Hi Jason
With the great information above from Matt and Alick, I suggest you take a look at a similar question and answer from earlier in the forum.
I discuss some tips and resources that could help get you started on seeing some headway with your PA and DA. Read that here.
Let me know if you need anymore help! Good luck, sir!

Hi MattAntonino,
Next so much for your reply. I will try the suggested and see how it works.
Thanks. -
I don't think the directories you've submitted to are listing you yet - or they have your URL wrong. According to Moz you have 0 links. According to Majestic Historic Index (a very large backlink database) you also have zero links. Ahrefs finds 3 backlinks total, from:
and submitse.com
These are very, very low quality links.
When I search your url in Google I find your Youtube channel and your Facebook page among other links. The Youtube links don't have hyperlinks, just text. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChDJ0RcYN00
Add http:// and link these descriptions first.
Even your link in the post above is unlinked. I'm not suggesting you use Moz forum for link building but you seem to never use the http:// and that's why a lot of links aren't real links. You have more "text links" than real clickable links.
Basically, you don't have any real links. That's why you don't have a PA or DA higher than 1. While these metrics, by themselves, won't get you ranking, you really do need to generate some awareness of your site so it would be a good start to work on authority, link building, fixing your text links, etc.

Hi Jason,
First of all don't focus on the directory only. I don't know on which directory you have submitted your site and most of the directories have been ineffective for a long time now.
I'm sharing an article on this that will help you to increase PA & DA @ http://www.searchenginejournal.com/50-ways-to-increase-the-domain-authority-of-your-site-infographic/77281/
Thanks

UPDATE: Rolling back an adjustment which had adverse effects on DA and PA scores.
UPDATE: Yesterday's (June 4, 2018) adjustment to our DA/PA metrics turned out to have some unanticipated adverse effects. We're rolling back the adjustment, so by midday tomorrow you should see your scores return to what they were earlier this week. We're also implementing some new procedural checks on our end to help make sure it doesn't happen again. We sincerely apologize for any stress or burden this may have caused. We also want to emphasize that DA and PA are relative metrics. The scores will fluctuate slightly with the index, and for that reason, should be used to compare your site with others. We realize this isn't always easy to explain to clients and stakeholders, so we're working on ways to help you all report these metrics in ways that minimize the potential for confusion. ****** We are continuing to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index. As of today, June 14, 2018, You may notice a slight variation in current and historic DA/PA scores in Link Explorer and tools that incorporate our new link data such as Campaigns, Keyword Explorer, and MozBar. This is due to a planned adjustment on our end that could be more noticeable than our standard updates. We made this adjustment in order to account for the rapid growth of our link index over the past 6 months and and stabilize distribution of scores over time. For customers who have been tracking DA scores over time, you may want to make note of this adjustment date in your reporting. Rest assured that our DA and PA scores are still far more stable and accurate than they were previously in Open Site Explorer. Our index is now 20 times larger (and growing) and updating daily rather than monthly, therefore standard fluctuations in the index are far less noticeable in your score than before. DA and PA will still always fluctuate slightly and naturally with the index. As the landscape of the internet changes, so should our index to reflect those changes. Whenever we make an update on our end that could be noticeable on your end, we will let you know. Also, please remember that DA and PA scores should always be understood as relative to other sites’ scores in the index, and reported to clients in relation to their competition and not as a standalone metric of individual performance. If you have more questions about DA or the difference between the new score in Link Explorer vs. the old score in OSE, please read this FAQ page, or post a question below and I or a Mozzer will reach out. Thank you! Ian

No Internal Links
I have noticed on both OSE and also on the Crawl Test that our site www.advantageservices.net is showing only 1 internal link. I tried looking around as what might cause this but haven't been able to figure it out.

Feedburner Links Showing Up In OSE
I, for years now, have been seeing lots of links from http://feeds.feedburner.com/ showing up very high in backlink profiles. Why is this? And if these links are not passing link juice why are they being reported on in OSE? Seems like there should be some sort of filter for these, or that OSE bot should follow robots.txt directives as googlebot does.

Removing the clutter of site-wide links
I have a multi-part question with regard to the moz link index and some presentation suggestions. Firstly I would be interested to know how the link index treats site-wide links with regard to metrics such as DA, and PA. We all know that it is highly likely that SE's are unlikely to pass full link value across from sitewide links, and therefore it would make sense for Moz values to account for this as well - if they do not already. One annoying thing that also relates to sitewides is that they tend to clutter the much of the information presentation in a few of the tools (you can't see wood for trees as it were). This is most prominent in the "Just Discovered" page - if you have a sitewides on a large site, you can often find that this screen is just totally filled with these links as they are found. It would be very useful to be able to filter these out, as they are of little interest - currently I can't see a way of filtering them out. A further value where they create to much noise is the 'Total Links' value. Where sitewides are included in this value, the value actually becomes pretty meaningless as you can find that the majority of that value is sitewides. It would therefore be useful if there was another value for 'Total Links - Excluding Sitewides' where maybe value of 1 was just added to the count for a site wide
