I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.
-
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now?
Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it.
My site is: Homeworkpaper.net
Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer from Moz official.

Do-follow and no-follow backlinks can both contribute to increasing Domain Authority (DA), but their impact differs.
-
Do-follow Backlinks:
- These are links that allow search engines to follow them and pass authority from the linking site to the linked site.
- Do-follow backlinks from high-authority and relevant sites can significantly boost a website's DA.
- They indicate to search engines that other reputable websites trust your content enough to link to it, which can positively impact your site's authority and search engine rankings.
- However, the impact of individual do-follow backlinks on DA depends on various factors such as the authority of the linking domain, relevance of the linking page, anchor text used, and the overall link profile of the website.
-
No-follow Backlinks:
- These are links that include a rel="nofollow" attribute in the HTML code, instructing search engines not to pass authority from the linking site to the linked site.
- While no-follow backlinks may not directly contribute to increasing DA, they can still have indirect benefits.
- No-follow backlinks can drive referral traffic to your site, which can indirectly improve your site's visibility and authority.
- They also contribute to a more natural and diverse backlink profile, which can be beneficial for SEO in the long run.
- Additionally, getting mentioned or linked from reputable sites, even if they are no-follow, can enhance your brand's credibility and authority within your industry.
In summary, while do-follow backlinks are generally more valuable for directly influencing DA, both types of backlinks play a role in improving a website's overall authority and SEO performance. It's essential to focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative and relevant sources, whether they are do-follow or no-follow, to effectively increase your site's DA over time.

In an ideal world organically growing your link profile would require both do-follow and nofollow backlinks. In your link building efforts make every effort to generate both.
I must say though that it might be a little harder to match them at 50:50 because getting do-follow links has increasingly become harder from reputable sites. Take Moz for example, I could quite easily get a nofollow to my website https://carrentaluganda.info/ but getting Moz to give you a dofollow is near impossible. So while you try to grab a bit of both to keep your profile healthy, you shouls not get furastrated at the fact that you are not attracting as much dofollows which are the main driver of link Juice. Happy hunting and cheers.

So, a business will wanta a mixture of do-follow and no-follow quality backlinks.
Most importantly, these links need to be relevant to your business, high quality, and built-in a white hat way.
What we mean by relevant is if you run lets, say, a business in the automotive sector and you manufacture, let's say, car turbos,
then will you need links from other automotive-related websites.
For example, we manufacture wooden summerhouses, so we want links from other construction websites that will help to improve our organic SEO.

Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). A Domain Authority score ranges from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater ability to rank.

Unsolved Thousands of links with same IP address found in backlinks
Hey, While researching the backlinks of a client's website I found around 3000 links with the structure: http://54.201.231.138/page. The IP doesn't seem to be of their website and the MOZ Spam score for the domain is 1%. Wondering what these links are and if they're a big problem? Thank you in advance. Warmly,

Most of the backlinks not listed
Hi, I'm running a website since one year and a half, and I'm periodically watching with Moz OSE tools the number of backlinks it has. It still shows only 11 backlinks from 8 domains, even if my actual backlinks are much more and come from about 40 domains. I've already searched the forum and read that Moz scraper updates once per month, but all these backlinks are like 6 months old, and still no trace. Many other competitor tools, including the simple google search console can see all the backlinks, only Moz can't retrieve them. Do you have any idea? Somebody else in the same situation? Or is there a way to submit to Moz links to pages containing that backlinks?

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 ?

OSE: Missing back-links and High DA website with low DA backlinks
I have gone through a website with 81 DA; where its link equity back-links with highest DA of 70. Hardly 5 back-links 60 to 70 DA and just 25 root domains. This seems very unusual to me. Can someone clarify this for me? Can a website with low DA back-links can make high DA? If so what could be other major contributing factors for this?

Could be the PA greater than the DA?
Hello users MOZ:
Link Explorer | | NachoRetta
I have a question about page and domain authority. It is OK that sometimes PA is greater than the DA? I think that's not right, but it happens in some domains, for example in the attached image. uB7HZhr.png1 -

How Can I Check New Backlinks?
I have attempted to use Open Site Explorer to attempt to see if the work I have been doing to earn new links is working and I cannot seem to find any new links. I tried the "just Discovered" beta, but I think that relies on Twitter, which these links would not appear on. How can I effectively monitor for new links (1 week or less in age) either using a Moz tool or an external tool that shows the date each link was discovered?
