Domain Authority has a value of 1, why is this?
-
I am having trouble understanding why my Domain Authority has a value of 1. I have already made more than a hundred links to/from my website, though nothing seems to showing in this Link Analysis.
I have attached an image. Also if it helps here is the domain name - http://davincidrivers.com/
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Grazie, Maria

Ciao Maria,
The first link is a no follow so it doesn't count.
bellow a copy paste from the source code
a href="http://www.davincidrivers.com" rel="nofollow">
More then that the url is very "dinamic" probably not even indexed so even if the won't have the no follow attribute it still won't be detected by google.
The same story with the second link:
href="http://www.davincidrivers.com" rel="nofollow">rome airport transfer
So that means with those links or without them is the same => no actual links for your domain.
If all links build are the same - it's not going to help as far as Domain authority.
This is the reason for not having any link love from those links.
Mi dispiace per la notizia
The first steps, easy steps you should do is create a few social accounts for your site: twitter, Facebook, g plus. Add links there. Those even if no followed are counted differently.
Get some links into a few good not spammy directories - pay attention not to go over board and become a spammer - you should read a few guides to stay safe.
Contact a few bloggers in the same industry and request for a link: be nice, don't beg, underline advantages for them to.
Just a few initial ideas - for a quick start.

Can you post a few links that you've build ?
Do you have Web master tool setup for this domain ? Do you see any links showing up there ?
There are no records of the links you've build so far .. with site: command, OSE or majestic...

Thank you for your reply. The website is 4 months old but we have just started adding the links about a week or so ago. Maybe I need to be a bit more patient. ;D

How new is the domain?
If its less than a month old, then you need to allow more time before the crawl will show any results in amy opinion.
5 months down the line for me and some of my linking domains are only just coming through.
Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge could offer some alternate views?

Hello guys. I am having issues with my linking domains. These domains are made outside of my website. I have tried to disavow these links but not able to do it. These are mostly from google redirects links. Here is the```

Why is my domain authority so low?
Hello, a couple of years ago I started publishing on my site more than 10 posts a day of content that no one else had. For this reason, my competitors started paraphrasing my content without giving proper attribution, and they ranked better in Google. That's why I realized that apart from creating content I had to work on my SEO, so I started to get some backlinks, most of them via contests on blogs. I am getting about 1 high quality link from PR2, PR3 or PR4 blogs each week. According to Open Site Explorer, I have 20 root domain links (200 total links). In reality I have more backlinks but they don't show up (they do show up in Ahrefs, about 50 root domains). To my surprise, I only have 15 Domain Authority. This is the most evident example, take a look at this screenshot: http://imgur.com/dFk2rkx My website is on the far left, two of my competitors on the right. As you can see I win every category except total links and the most important, domain authority. Are total links that important for Domain authority, even if 99% are internal? By the way, I also have more posts than these guys, I don't know why the report says otherwise. Why is the site on the right ranking so high? The same thing happens with the rest of my competitors, they have a lot of low quality links from "lists of domain sites" and in general a lot of very spammy links. According to what I have been reading, my good quality links should be more helpful than my competitors' spammy links, which should in fact affect them. So what is going on? I have no idea if I'm doing things right. Why is my domain authority so low? Thanks for your help. dFk2rkx

When buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? OSE not showing links
when buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? Sometimes the open site explorer doesn't show any links to the domain, especially if the domain is parked. Obviously a domain for sale with 1000 domains linking to it has lots of SEO Value right? Thanks mozzers!

Is there any link building value to design showcase websites?
I am interested to hear people's opinions on this. We are launching a microsite that is for branding purposes only, no real SEO strategy beyond optimizing for branded terms on it. However the design of the site is strong in my opinion. I think it could get picked up by "sites of the day" websites, showcases, galleries, etc. Would there be SEO benefit of in being featured on those sites since they tend to be curated lists of only the best sites and therefore editorial links? Or is there danger of those not being seen as quality links that could get you into trouble?

Building backlinks on sub-pages instead of main page(rood-domain)
Hey Mozzers! I am facing a problem and I need advice. I have recently opened my new website, which purpose is to offer quality articles, optimized for SEO. The problem is that I cannot find the right keyword to use for the main(root) domain (http://xxxxxx.org) as it is consisting of many niches. Is it a good idea to build backlinks on pages (http://xxxxxx.org/the-keyword-for-ranking) instead of building them on my root-domain? So basically, my root-domain will have less backlinks than my pages inside? Please give me some advice and way to act with. Thank you

Is it safe to do a lot of links to a new post on an old domain?
Hi, I was wondering as far as being aggressive in link building can you add a lot of links to a new post on an aged domain? How many would you say is too much for the new pages if the over all domain has about 40k links? I am just wondering of a safe round about number monthly that can be done although I do realize this is site specific. I would trust your best guess. Thanks, ~JImmy
