Why would you want to do that? Page Authority and Domain Authority do not bring traffic or rankings.

You're wasting your time and focusing on dumb stuff.

Make the content on the page better than anyone else's.

the keyword is ranked #15 without backlink .... but now the ranking is not increasing that's why I am thinking to increase backlinks to increase Page authority .

Hi,

To have a direct influence of PA is very difficult. As stated my Moz

"Unlike other SEO metrics, Page Authority is difficult to influence directly. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics that each have an impact on this score. This was done intentionally; this metric is meant to approximate how competitive a given site is in Google.com. Since Google takes a lot of factors into account, a metric that tries to calculate it must incorporate a lot of factors, as well."

You need to remember,

That Google has over 200 ranking factors which all correspond to each other. Many of them are hidden well some are visible like high quality content, site loading, etc. It's going to be hard for you to increase PA without having to influence another metric. I would leave it alone and focus on your end goal or whatever you are trying to accomplish.

You can never go wrong with providing the best content and advice to your readers and let time and Google do the rest!

Hi,

Can you please clarify your question?

Moz metrics - It's like decommissioning a rogue secret agent that snapped.

Good luck with that.

Hi,

Of course link building works because that's the "root" of Google search algo however they are much smarter in the way they determine what links provide value to another website. For example,

They put much more value on relevance and authority and how it relates to the content you are writing. As mentioned there are too many factors to determine what decreased or increased your rankings or PR. However, a funny thing started to happen when I started writing "high" quality content..people with high authority websites started linking back to me automatically because I provided value and substance. So again, focus on writing awesome content and you won't have a problem with whatever your trying to achieve.

oh gosh, I've been away for a while and it's fun to see Mike Anthony and MikeFriedman debate. I mean that in a good way, fellas

Seo rockzz -- since you asked and I'll just stick to that.... it's easy to influence PA. You can do social bookmarking, article directory submissions, etc. and increase that. However, don't rely on that solely to help you "rank".....

Heres the answer you should have got but didn't from the Moz hate crew.

No metric will cause you to rank. They are all approximations of the quality of link juice. Pagerank coming from google was the most accurate because its their search engine you are trying to rank in but since they no longer update their metrics and have indicated they probably never will again PR has the same weaknesses as any of the others.

If you are just trying to determine the strength of a link then usually anything below a PA DA 20 is pretty weak. Despite what others have said here I analyze hundreds of domains a day and it is VERY rare for a link source to show up with a low DA and a high PR. it pretty good indicator of link strength for multiple organic domains.

Now as has been related but with a heavy handed slant these numbers can be gamed in which case you should always check against other metrics. Mozrank and Majestic as well.

Its not the perfect situation but those that are just crying and whining about DA and PA are not living in the real world. They are trying to hang on out of their great Google love to a metric that is all but dead. Kind of like hanging on to old outdated and retired currency insisting that it has the same value as it did before it was retired.

Feel sorry for them that they wish to live in the past but do not follow their lead. Use Moz and majestic metrics together and you will be fine in determining the quality of the links coming in.

LOL,

WOW! I never got updated on what was going on! I'm happy that a debate is going on because you hear broad feedback. To be honest with you guys, I really don't look at metrics but focus on providing substance. This way I feel it's a WIN-WIN. Creating spammy links isn't going to do me any good going forward. If Google eliminates all metrics and solely relies of "value" then I've done pretty well.

I did an expert post and 12/14 people said a huge shift has been made towards value. These people have been in the industry for 15+ years. As far as PA, DA, PR, etc. Those will all be influenced positively WITH VALUE!

Just my opinion!

Thanks,
