Welcome to the Q&A Forum

seoman10,

I do realize that DA is not a Google metric, my thought was that SSL (or TLS) would be a factor in calculating the DA score, especially because of the recent changes Google has made with secure/not secure sites.

Thanks for your time! I consider this answered

I am trying to build some good quality backlinks, how important is SSL for the site that we post guest blogs on? I realize that if a site does not have SSL currently, their DA will likely not go up very fast because of Google's new algorithms, but currently, I am looking at a couple sites with a DA of 40 and 41.

By the way, my site has SSL (is https).

Thanks!
