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:

How to remove backlinks?
Hey guys, With all this anti over optimization movement going around with Google, I decided to do a link building profile audit. I see some pages with PR 0 and some pages that expired. My websites are not penalized at this moment, however I do want to avoid this at all costs. What can I do? Could a backlink from an expired domain penalize my site?

Frustrated with spammy backlinks from competitors
I've only been doing SEO for my company for the last month and I've made some headway but what is really frustrating me right now is a couple of competitors that have OBVIOUS spammy links ranking in the number 1,2,3 stops all over the board for the keywords i'm going for. One competitor in particular has anchor text links EVERYWHERE that make absolutely no sense...junk like... "I have never been more saddened by anything in my life than when my grandfather got cancer. I told my uncle he needed to buy some auto insurance. I really like pork." I mean, these links are the pages with the most page authority and page rank out of all of the ones they have...and I'd venture to say that almost all of their backlinks are like this...well, half of them are just random links with good anchor text on the sidebar of a bazillion spam websites (diapers, toys, fake blogs, etc.)...while i have about 3k links and most of my top competitors have about 5k links...these guys have over 33k. Worse yet, when I look at something like Alexa rank, they have pretty high overall traffic rank but it shows traffic rank in MX (mexico) instead of the US...these guys only sell in the US! I mean, they're black hat if I've ever seen such a thing and they rank superbly on all keywords. What can I do to compete with this junk?
