Linking Domain vs Domain authority : Do they related!!!? (Case study)
-
Hi everyone
I just came across a website which I'm working on. As we know DA & PA directly related to each other. I'm building organic links through last year and the result is so odd !
As you see in Pic 1, number of linking domains is naturally increasing. But in Pic 2 DA gets negative impact through this process and decreases!
How are they related anyway? Can anyone helps?

Hi
The two are related, but it may be that the new links you are building are from less authoritative pages, so aren't making any meaningful impact to your DA. Meanwhile some of your older links may be lost over time, causing your overall DA to reduce.

@serikozay Have you checked metrics tools for lost links?
It's possible you might be placing links where they don't belong and they are getting deleted.Can you please provide more information.
What type of links
Where are you placing these links
Are they being naturally obtained or are you manually building them.
Have you checked if they are being changed from dofollow to nofollow?

May I ask exactly what you mean by building organic links?

@serikozay In my point of view, they relate with each other.
Increasing Domain Authority requires the website to increase the number of linking domains and the total number of backlinks. The more domains and total links directed at the website from quality websites, the more likely your domain authority will increase.It's not all about quantity, it's all about quality backlinks under the same niche .
Your domain authority is a reflection of your backlink profile. So, if you want to influence your domain authority or domain rating, you’ll need to start link building from high Domain Authority websites. While some brands may be able to generate press and build these links organically, some will need to utilize guest posting to build their backlink profile.
Thank you.

@serikozay What are the spam score and DA value of the link domains you created?
-
Hello, I had a good look at the related site.
You can see that there are many redirect urls.
You can see that backlinks increased significantly around September 28, 2021. You can see that da also increased after December 2021.
Could the increase in da be due to inbound links coming from spam-free domains?
Please refer to this page site/
For reference, after July 2021, I have not worked on the link myself at all.

How i can Reduce Spam score of my website
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?

Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!0 -
Chat GPT
I want to get your thoughts on Chat GPT for creating articles on my site to drive SEO. Does Google approve of this type of content or not? I seems quite good quality - I suppose a key question also is: is it duplicate content? I have used on Propress website and also on blog sites so need to understand if this will reduce my rankings. Thanks

Odd one - dropping positions but traffic improving
Seem to have a bit of an odd one. For the last few months been running a backlink campaign for a 2/3 year old site, got good positions for some keywords/pages but seems to have plateaued the last 60 days or so with some keywords dropping in position.

The odd thing is traffic seems to be still improving (according to GA and GSC). I am wondering if - have hit a niche ceiling
or rankbrain type thing i.e. google trying to work out what the site should be ranking for and messing with positions.
or because it is just a newish site. Any ideas?2 -
Domain authority of competitor went up drastically
Hello Moz community, I’m following one of my competitors on Moz, and I noticed a huge bump in his domain authority overnight, going from 8 to 53. I figured there must have been a reason for that, so I checked their links overview, and noticed they got tons of new external followed links, followed linking domains and total linking domains (see screenshot 1). I clicked on the external followed links to see what they are, and I saw tons of redirect notices (see screenshot 2). The links are from google: maps.google.co.fr cse.google.co.fr images.google.co.fr And .fr is just an example, they have tons of other cctlds like .it .ca .es… the list goes on (see screenshot 3) Do you know where these redirect notices are from? It may be worth noting that some of these redirect to the http version of his website, while others redirect to the https version. I’m guessing this must be a bug on Moz’s end or some sort of SEO trick, but did his DA really go up that much, and does it positively affect his website or will Google penalize this? Thank you in advance for your answers! f9pZoJ3.png M0Z0s9x.png BNQryzR.png
