What is DA and how I can improve it ?

DA means Domain Authority. This can be increased is High Domain Authority websites link back to your site. Thanks

It is a metric created by Moz which is mostly based on the links pointing to your site within their link database.

There is no need to focus on improving it.

DA (Domain Authority) is a website metric created by Moz. Domain authority is based on a lot of factors. like how many backward links are pointing to your website and how authoritative those sites are.

DA and PA are worthless. Forget them. Look at traffic.

It means it is all related to back links. I have also heard that "domain age" is also a measuring factor regarding DA .

DA means Domain Authority. Domain authority is based on a lot of factors, like your domain age, how many backlinks are pointing to your website and how authoritative those sites are. You can increased DA by backlinking to High Domain Authority websites.

I'm going to point something out and I suspect I'm going to be nailed for it being all wrong and I don't know what I am talking about but

here is my 2cents on this

I am pushing Domain Authority as a #1 factor to determine if you can win ranking for any keyword

I am not saying this is a ranking factor that Google is using to determine in their Algorithm

what I am pointing out is if you look at Domain Authority across millions and millions of keywords like I have

you will start seeing that if you get a overall average that is higher than your website's DA value the chances of you being able to secure a top 10 position is hard

that is all I am saying

I can see already I am being criticize for this and rightfully so, because it is not a ranking factor that Google actually uses in their algorithm, so don't confuse this with their algorithm

no one actually knows the algorithm not even their scientist they only manage it and add to it

this is AI at it finest and continues to learn on it's own

here is the flip side to this story, I've been developing software since the 80's and my specialty is Search Engine crawlers

I've been looking a very long time for a easy common denominator to know if I can rank for any keyword in Google Search

I really don't care where this comes from I just want to have a way to look at any keyword and know instantly if I have a chance to rank that keyword before I lift a finger to produce content or spend a dime that's it

sometimes answers come from the strangest places and I believe I have a solution that works now

I am an engineer by background and pragmatic about anyone who makes statements about anything without data to backup their beliefs

I say what I say because I have the years and years of data to prove what I say not beliefs

All I ask is that you have an open mind about what I have to say and show

I did not want to blatantly promote but since I think there is a misunderstanding about what I have to say I would recommend you go to my youtube channel and check out my case studies and then come back and comment on my findings

Unless you created your own software like I have to crawl millions and millions of pages in Google search and the same for creating webpages please don't criticize until you have your facts right

DA is‘domain authority’ term which is used by a company called Moz ,the company have a algorithm that analyzed millions of websites and gave each one a score out of 100. This is their domain authority. Usually the Domain Authority rank is calculated by combining few metrics like root domains, number of total links, mozRank, mozTrust and etc.

5 Best Techniques to Increase Domain Authority (DA) of a Website

yes right Addi Alex,
you have to look at the link you suggested

Domain Authority is a type of overall website score given by MOZ to a particular domain.

Check this page and a quick video which explains DA in detail and how you can improve yours: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

Domain authority can only be increased when your website contains high quality content in it and it gets old as well. The more your website gets visitors the more its popularity will increase. By installing SEO Moz tool one can get to know how much DA a website is holding and what its page rank as well instantly.

The key to this thread is Google now ranks websites based on Authority based on the bread crumbs they provide about how they rank websites in their algorithm

Problem is they don't give us any solid clues or actual tools like the page rank tool for you to determine Authority

With this understanding the complete website out weights just a page for ranking these days

This does not give us much to use without lots of manual work in determining this Authority that Google is now using

Fortunately a 3rd party provides a best shot effort at providing an Authority value

Thanks to Moz for providing a best shot effort in determining this value by comparing billions of website URLs against known factors

The issue now is how do you use this Domain Authority to your advantage

As I've tried to explain in several threads knowing the overall DA values for all top ranking sites for a particular keyword aids us to make a quick determination if you have a fighting chance in earning a spot for that keyword

This is only a quick assessment of your competition at a glance

Generally if I see the average value less than 40 go for it

If I see values from 40-60 it is going to require some work

Any values over 60 is very difficult especially if the average value is closer to 100

I am not saying you can't rank for over 60 but it will take lots of effort if you must rank for that keyword

I prefer to flush out the low hanging fruit and aim to find values 40 and less that still have commercial intent

I am in no way saying the DA value is a ranking factor of Google never have

But knowing the quality of your competition using DA is a very quick way to assess this without wasting time we all have too much to do chasing keywords you may never rank for in the top 10

How you improved the quality of your Authority pretty much is keep doing what your doing with quality content and effort and time will hopefully be on your side

What I do find the more I rank for lower end keywords and provide good visitor value I find myself ranking more and more for those harder to rank keywords without directly targeting them

DA is just a quick assessment of your overall competition nothing more and how you use it to your advantage is the bottom line

Hi,

Domain authority is a metric which rating a website on a scale of 1-100, (100 being the best and 1 being the worst). So the higher the domain authority of a website, the higher its ranking in search engines.

Hi,
DA stands for Domain Authority. This can be increased is High Domain Authority sites link back to your site. It means how much you have increase backlinks, then DA will automatically improved

Few steps that could help you to know how DA of any website can be increased:

1. Ensure that your technical SEO is in place
2. Create lots of linkable content
3. Develop strong internal linking
4. Regularly remove toxic backlinks
5. Be patient

Domain aurthority of any website can be improved by following few factors. They are:

1. Earn links from more sites
2. Start marketing your content
3. Not only diversification, you need a clean link profile
4. Build a well-planned internal link structure
5. Write epic content and nothing less than that

Calculated logarithmically, domain authority (DA) is the score given to your domain calculated on the basis of the unique root domain linking back directly to your site.

You could check your domain authority and that of other sites through MOZ bar extensions of which are available for Google Chrome and Firefox etc.

Domain authority of a site is good indicator about its quality and search engine ranking performance and should be taken into consideration if you do link building for SEO.

Increasing the total number of links to your domain originating from unique root domains is the only way to increase DA.

It means that getting more than one links from same domain which is often true in press release submissions, article submission, bookmarking, social sharing and blogs would not help your site increase domain authority. If done persistently it will only harm your site as most of the SEOs found out after Google rolled out Penguin Update.

Domain authority is based on a lot of factors. however, these are link profile factors such as how many backward links are pointing to your website and how authoritative those sites are.
You can improve your DA by
Get rid of bad links.
Gain good links.

Enjoy your levitra DA link profile, lmao.

Why aren't you guys having PA more into account? as opposed to DA...

In my experience, for many keywords, what matters the most is PA... in fact, in the bianual MOZ report on google's algorithms... they put PA way above.

I feel PA and DA are both equally important, THEY NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.

The domain will give your brand an authority within a niche.

Your page will position you in the SERPs...
