          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),

          1. Will this link provide meaningful/relevant traffic to my site?
          2. 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:

                Why did my Domain Authority drop?

                domain authority link building

                I had an ok domain authority. We focused on building backlinks for our website and it shows that we received a significant number of backlinks. However, today, our DA fell significantly. I don't understand why that happened. Can someone please help me with this situation? Thank you.

                Unsolved Why Did My Site's DA Go Down After Adding New Links?

                domain authority link building website optimization

                Hi Moz Community, I've noticed my website's DA https://clean4u.org fell from 12 to 11 after adding a few links. I thought these were quality links, so I'm puzzled about the drop. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this could happen? Any advice or insight would be great! Thanks!

                PA and DA for Homepage

                page authority domain authority internal linking homepage

                I've been looking at the PA and DA scores for the homepage of websites we have built and have been comparing this to competitors. What I'm finding is that the PA score is always higher than the DA, however on competitors sites the PA is much higher in relation to the DA. What could be the reason for this? For example, some of our website homepages may have PA / DA scores such as the following: Website #1: PA37 DA25 (PA:DA = 1.48)
                Website #2: PA31 DA21 (PA:DA = 1.47) However competitors often have figures like this: Website #3: PA40 DA21 (PA:DA 1.9)
                Website #4: PA 25 DA 11 (PA:DA 2.27) I even saw one website with the following scores: Website #5: PA36 DA5 (PA:DA 7.2) How do you explain such a high Page Authority in relation to the domain authority for that site? When I look at the scores for our websites I often feel that the DA is at a good level, but the PA for the homepage doesn't seem as high as it could be compared to competitors. My initial thought was that maybe we had a lot of backlinks to other pages on the website (not the homepage) but this is not the case at all - pretty much all our backlinks are to the homepage. Could it be to do with internal linking structure? Any other ideas? Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

                Should we BackLink to Guest Post ?

                Hi, I have been actively doing guest blogging for last few weeks . But the page authority , moz Rank and moz Trust of my guest posts appear 0 as those posts have their own pages on blogs  with snippets of posts on home page.  I wanted to ask if i should backlink to my guest posts to increase the authority, mR and mT of pages. Those posts are already appearing as backlinks in webmaster tools but if i backlink to my posts to increase mR and mT, then will it also increase the juice passed by backlinks in those posts to landing pages on my site ? Thanks,
