Achieving DA 30+ and DR 50+: How long do you think it takes to rank articles?

If you want to write the articles manually, that is up to you, but
it is not necessary, as A.I.-generated content is fine to use.

Google Search's guidance about AI-generated content

That does not mean you should not edit A.I.-generated content,
I ALWAYS edit the output.

I doubt that your guest posting strategy is sound.

Work on developing great content, in a relevant topic that
people are searching for.

If you need tips on how to develop a proper website, you can
use ChatGPT or any of the others, it will tell you exactly what
you need to do. Or you can read a book about it.

There is a process to setting up a website from initial outline
to submitting to search engines. It is better to learn what that
process is instead of winging it and guessing.

Nobody can tell how long it will take for rankings as there are
variables, and you have no control over Moz or Google.

Building DA/DR takes months; AI can help rank, but long-term success depends on quality, thorough editing, and a comprehensive SEO strategy

Since your DA is currently 2, you're at the early stage, so rapid growth is possible in the first few months with strong guest posting, niche edits, and authority backlinks.

AI-generated content can rank, but quality matters. Google prioritizes E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), so human editing is crucial.

Keep an eye on your Google Search Console and Ahrefs/Semrush metrics to track progress.

If I were you, I'd focus on building onsite content.
I'll initially target longtail search terms with competitiveness that's well within my domain's punching weight (DA2, in your case).

Doesn't matter if it's AI, human, programmatic, or any calibrated combination.
I'll implement E-E-A-T and avoid thin, spammy content.
I'll try my best for my content to satisfy immediate user intent and correlated queries.

ONCE those posts begin to slowly climb Google rankings for my target geos and devices, this'll steadily build up the PA of those posts.
Which, in turn, builds up DA.

AND ONCE DA is at a different weight division, I'll target the next set of search terms, many of which are likely to have higher monthly search demand volumes from my target geos and device(s).

I'd put backlink building through guest blogging, PR submissions and other techniques as a secondary priority for the moment.
Not that I won't do anything to build backlinks. Instead, I'll do that liberally, all while focusing on onsite content building.

And once my DA hits a certain threshold (for me, it's DA 10), I'll increase backlink building prioritization a little.

And that goes on every time I hit increments of that threshold.

I hope you find the most suitable strategy for your use case.
Best of luck!

Growing DA from 2 to 30+ and DR to 50+ takes time, maybe a few months. AI content can rank, but it must be high quality and well-edited. Keep making good backlinks with guest posts and Web 2.0 sites. If results are slow, try writing by hand. Stay patient, and you will see progress!

Don't focus on increasing DA or DR because they are vanity metrics at best. Google does not use them to rank a website. Focus on improving the visitor experience/engagement on your website. Write great content, follow best SEO practice and get powerful authority links from relevant websites in your niche. For this, study succesful websites who are crushing on Google right now. Apart from this, have one strong social media presence on any platform of your choice. increase your network, be a valauable cointributor of your community and above all understand that organic growth is a marathon not a sprint. So have patience and keep adding value in your project.

A website's strong reputation can support a high rating if it is responsible for themain cointent of the site. I believe that the golden rule in SEO is that Content is king. High-quality Main Content should be engaging, authentic, and demonstrate effort, skill, or expertise. The highest-quality pages not only serve a clear purpose but do so exceptionally well, standing out in both content quality and credibility.

If you know what you're doing, you could see results within a day of publishing a page. If you do not, you could be nowhere 10 years from now.

The time it takes to rank articles and achieve Domain Authority (DA) 30+ and Domain Rating (DR) 50+ depends on several factors, including your niche, backlink strategy, content quality, and competition. Here's a general breakdown:

Timeframe for DA 30+ and DR 50+:
DA 30+ â†' 4 to 12 months (if you actively build quality backlinks, publish high-value content, and get social shares).
DR 50+ â†' 1 to 2+ years (requires authoritative backlinks from high-DR sites and consistent content marketing).
Factors That Affect Ranking Speed:
Backlink Profile - High-quality backlinks from authoritative sites can speed up DA/DR growth.
Content Quality - Well-researched, long-form, and user-friendly content ranks faster.
Competition - High-competition niches take longer to rank.
On-Page & Technical SEO - Site speed, mobile-friendliness, and structured data impact ranking.
Consistency - Regular posting and content updates help maintain domain authority.
How Long to Rank Articles?
Low-Competition Keywords â†' 2 to 6 months
Medium-Competition Keywords â†' 6 to 12 months
High-Competition Keywords â†' 12+ months (may require aggressive SEO strategies)
If you consistently publish SEO-optimized content and earn backlinks, you can see early ranking results within 3-6 months, but hitting DR 50+ will take sustained effort.

I think it takes time. For DA 30+, it's doable if your link-building is steady and consistent. You can achieve DR 50+ if you have a solid strategy, this will take time and effort.

Also, I would say, AI is helping me, but as a reader, it has that different feel when an article is written manually. Something like a personal touch that makes it more authentic and engaging, just my thoughts.

So, I am at the same juncture and hope to gain insights as well. I am currently testing to see if posting blog content on my website with references to the postings and conversations I have engaged in on high Domain Authority websites (anything above 50 for now, with idealistically more than 50,000 site visits, and at least 5,000 follow backlinks) will have any affect over the next 12 months. My process involves summarizing 5 posts where I have engaged on other high DA platforms and including very brief summaries of those posts, followed by all the direct URL'S pertaining to those posts pasted at the bottom of my blog content section. I then mark those summaries as H2, or H3 tags as appropriate, include a link at the very bottom of the content section just below all the referenced URL's that links internally back to other content pages in my website, if practical, shorten the URL handle for the blog, if necessary, mark the content as visible in the Shopify platform and publish. The next step is to run the blog URL handle through my Google Console Page's URL Inspection Tool (it will always come back as not in Google--and that is ok). Then I request indexing of the URL and that closes the loop on creating the backlink. It is my understanding it could take several months for Google to appropriately crawl and make the connection to get credit for the backlink. So, this is definitely a marathon and not a race. My goal is to do at least one blog post a week (with the five URL'S and summarized content--hopefully to about 100 different domains) over a year to see if my domain authority score and presence in Google searches increases.
