Why is domain authority important?
Well, the bottom line of SEO is more Conversions, Leads and Sales through organic traffic.Consider this approach,
what date did you start this link-building campaign?Now, look at what is important, ANALYTICS and CONVERSIONS.
Google search console:
What has changed?
Impressions, CTR or position?
Gone up or down? Down means you wasted your time, up could mean it worked. If nothing has changed then WHY would your DA change??Next Google Analytics:
Acquisition and conversions.
Obviously, you would has used UTM structured links to track the performance of your link-building efforts.Most important 2 questions to ask yourself (my opinion),
- Will this link provide meaningful/relevant traffic to my site?
- Would a user who clicks on this link and sent to your website find your content useful relative to what they are looking for on the linking site?
What I am saying is, just because you have placed a link on a high DA website does not mean it will benefit your website.
Just a thought

Sometimes linking to the links that link to you from other pages or blogs you control can increase their domain relivency and then increase their value as backlinks.
For instance the links below link to a Solar Pool Panel Florida Installer from Orlando. that is a client of ours
www.10url.com/topics/entertainment
www.10url.com/story/grapes-on-mars-georgia-winemakers-aiming-high
www.10url.com/story/white-house-staff-ordered-to-wear-masks
www.10url.com/label/blake-shelton
www.10url.com/label/jeremy-clarkson
Because these domains will now show a backlink from Moz ( a No follow link at that) It will ensure that that page is indexed, and show the relevant context from the post that I am writting about solar pool heating up Back-links through back-link-linking
This is one small trick you can use to ensure your back-links are indexed and also that they have a little boost of solar powered link-juice

Hi there! I have a few things to offer here.
Keep in mind Moz uses their own robots to index the net and does not have the indexing power that Google has. Crawl Budget is a big factor of course. Google has vastly more resources therefore the Moz score cannot be 100% trusted; though it can be utilized as a kind of general way point to help us do our jobs, and it does tend to be relatively accurate if not dead on.
That brings me to my next point. When getting links you must consider more than just the DA score.
Is the link truly relevant?
Does it deliver traffic?
How your anchor text profile?
All spammed out with exact match?
Or are you balancing things naturally using semantic match, phrase match, branded match, generic even is needed in a proper anchor text profile, and others like URL match etc etc.I wrote a recent article that you might just like. It touches generally on some Tech SEO/Backlink profile management:

Understanding Redirects and Canonical Tags in SEO: A Complex Case
Hi everyone, nothing serious here, i'm just playing around doing my experiments 🙂
Technical SEO | | chueneke
but if any1 of you guys understand this chaos and what was the issue here, i'd appreciate if you try to explain it to me. I had a page "Linkaufbau" on my website at https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau. My .htaccess file contains only basic SEO stuff: # removed ".html" using htaccess RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.html\ HTTP RewriteRule (.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L] # internally added .html if necessary RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ RewriteRule (.*) $1\.html [L] # removed "index" from directory index pages RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301,L] # removed trailing "/" if not a directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$ RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301,L] # Here’s the first redirect: RedirectPermanent /index / My first three questions: Why do I need this rule? Why must this rule be at the top? Why isn't this handled by mod_rewrite? Now to the interesting part: I moved the Linkaufbau page to the SEO folder: https://chriseo.de/seo/linkaufbau and set up the redirect accordingly: RedirectPermanent /linkaufbau /seo/linkaufbau.html I deleted the old /linkaufbau page. I requested indexing for /seo/linkaufbau in the Google Search Console. Once the page was indexed, I set a canonical to the old URL: <link rel="canonical" href="https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau"> Then I resubmitted the sitemap and requested indexing for /seo/linkaufbau again, even though it was already indexed. Due to the canonical tag, the page quickly disappeared. I then requested indexing for /linkaufbau and /linkaufbau.html in GSC (the old, deleted page). After two days, both URLs were back in the serps:: https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau.html this is the new page /seo/linkaufbau
b14ee095-5c03-40d5-b7fc-57d47cf66e3b-grafik.png This is the old page /linkaufbau
242d5bfd-af7c-4bed-9887-c12a29837d77-grafik.png Both URLs are now in the search results and all rankings are significantly better than before for keywords like: organic linkbuilding linkaufbau kosten linkaufbau service natürlicher linkaufbau hochwertiger linkaufbau organische backlinks linkaufbau strategie linkaufbau agentur Interestingly, both URLs (with and without .html) redirect to the new URL https://chriseo.de/seo/linkaufbau, which in turn has a canonical pointing to https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau (without .html). In the SERPs, when https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau is shown, my new, updated snippet is displayed. When /linkaufbau.html is shown, it displays the old, deleted page that had already disappeared from the index. I have now removed the canonical tag. I don't fully understand the process of what happened and why. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful. Best regards,

Example of a local "boring-niche" site in a relatively high competition area using strictly white hat tactics
I'm looking for an example of a site in a very boring service niche locally "let's say elevator doors in chicago" or something like that, that successfully using blogging, content generation, etc to achieve top rankings above its spammy competitors. Anyone care to give out a case study? I'm not talking about companies that submit to 100's of local directories like yelp, or google maps rankings. I'm talking about organic or blended serps.

What do the "best" backlink profiles look like, in terms of percentages from quality content, bookmarks, social media, directories, etc?
I recognize that there is no such thing as one ideal link profile, per se, but I am curious, if you sampled 100 high authority sites, what would their inbound links look like on average, broken out by source type? Some sites would have a ton of social sharing due to their funny pop-cultural content, while others might be quoted and linked in context for their brilliant insights. A very technical resource might gain a lot of links from forum discussions. If I can complete this exercise on my own, I welcome your advice on how to do that with OSE or the like.
