Unsolved How Should I Increase DA of my Website?
-
Google itself has been troubled by ranking factors. On top of that, the https://moz.com/ has worn a new garland of domain authority. It is even more regrettable when a website DA suddenly decreased. As recently on 22nd September, my website's DA was 16. As usual, on September 23, I posted a new informational blog related to QuickBooks antivirus exclusions on my website. The very next day my website DA was decreased.
Can anyone who knows SEO help me understand why this always happens specially to me every time? I read the whole forum and all I found out is how my site's DA is decreased.
Can anyone let us know whether we can increase the Domain Authority of our website only by creating backlinks or there can be some other activities also? -
Hi @ravigaurav , I understand your frustration with Domain Authority (DA) fluctuations—it’s a common challenge for many website owners. DA is a metric developed by Moz and is influenced by various factors, including the quality and quantity of backlinks, site structure, and overall SEO health. The drop in your DA could be due to a variety of reasons, like a recalibration of Moz’s algorithm or even a decrease in the quality or number of backlinks pointing to your site.
While backlink building is essential to improving DA, it’s important to remember that DA is a holistic metric. Here are some other strategies to consider alongside building quality backlinks:
1.Improve On-Page SEO: Ensure your site’s technical health, including mobile-friendliness, page speed, and user experience. These factors indirectly impact how search engines view your site’s authority.
2.Content Quality: Publishing high-quality, engaging content like you did with your QuickBooks blog can help, but consistency and addressing user intent are key.
3.Internal Linking: Strengthening your internal linking structure can pass authority within your site and improve overall SEO.
4.Engage with Social Media: Although social media signals don’t directly affect DA, promoting your content on various platforms can help drive traffic and increase the chances of others linking back to your site.

To increase your website's Domain Authority (DA), focus on building high-quality backlinks from reputable sites, as backlinks are key to boosting DA. Create valuable, shareable content that attracts links naturally. Optimize your on-page SEO by improving site structure, meta tags, and keyword usage. Ensure your site is mobile-friendly, loads quickly, and provides a great user experience. Engage in social media marketing to drive traffic, and regularly update your content to keep it fresh and relevant. Patience and consistency are essential!

To increase the Domain Authority (DA) of your website, follow these strategies:
High-Quality Backlinks: Focus on getting backlinks from authoritative and relevant sites. Guest posting, outreach, and partnerships can help build strong links.
Create Valuable Content: Publish unique, well-researched, and engaging content that people find useful. This increases the likelihood of earning natural backlinks.
Optimize On-Page SEO: Ensure proper use of meta tags, titles, keywords, and internal linking structure. Clean, SEO-friendly code also helps.
Improve User Experience: Make sure your website is fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate. A better user experience leads to more engagement, reducing bounce rates.
Promote Content on Social Media: Increased traffic and shares can indirectly boost your DA by improving your site's visibility.

Hire a SEO guy and he will worry about that. If you are looking for free you need to understand following:-
What DA is?
Why it was made?
How it is evaluated?
How can I gain it?"From my personal experience it takes years to build and just few moments to destroy" Two years at Medicinal Mad Honey and still on the move.

Hey Ravigaurav,
Domain Authority (DA) fluctuations can be confusing. There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to changes in DA, and it’s not just about backlinks.
Moz Updates: Moz periodically updates its algorithm, which can affect DA across the board. This may explain the sudden drop you noticed after the 23rd. It's a common occurrence and can happen even if nothing drastic changed on your site.
DA is Relative: Remember, DA isn’t just about your site alone. It's relative to all other sites. If competitors are building stronger links or improving their SEO, it can impact your score.
Backlink Quality Matters: It’s not only about getting backlinks but ensuring they’re from relevant, high-authority sites. A drop in the quality of one or more of your referring domains could impact your DA.
Other SEO Factors: While backlinks are crucial, other factors like on-page SEO, site performance (speed, mobile-friendliness), and user engagement (low bounce rate, longer time on page) play a role too.
Rather than focusing only on backlinks, I'd recommend a well-rounded approach—content quality, technical SEO, and link-building all together can have a more lasting impact.
Hope that will help you, if not you can reply for more details. You can check out resources like this for more detailed guidance.

Duplicate Content on Website with Multiple Locations
Hi there, I've spent hours reading posts on duplicate content and googling this but I'm still not sure what to do. We created a site that has two WP installs for a company with two different locations - the landing page is website.com and links to WP install 1 (website.com/city1), and WP install 2 (website.com/city2). They specifically wanted two different sites so they could be managed by staff at either location. However some of the pages have the same content - ie. services, policies, etc. so all of those are showing errors for duplicate content. All pages have different city-specific URL's and meta-descriptions but that clearly doesn't help. We can't redirect the "duplicate" pages because then it would take the user to the other city's specific site. Is there anything we can do?? Is this going to significantly damage rankings? Thanks kindly for any help you can provide.

How to increase Page Authority
Hi All, I have had some free time lately and have wanted to try and figure out how Moz calculates page authority and what I can do to increase page authority. For instance, I have a real estate site (As some of you may know already) and of course there are places like Zillow.com who have amazing Domain Authority and even page authority for a certain address. So this is just some random address to where most of the local sites I compete with have a PA of 1. Is there a way to get that PA up? Would it be sharing it on Social Media, or writing a blog post about it (which I of course would not want do do with every listing (hundreds) but was curious how Zillow could have such a high page rank on a property that maybe came up a day or two ago. Examples: zillow: http://goo.gl/99A57C my site: http://goo.gl/K6xmW6 Thanks for any guidance!
