What tool can I use to evaluate the domain authority of a competitor?

Derrick,
"Domain authority" is pretty much a term that Moz coined back around 1995 as an alternative to Google's term "pagerank". Essentially the two describe the same thing and Moz's tools evolved since then as a means to quantify the factors that make up pagerank/authority. Moz's tools are a good place to start wrapping your arms around the strength of a competitor's site as compared to yours.

Hi Derick. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons is great for back of the envelope calculations as is the Moz toolbar. If you want to get really in-depth you'll likely want to run some full reports, export, and go through the data in a spreadsheet.
The http://moz.com/labs/link-finder Competitve Link Finder is also nice for seeing areas to gain lift that your competitors have already found.

How you can manipulate your MOZ DA
I have become frustrated at MOZ in the last few months, none of my backlinks have made it into the index. Old back links. Long story short, I figured out the issue and I figured out how anyone can manipulate their DA. I wrote a blog post about it here, http://blog.dh42.com/manipulate-moz/

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?
