My Domain Authority is 1 and has number "0" link from Root Domains! What is my fault?
-
My website has started from August of this year, but number of Domain Authority (DA) is 1 and has number "0" from root domains when i checked by moz addon on firefox. I find it very unusual and I am worried about it. does anyone can explain why is that ?
My website is: https://adtvietnam.vn . I had 10 --> 20 keywords on page 1 of google.com.vn.
p/s: i am really not good at english. i wrote that words by translate.google.com. I hope everyone can understand me and God i need your help ^_^

I would agree with Pixel by Pixel, DA is all about links, but its not the quantity you need to worry about, its the relevancy of the links.
Also you don't want to get links, you need to earn links - then you don't need to worry about penalties from Google and other search engines.
To earn links there is plenty of great articles on Moz about improving your DA but I would start from this one http://moz.com/learn/seo/page-authority
Thanks

Moz tends not to show as many of the "blog & forum comments" as the other link tools. Majestic somewhat ignores these as well. I think it's a choice because so many low quality & spam links come from these types of places that it's better to prioritise higher quality links in their index. Crawling links costs quite a lot of money so for them to crawl forum comments & "pings" just doesn't make sense.
You have 1 link on Majestic and basically none on Moz. However, Ahrefs shows 252. 219 of these are from quangbaweb.edu.vn
This is a forum and, as expected, Moz doesn't crawl this section of their site. This .edu.vn site is very authoritative on the main pages and has over 1 million links to its own homepage but the section you are getting links from is fairly low quality and not crawled by these types of tools.
-
To increase your domain authority you may need more links, I don't see any at the moment.
DA is based on the amount of links to your site and their quality, no links means a very low DA.
Hope that helps and it is clear.

Requesting udpate's from old domain to new domain
Hey guys, We had a domain change three years ago now which was redirected. Many of the old domains have not been updated to the new domain. The redirect is in place. I'm just wondering if there would it be a worthwhile exercise to reach out to sites to request an update of the URL link from an SEO perspective? Many thanks Rob

Puzzled by high ranking page (#2 in SERPs) with zero/low page or domain authority
So, I get the smoothie that is page authority and domain authority and the link metrics that Moz uses to predict how well a page will rank for a certain keyword. I can look at a specific search term where we are on say, page 2 or 3, with a page authority of 1 and domain authority of 26, I get why competitors rank above us. But then I look at a keyword that is much more competitive, where we rank #2, which is awesome, where the landing page is also showing a page authority of 1, and domain authority of 26. How can we rank higher than competitors with a page authority of 56 and domain authority of 65? Their onpage optimization for the keyword is no worse, and sometimes better that ours but we maintain this ranking. By the way the competition also have hundreds if not thousands more linking root domains than our page. Any ideas why one keyword is a rockstar and one is a dud, with the same poor PA and DA?

E-Commerce more emphasis on root domain and categories?
Hi all, I'm still in my dilema after taking over this ecommerce site. Currently running Volusion(please for your own sake never use them, 7$ for each GB over), I plan on taking the site to a dedicated server running on Magento. Should we worry too much since majority of our links are to the root domain while a small portion is to actual products? I think there should be more emphasis on the categories and root domain rather than actual product pages. I mean this is e-commerce and not a content site. Thanks!

Bloggers "no_follow"
Hi Guy's, We have been sending bloggers products to review and in return we ask for a link back to our website to the relevant product. As I now understand it, Google is no longer giving this any weight & bloggers are being advised to use the "no follow" tag. So have I understood the new rules correctly? If so is it worth us continuing to send bloggers products to review? Thanks Daniel

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.

Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one
Link Building | | Brian_Worger
page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa
63) where I can create area links to each of my area pages if I
wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0 -
Multiple same domain links on Open Site Explorer
In doing competitor link analysis on Open Site Explorer, I've noticed quite a few links coming from the same domain listed separately. This seems to be especially prevalent with Google directory listings. For example, I'll see a link to the site from google.hu/...., google.am/..., google.kz/..., etc. In some cases, it will be prefixed with an IP address, followed by the subfolder address. Correct me if I am wrong, but these seem to be all counting as separate root domains that are linking to the site. How is this done? Are directory submissions given to each country's google directory? Does an original DMoz listing get re-submitted to all of these? Just looking for some clarification on this and how it's accomplished. Thanks everyone!
