domains. Your competitors have thousands. You need to get links.
-
In order to get links and to keep visitors browsing your site, you need to create compelling content. Look at the top ranking pages' content to get ideas on why there content is compelling and therefore has many links pointing to it.
-
On your Euro T20 Slam History page you spent the first two paragraphs telling me that this page is going to tell me about the history of this league. That's just fluff. You need to just start telling me about the history.
-
On your Boom Boom Shahid Afridi page you also waste the first paragraph telling me that this page is going to tell me about Boom Boom Afridi.
-
Unfortunately, there are a lot of grammar mistakes within your content that you need to fix as well. It's not compelling content if it's a little difficult to read.
You also need to create more pages. For example, when I go to your Icon Players page, you have a brief summary of 4 players but only one of them has a link to a bio page all about that player (Shahid Afridi). You'll have a better chance at ranking for Shane Waston, Brendon McCullum, and Rashid Khan if you build out awesome pages for each player.
Good luck!

To be honest I do find this very surprising and it would be interesting to see someone from Moz comment directly with the nuts and bolts of why this is. Google always ways that in terms of links, quality trumps quantity. Here we have an example of someone who has produced a new website, which Moz says has only a few links - but they are (for the most part) medium-high to high in terms of quality
I honestly would have expected to see a higher DA rating with links like that

If you want links to count for SEO, they have to be less shared and more your own. They have to serve a strong, obvious purpose that would bring users from one site to another (links which probably carry no actual traffic, aren't weighted by Google). Obviously your links should not be nullified for SEO via the no-follow tag

Basically, buy more high DA links from even more domains, I'd recommend in investing DA 60+ links. Moxz has produce some great Blogs recently on this matter:

Page Authority higher on my old (redirected) domain than new domain?
Hi everyone. I moved the domain my blog was on about 18 months ago, and it's ranking in Google never recovered. I've noticed in the 'Inbound Links' tool that my old domain (jamescrowley.co.uk) shows a page authority of 26, while my new domain (jamescrowley.net) shows a page authority of 15. Any idea why that would be? 301 redirects have been in place for the whole 18 months, so I'd have thought the authority would have been 'passed on' by now? Many thanks James

Domain Authority (DA) in Moz Pro changed only within the last 1-2 months?
Has anyone noticed that the Domain Authority (DA) as reported in Moz Pro has changed only within the last 1-2 months? We have screen shots showing plots of DA vs competitors w/ line graph 2 months ago starting in NOV 2017 which today starting JAN 2018 and comparing shows DA up to 50% different!
Link Explorer | | Amplitude_Digital
The change is seen both in the Links Overview and under the Spam Score sections still marked "NEW". Can Moz confirm that it's only recently within the last 2 months that in Moz Pro the NEW DA numbers have retroactively been updated even though the new Link Explorer has been publicly out since APR 30 from https://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-new-link-explorer-including-our-revamped-index-and-da-pa-scores-is-now-open-to-everyone? Look at the top green line starting ~12 months ago on both graphs, w/ old below 40 and new above 50. We've seen even greater differences for other tracked domains. Thanks! view0 -
Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
Page Authority dropped to 1 for subdirectory in my site
Hey, one of my sites https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing has had all it's pages drop to a page authority of 1 in Moz and the campaign doesnt appear to be indexing any pages from this directory. We launched a new site in this directory on the 12th and havent been getting any moz love since. The pages are indexable and followable, and are being indexed by google and others. The site on the root domain has been unaffected. Please help me get my moz campaign back on track. Thanks!

Can anyone explain the cause of having root domain metrics much smaller than subdomain metrics?
Hi!! I'm comparing OSE metrics for a site named like www.mydomain.com and have the following results: Subdomain MozTrust 5.65 (that is www.mydomain.com subdomain) Root domain MozTrust 0.82 (that is mydomain.com domain) On the other hand one of my competitor have: Subdomain MozTrust 3.68 (that is www.otherdomain.com subdomain) Root domain MozTrust 3.67 (that is otherdomain.com domain) Both websites' root domains point to the www subdomain. So how come in my domain theres is such a huge difference between these metrics and on the competitor's site both values are very similar? I'd greatly appreciate any comment on this. Cheers, David

Open Site Explorer not detecting linking domain on my site
So I was using Open Site Explorer to analyze my domain authority and page authority as can be seen here. My site has been covered by some press and in the article it actually links my site. Some of the articles can be seen on, here, here, and here. Any idea why none of these articles are detected as a linking domain to my site? Is there something that I am doing wrong?
