I'm a beginner. I want to know what this is 'DA'

What's a DA?
-
DA stands for Domain Authority. Moz uses the DA algorithm to make a single score for the whole site. The Algorithm takes into account the links pointing to your site, total number of referring domains, total number of backlinks etc. It's co related to how powerful your site is and how would you rank/get traffic from Google.

Hi there!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)
There's also a video!
Here's a preview: Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines.
Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time.
We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, etc.—into a single score.
I hope this helps - just let me know if you have any other questions!

I haven't used Moz and you've been billing me. Please refund thanks
I signed on for a free trial and found out today that you've billed me in June and July. Check my history as this is only the second time i've logged in and it's just to request you refund.

I set up a custom report to be sent to me daily about a week ago, but I haven't received any of them yet?
How long do they really take? I think I opted in to receive emails from MOZ but I didn't see that as an option on the email form. I need to be able to rely on the assumption that if I set up a custom email to send that it will in fact send.

I signed up for a free trial yesterday. Today I wanted to analyze some Twitter accounts and got a message that I had reached my daily quota after only two searches! What's going on?
When I first discovered Followerwonk, I searched 15 accounts before reaching my daily quota. Now that I have signed up for a Pro account, how come I can only search two? How come there's any daily limit at all now?
