Can I increase my DA with backlinks pointing to the www version ?
-
Hello Guys, I hope I am posting this in the right section...
I was wondering something...
I use the www version for my website, So I set the cannonicalisation and the 301 Redirect of non-www to www version.
But I checked my website on MOZ (Open Site Explorer) and when I type in mywebsite.com I get 19 DA and 1 PA.
When I typed in www,mywebsite.com I get 19 DA and 32 PA.
So i would like to have some clarifications about how their domain authority and page authority system work. My PA of the www version is higher than my DA because almost all my link point to the www version and I do the 301 redirect. ?
But how can I increase my DA if I focus on building backlink to the www version of my website ?
Should I build link to the non-www version of my website to increase my DA even if I use the www version for my website ?
If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ?
If I build backlink to the www version of my website will it increase the DA of my website ?
Im really confused here so any help and clarification from you guys will be really appreciated.
Thank You.

Step 1. - DON'T PANIC!
Step 2. - Understand that Moz's DA & PA can take a little while to find that you've set a canonical and or 301. Further to this understand that Moz is attempting to give you an indicator to what is an authority (a good link etc.) this is not an absolute nor is it a garuntee of ranking.
Step 3. - Relax, have some of your favorite beverage.
Humor aside as long as you've implemented the 301 correctly the rest will take affect it can just take a little time for Roger bot to find your changes, rest assured I'm sure Google has found your changes and given the link juice the right treatment. On top of this links pointed to www. and none www. is still a perfectly natural portfolio.
Short answer:
If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301
redirect ?
Yes, well technically it would increase DA for the none-www in a more exact way.
If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ?
see above answer , id recommend you build links to the main version you are going to use (www.)
But how can I increase my DA if I focus on building backlink to the www version of my website ?
Build links to the www. and any none www. will be taken care of by the 301
So i would like to have some clarifications about how their domain authority and page authority system work. My PA of the www version is higher than my DA because almost all my link point to the www version and I do the 301 redirect. ?
PA is base on the links going to that page
DA is based on all the links going to that domain across all the pages.
The reason you may have a higher DA - PA is that page is stronger value than the domain, try not to over think this!
Hope that helps, and remember - DONT PANIC!

Flauctuating number of Internal Equity-Passing Links affecting DA
My site has a high number of fluctuating internal equity passing links in open site explorer from month to month, theses range from 30 000 and sometimes as high as 1,million. The fluctuations occur even when I have made no changes onsite. I have noticed that when the internal equity passing links are very high the DA drops and when they are low the DA is high, has anyone ever experienced this with open site explorer ?

Why there is high DA for blank brand new sites?
I bought a domain name directly from the registrar 1 year ago. This Domain name has a very good combination of words and .biz extension. I didn't really do anything, I have default wordpress and GA installation. Now I check this site with Moz Bar and OSE and see it has 9DA and 21PA. How come? Quick Facts: Since October last year it has 1000 hits. 9 external links - all links from random domain directories/listings Any ideas how brand new domain name with no original content can have DA9 not DA1?

DA/PA Question
Hello Mozzers, May be a noobish question but I've learned to ask when I stuck. Can we calculate how many links we need to get for example a domain authority of 40. Like can we say, if we get 8 more 80+ DA links, our own DA rises to 40. I know DA/PA are just moz numbers and it takes a lot more to succeed, but I thought about it and now I want to know it;) Help is highly appreciated!
