Unsolved domain authority has not changed

My website is spiritual world. My DA and PA are not that good but still get some traffic. Its increasing slowly. I dont go for spamy website backlinks. Try to keep my contents updated. Good will rank it higher if its good. So DA doesnt matter much.
Just focus on quality of content. -
Google relies heavily on the link patterns from a website’s referring domains to judge the website and then rank it in order of relevance. Remember that Google is investigating the quality of links at a much deeper level than before. Therefore, domains with obviously spammy links will get knocked down in the DA ratings.
Moz has stated that the new algorithm can better detect spammy links and therefore devalue them.This will ideally lead to a large drop in Domain Authority for link sellers’ spammy domains.

Domain authority is the scam in SEO.

@dailynewshelp , yes. may be because of google update, your rankings go down. so try to improve the content based on the first page rankers. find out the opportunities from competitors those who are ranking in first page for your targeted keywords. make sure that content is fresh. Try to backlinks from High DA and less spam score websites. Give good page experience to the user.

@Matt-M is absolutely correct about links not being the only factor but good quality links will move your DA in most tools. However, as most people have said it is not the best metric to be looking at.
I recently have done a super relevant link building campaign on a client site that had a DA of 3 for the past 3 years with literally no movement, they had around 100 referring domains mostly from foundation links and low authority sites. In the last 30 days I created only another 70 referring domains but all were super relevant with various levels of authority. in those 30 days the DA from my tool has increased to 16.
Although this is meaningless as it does not neccessarily convert to rankings or visitors by itself, rather the link building campaign has helped rankings. I guess if you were looking to sell a domain/site you might care about this number i cannot see any other benefit to it.

The number of backlinks is not the only factor for determining domain authority, The quality of backlinks is much more important than the quantity of them. For example if you make thousands of backlinks from low quality websites and weblogs, it doesn't have much effect on your ranking. Search engines can detect overlinking from special domains, low quality links and etc. The best suggestion would be trying to do everything naturally. And SEO needs you to be patient. You can't expect immediate or within weeks results in many cases especially for new domains.

I was facing the same thing few months back with Apk Mortgage, but then suddenly my DA got increased a bit after few time. So, it might be a better practice to create High Quality Backlinks instead of waiting for getting the DA increased!

I've been trying the same for my voopoo store thinking da would be the best to focus on but now I see that there's no point to do that. Thanks

The DA score doesn't really mean anything. You shouldn't be focusing your time or energy on it. It's a fake number that SEO tools come up with as a best guess. Nothing wrong with using it as a guide but it doesn't really matter if it goes up or down. It does not correlate to any actual number that Google may have for your website. It's the tools best guess as to how Google might view your site. Focus on individual keywords, how they are ranking and what kind of traffic you are getting. Those are things you actually have control of and can see real data on.

Backlinks on Moz not on Google Search Console
Moz is showing thousands of backlinks to my site that are not showing up on Google Search Console - which is good because those links were created by some spammer in Pakistan somewhere. I haven't yet submitted a disavow report to Google of well over 10K links because the list keeps growing every day with new backlinks that have been rerouted to a 404 page. I have asked Google to clarify and they put my question on their forum for an answer, which I'm still waiting for - so I thought I'd try my luck here. My question... If Moz does not match Google Search Console, and backlinks are important to results, how valid is the ranking that Moz creates to let me know how I'm doing in this competition and if I'm improving or not. If the goal is to get Google to pay attention and I use Moz to help me figure out how to do this, how can I do that if the backlink information isn't the same - by literally over 10 000 backlinks created by some spammer doing odd things... They've included the url from their deleted profile on my site with 100s of other urls, including Moz.com and are posting them everywhere with their preferred anchor text. Moz ranking considers the thousands of spam backlinks I can't get rid of and Google ignores them or disavows them. So isn't the rankings, data, and graphs apples and bananas? How can I know what my site's strength really is and if I'm improving or not if the data doesn't match? Complete SEO Novice Shannon Peel

How to get rid of bad backlinks
So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png

Should I disavow these links?
Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
Link Building | | SolveWebMedia
Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5 Slightly different site but same favicon icon:

Unsolved Domain Authority Not Changed?
The domain authority has not changed for a few months; even I got some high-quality links from authority sites, and Moz has not crawled them yet? Can someone tell me how much time it generally Moz takes to crawl new links for a domain and update DA?
