      Hi,

      I have launch a new website, lorraine on october of 2021 and I have added it to a bunch a local and national directories to improme it local rankings.

      But when I get the domain authority and link data from MOZ it has only ten links and no one of them is from local/national directories.

      I have three questions:

      • Do you know if it is normal that after 9 months DA is 1?
      • Is there any problem with local/national directory links?
      • I dont like buy links like others do but it seems the only way to improve domain authority and rankings.

        1. Fluctuations in domain authority are common, this might be the effect of the bad links got from the directories.
        2. Try to get quality links from the local directories.
        3. You can always build organic do-follow links through guest posting it helps in building your Domain authority.
          If you're willing to do guest posting, I would say use Postifluence. It will make your guest posting work easier by finding the top ranking guest posting sites and it's quite an affordable tool.

          inurl:edu/forum/*register

          Very interesting...

          I have this one link directory: https://www.qdq.com/lorraine-1196639

          But If I google it:
          site:qdq.com inurl:lorraine

          698aba54-6f37-45e8-9f9b-a28c86f6b632-image.png

          It seems to not been indexed.

          How can I index this page If it isnt of my property?

          Thanks

              I think it is correct, you have a PA of 16 on your domain with these links, then the DA will increase more slowly no doubt.

                Hi Lorraine,
                I was there where you are right now.
                But now I have gone far away by using some methods

                1. try to submit your sites to high ranking directories, forums etc.
                2. Google this and submit your site manually.
                  inurl:edu/forum/*register

                Hope it helps.

                    Link-building remains a crucial part of SEO, but with Google's algorithms constantly evolving, many traditional techniques are becoming less effective. I'm interested in learning about the latest link-building strategies that are expected to be successful in 2024.

                    I am particularly new to the field of SEO and Backlinking and I have recently started my own blog feel free to have a look (https://thehorseradar.com/). What I wanted to find out is how can I achieve a DA of at least 30. What should be my link-building strategy? & what steps should I take first? With an abundance of overwhelming info available online I have gotten really confused about what would work and what would not. If someone would lay out the steps needed to be taken, I would be extremely grateful! Thank You

                    Hello, When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform. I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming. When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore) What could cause this and how can i end it?? Thanks for your help! Sander

                    Open Site Explorer Recently Discovered Links Question

                    Hey Mozzers, I have a question regarding the Open Site Explorer Recently Discovered Links. I know that I have receive follow link from a few sites that have more DA than my site. I am wondering why it is taking so long for OSE to discover these links? I double checked the sites to make sure that they don't have NOFOLLOW (sorry for the double negative), and the sites have linked to my site for over a month now. Any ideas? I'm not concerned about it because Search Engines have discovered those links. I am just curious why this is, or if it is normal. Cheers!
