No-Follow backlinks don’t directly impact Domain Authority (DA) as they don’t pass link equity, but they can still benefit SEO by driving traffic and increasing brand visibility. They contribute to a DG Paystub diverse backlink profile, which can indirectly improve DA through enhanced site metrics. For ranking an Android app website, focus on quality content, keyword optimization, and gaining Do-Follow links for better results.

In my Point of View No-Follow Back-links are Not Potential for Increasing DA, What do You think?

No, NoFollow backlinks do not directly affect a website's Domain Authority (DA). Domain Authority is based on factors like the quality and relevance of linking domains, but NoFollow links are not included in its calculations.

I have a question "My website is about an Android Application. It has been published for 2 months now. How should I do SEO to rank my site on SERP, and how much time does it usually take to appear on SERP".

@Buzz-s said in DA and NoFollow:
Are NoFollow backlinks given any consideration when calculating DA?
As a Freelance Digital Marketer in Kochi, I believe NoFollow backlinks are typically not given direct consideration when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). It's based on a variety of factors, including the quality and quantity of backlinks, website age, content quality, and more.
NoFollow backlinks are hyperlinks that instruct search engines not to pass authority or PageRank to the linked page. While NoFollow links may not directly contribute to improving a website's DA, they can still have indirect benefits

When Google is checking the quality of a businesses backlinks,, its always good to have a mixture of do-follow and also no-follow links, sure its the do-follow that sends the link equity, yet you still need no follow as well, as these links, can still bring shoppers to your website.
we have a lot of no follow links to our summerhouse construction company, yet we get a lot of sales, from our hundreds of no-follow backlinks.

Thanks for this amazing post and detailed answer. I was looking for the solution of same problem. So, you have solved my problem. Thanks again and keep sharing such content.

No, NoFollow backlinks are not directly considered in Domain Authority calculations. DA primarily assesses the quality and quantity of followed (DoFollow) backlinks. However, NoFollow links can still contribute to your overall SEO strategy by diversifying your link profile and potentially driving traffic. Cheers!

@Buzz-s NoFollow backlinks are generally not considered when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA, a metric developed by Moz, primarily assesses the strength and quality of a website's backlink profile. While NoFollow links do not pass link equity directly, they are often viewed as a part of a natural and diverse link profile. However, in the calculation of DA, the focus is predominantly on Follow links, which directly influence a site's ability to rank in search engines.
Keep in mind that NoFollow links still hold value for traffic generation and can indirectly contribute to your site's authority by driving user engagement and potentially leading to more Follow links.
Cheers!

Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority
I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

Unsolved Website with no backlinks and a DA of 1 ranks first. Why?
https://www.realestatephotos.melbourne does not have any backlinks and has a DA of 1.
Keyword Explorer | | garrypat
This site ranks first for keywords - real estate photography melbourne and property photography melbourne.
Not sure why.
URL contains keywords and site is ok. But other sites with many links and higher DA rank lower. Why? Garry1 -

Asking a site to remove a "nofollow" on a link to our client
Hello, We created a good infographic for a client of ours and a large tech site (DA 86) picked up and ran a story on it. We didn't contact this company asking them to feature it, they have just picked it up through other shares around the Web. I understand that, at the end of the day, it's their prerogative whether to "nofollow" their links or not, but surely they should be giving our client some credit as they have clearly deemed the graphic newsworthy and felt that it would appeal to their readership. I've emailed said tech site, but to no avail. Does anyone have any advice on this? Or is it just a case of they can do what the heck they want? I know that our client will still benefit from the additional referral traffic, but a follow link would have been nicer! Cheers, Lewis
