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:

Backlinks embedded in posts or backlinks in sidebar?
What's better? A backlink to my site, embedded into a blog post/article? Or a hardlink in the sidebar? The problem with links embedded inside articles, is that when the blog linking to me, gets updated, the articles disappear from first page and I lose the link from home page. How do you deal with this? I also read this: "The best link you can get is from a site ranking #1 for the keyword you want to rank for. It would be great to have the #1 site for a desired keyword linking me even if they are a PR 0 site." Is this right? Thx in advance.
