@semrtaz - Who cares about DA! It means nothing.

Additionally, MOZ has the worst Authority metric out of all the metrics providers due to issues with manipulation that MOZ refuses to fix.

@stephanyo IDIOT - FAKE DA and MOZ has nothing to do with search engines and it cannot impact rankings, negative or positive.

FOOL

This is part your fault. YOU CANT CHEAT SEARCH ENGINES. You were stupid enough to get fooled by Indian and Pakistani scammers

You need to contact Fiverr. Tell them you have been scammed by abother beggar idiot and tell them to force the beggar scam idiot to remove them

Why Relying on MOZ DA for Website Authority Assessment Is a Mistake

I wanted to share my insights on why I believe relying on MOZ DA (Domain Authority) as a sole measure of website authority is not just flawed, but potentially detrimental to effective decision-making in the realm of SEO and online marketing.

First and foremost, let's address the elephant in the room: MOZ DA often falls short in accurately reflecting the true authority and impact of a website.

It's not uncommon to encounter situations where websites with a DA of 20 outshine others boasting a DA of 50 in terms of real influence and significance.

This discrepancy underscores a fundamental flaw in how MOZ calculates domain authority, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach to evaluating website authority.

Also one of the most significant drawbacks of relying on MOZ DA is its susceptibility to manipulation.
Unscrupulous individuals attempt to artificially inflate a website's DA score through tactics like creating redirect notices. However, such practices don't enhance a domain's actual authority; they merely generate a misleading score that can deceive those relying on MOZ DA for assessing website authority.

I'd also like to emphasize that DA-based link building is, in my opinion, a scam. Putting faith in the DA score as a determinant of link quality is misguided because, frankly speaking, the DA score holds little to no significance.

Its accuracy hovers at a meager 30% most of the time, rendering it unreliable for making informed decisions.

Additionally, it's essential to recognize that many websites actively block the MOZ crawler, resulting in skewed and inaccurate DA scores.

So, what's the alternative? How can we accurately gauge the true authority of a website and make informed decisions regarding link building and SEO strategies?

One approach is to utilize a combination of tools, including MOZ, Ahrefs, SEM Rush, and others. Each tool offers unique insights into a website's backlink profile and authority metrics, providing a more comprehensive view of its true authority.

By merging data from multiple sources, we can mitigate the limitations inherent in relying solely on one tool.

It's also crucial to manually inspect the quality of a website's backlink profile. This requires a discerning eye to identify and weed out spammy links and low-quality redirect notices.

It takes a seasoned professional to accurately assess the true SERP impact of a website beyond superficial metrics like DA.

Blindly trusting MOZ DA for assessing website authority and guiding link building strategies is a risky endeavor.

Instead, it's imperative to adopt a multifaceted approach, leveraging a variety of tools and conducting manual inspections to obtain a more accurate understanding of a website's true authority and influence.

Alright, buckle up because I'm about to unleash a rant that's been brewing for far too long.

Let's talk about those folks who think they can just throw some money at someone and magically boost their MOZ DA score.

Seriously, what planet are these people living on? Do they honestly believe that the MOZ DA score is the be-all and end-all of website authority?

Well, let me burst that bubble for you real quick – it's not!

Today, the MOZ DA tool has become nothing more than a scammers' paradise. It's used to deceive unsuspecting individuals into thinking that their websites are more powerful than they really are because, guess what, the DA score can be faked so easily.

It's like a playground for con artists looking to make a quick buck off the gullible.

Let me make one thing crystal clear: there is only one legitimate way to increase the true authority of a website's domain.

And that's by acquiring natural editorial links from authoritative websites and putting in the hard work to establish topical content authority. There are no shortcuts, no cheat codes – just good old-fashioned hustle.

And here's a reality check for those who are still living in la-la land: Google could not care less about your precious MOZ DA score.

It's not connected in any way to Google's ranking algorithm. So if you're putting all your eggs in the MOZ DA basket and neglecting everything else you should be focusing on, well, I hate to break it to you, but you're doomed to fail.

So, to all the wannabe MOZ DA score manipulators out there, wake up and smell the coffee.

Stop wasting your time and money on shady tactics that will get you nowhere. Focus on building real, meaningful authority for your website through genuine, value-driven strategies. That's the only way to succeed in the long run.

@Wmike said in How To Increase DR/DA Fast(in Month)?:

MOZ DA is a good tool to quickly assess the quality of a domain. The only thing you should look at is the Google links exit links or similar. Such links allow to get high DA fast, but they are totally useless in terms of bringing traffic or search engine ranking. I am sure both MOZ and Google are very well aware of this method and they don't count.

MOZ is a horrible tool for calculating domain authority. Its not even close to how Google see's websites.

Way to many thing DA is the BEST way. I am sorry to say that's totally wrong. MOZ refuse to fix the domain redirect notice issue that allows stupid worthless idiots manipulate DA scores.

The only way to judge the true authority of a website is to inspect the backlink profile manually. Both internally and externally.

Le me give you can an example of why MOZ is the WORST tool for trusting the DA score.

Many DA20 sites will actually be MUCH more powerful than DA50 sites. That's a fact,

@lsdmts <<<Very good and correct answer here. Thank you for providing something positive to this forum.

@SRR123 <<<But you are an idiot

@mohammadrehanseo <<<<<Hello. Well your domain authority is not going to increase if you think SPAMMING Nofollow forums as you have done here will work.

Maybe you focus in real SEO instead of spam.

Idiot.

@Dekhneto said in Ranking keyword and links:

this error is due to google.  my keyword is football  uniform manufacturers.  I have the same problem. it also a website and one more thing i do that i increase the backlink. you can check it.

HELLO Dekhneto - The best way to do this is STOP SPAMMING ANCHOR TEXT in places like this you idiot fool.

@offilery <<<< Hello. The BEST WAY to lower the spam score is to simply STOP SPAMMING and focus on building real links.

It would seem you have no issue and you are only here to SPAM links.

Are you aware that links from the MOZ forum has NO EFFECT on rankings due to being forum nofollow links?

@alick300

Ill give this to you straight up.

It's as simple as this. Spam score is not something Google looks at. For many years now Google's AI is designed to totally ignore bad links. So instead of penalising a site for spammy links they just ignore them.

Why?

Okay check this out.

Google has become a little bit more fair. They have no way of telling if the website owner built the spammy links or if it was some kind of negative SEO attack. So they decided the best thing to do was to just ignore bad links and not take them into consideration.

If you are still concerned about a certain kind of link you can use the Google disavow links tool.

One thing to note when using this tool. Beware. Make sure you know exactly what you are doing with it. You could actually decrease your search engine position if used incorrectly.

Second thing to note. Only use the file upload with this tool once ever 40 days as it make take up to 40 days for Google to crawl your file upon each request. So if you use it on day one and then use it again on day 15 it will reset the time it takes for the disavow file to be crawled again.

There is nothing to worry about in regards to having a high spam score in terms of SERP. It's just a link quality indication.

Hope that clears things up everything for everyone

The problem here is link dilution. The more dofollow links your site gives out. The less powerful your site becomes.

So if you have 100 posts on your site with 4 different dofollow social links on each post. Your site is passing off a passive amount of your own authority and diluting the power of the links that you choose pass authority. Also, when your site is giving off heaps of dofollow links. It does not have as much ranking power. Its best to nofollow all social links on your website if you wish to preserve your own domain authority, SERP and link equity

@craigyt

I personally manually inspect the links and go through them. What site they come from. What the OBL is (How many other links are on the page of the site that are pointing to you) The best way to gauge the quality of a domain is simple manual inspection.

A site can have a DA score of 50. However, a site with a DA score of just 20 can actually be 10 times more powerful!

It takes while to learn the study of self evaluation. You can never rely on metrics alone. They are in no way a direct correlation to the true value of a domain. Just a basic guideline

For example. You might be showing a DA90 link in your backlink profile. However, on checking a few things you may find that the DA90 link is showing in metrics tools, But its not actually INDEXED in Google. Therefore the link is useless and is not part of what the DA metrics are selling you.

Other things may include. Links that may have been totally removed from a page and don't exist at all. However metrics tools still have them showing in there index. Which also gives you false readings and false positives. I have personally seen links remain in metrics tools for over 6 months after they were removed from a website.

Also, Many websites actually have third party link blockers on them so they can cant be crawled by SEO tools. A domain could have an amazing DA90 news site link. Its Indexed in Google but SEO tools are blocked from seeing them

There are so many factors to consider when inspecting a domains backlink profile or true worth. it's also worth your while to check a domain with all the main tools and never rely on just one to get the full picture.

Heavily scrutinise any domain showing between DA50 and DA54
DA 54 is the highest value a MOZ SEO metrics manipulator can push a fake DA score to using a common known metrics hack

I cant sell or provide a service here so all I can say is it best to hire a professional domain metrics evaluator before buying any domain.

@mohammadrehanseo Hello There are two ways you can do this.

1. It takes YEARS and YEARS of hard work, quality content creation and trust building in your niche to build natural domain authority. It is IMPOSSIBLE to reach DA80 in just 1 month. Maybe if you work hard, do all the right things you can reach it in maybe four years.

2. You can hire some scammer fool on Fiverr who will create a fake MOZ score for you while using the massive flaw in the DA metrics tool by creating redirect notices. However, the max MOZ will allow anyone to create this fake score is DA54.

If you are a legitimate person and your post here is not just spam (it probably is) then if your focus on the MOZ DA score is all you are worried about in terms of SEO and ranking then you are doomed to fail.

SEO is not about (DA SCORE) it's about 200 + other "Things"

One last thing. Please don't try to scam people by selling them links of fake DA websites.

@tir17 Google is not actually as smart as some may think in this respect. I tested the concept out on my own site. I had social links built into my site template and not as an addon or a plugin. When I did a link audit for the first time I found my site was passing off thousands of dofollow links off to social media sites and I was truly alarmed. I very rarely allow my site to pass off any of my domain authority so over 95% of my external links I had marked as nofollow. I have a DA40 site with some really good niche link pointing at me however, I was perplexed to find in testing if I actually gave a site a keyword targeted link it has very little effect. So I then nofollowed the thousands of external dofollow links my site was passing off to social media. It was then after a about a period of two weeks the sites I tested with keyword tagreted dofollow links actually jumped. An actual sign my link juice was in fact highly diluted.

@skchad13j Hi. Just a question. Why did you decide to write such a thoughtful and informative answer to this persons question and then spam totally irrelevant anchor text everywhere at the bottom.

I was excited to see someone was actually providing some value here. But then, I reached the bottom to learn this is just another spammer.

@david5675 Of course they are mate. Google does not care about the origin or language of the site you get a link from. They look first at the niche, the topical relevance and the domains overall authority and trust. As most optimisation pros are aware there is over 200 factors the major search engines base there algorithms on. Google automatically translates the content so it makes no difference in respect to the foreign language.

So can they be valuable. The answer is it makes no difference so yes they are. As long as language and topical relevance translates into the same niche and the page has a low OBL at not spammed to death your good to go.

Many foreign language sites have huge SERP impact. This is why I personally like to target some of my outreach to these sites due to the fact some of them are actually interested in getting an English point of view on certain topics. Furthermore, looking back at the 200 factors Googles evaluates a website with. Diversity is one of them.

@Padmagandhini 301s these days carry less then 50% authority to the new domain.

@offilery First thing is first. Stop buying, building or ordering junk links from places like Fiverr, Seoclerks and other freelancers who have no idea what they are doing.

Second of all, don't worry about the 'Spam Score" measurement. In the grand scheme of things, it means next to nothing.

Having an indicated moz scam in the percentage you have advertised wont cause you any harm. Search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo ect ect don't have such a thing as a 'Spam Score". It's only a MOZ guideline that helps us understand the quaity of domains backlink profile.

The SPAM score has zero correlation to your search engine rankings.

Also, These days search engines basically ignore bad link instead of giving you a penalty for them, They wont harm you. (Unless done in a very specific way such as a negative SEO attack) but even those have no effect anymore.

Basically, stop stressingm caring or focusing on your spam score, Your time is better spend writing quality content that attacts quality links.

If you really are that worried about it you can use the Google disavow tool to ask Google to discredit the bad links you specify. However, its worth noting that doing so wont actually change the SS metric measurement.

Ive peronsally has sites linking to me with a MOZ spam score of over 30+ and they give me a great SERP boost. This is again evidence that the SS (Spam Score) means nothing. Its only an indication of what MOZ thinks a crappy link is. However, search engines do,m see and measure things in different ways

There is only threee reasons for having a high MOZ spam score

1. You are buying backlinks from junkyard freelance resellers on freelance platforms

2. You are building trash spammy links yourself

3. A negative SEO attack.

None of the above will actially harm you in 2022

Google, Yahoo, Bing + others have nothing to do with the MOZ scam score. It has zero impact on yout search engine rankings. In regards to SERP, again, it means nothing

One more. The MOZ spam score has no connection with the search engines. Its only one of indication of a domains overall backlink profile quality.

Either, stop worrying about or, or just stop building junk links.

You can use MOZ tools to drill down the crappy links and then export them to a txt file and upload them to the disavowl tool.

The only time the disavowl should really be used is in the case of anchor text overoptimisation. In any other case, be careful how you use it. A link that might show up as bad in seo metrics tools could very well be a link that for some reason or other search engines love!

If you dont know what you are doing. I recommend you dont use it. Just foucs on your website content and media quality.

If you keep your focuss on these things that dont matter (like spam score) your missing out on the things that do matter.

@SDavid088 Don't waste your time. Did you read the very first post (down the bottom) of this page?

Just ignore the spam score and focus and building new quality links.

Google does not count bad links. It totally ignores them. Some of those links that you think might be nad could actually be having a postive effect on your website.
