Why is domain authority important?
Well, the bottom line of SEO is more Conversions, Leads and Sales through organic traffic.Consider this approach,
what date did you start this link-building campaign?Now, look at what is important, ANALYTICS and CONVERSIONS.
Google search console:
What has changed?
Impressions, CTR or position?
Gone up or down? Down means you wasted your time, up could mean it worked. If nothing has changed then WHY would your DA change??Next Google Analytics:
Acquisition and conversions.
Obviously, you would has used UTM structured links to track the performance of your link-building efforts.Most important 2 questions to ask yourself (my opinion),
- Will this link provide meaningful/relevant traffic to my site?
- Would a user who clicks on this link and sent to your website find your content useful relative to what they are looking for on the linking site?
What I am saying is, just because you have placed a link on a high DA website does not mean it will benefit your website.
Just a thought

Sometimes linking to the links that link to you from other pages or blogs you control can increase their domain relivency and then increase their value as backlinks.
For instance the links below link to a Solar Pool Panel Florida Installer from Orlando. that is a client of ours
www.10url.com/topics/entertainment
www.10url.com/story/grapes-on-mars-georgia-winemakers-aiming-high
www.10url.com/story/white-house-staff-ordered-to-wear-masks
www.10url.com/label/blake-shelton
www.10url.com/label/jeremy-clarkson
Because these domains will now show a backlink from Moz ( a No follow link at that) It will ensure that that page is indexed, and show the relevant context from the post that I am writting about solar pool heating up Back-links through back-link-linking
This is one small trick you can use to ensure your back-links are indexed and also that they have a little boost of solar powered link-juice

Hi there! I have a few things to offer here.
Keep in mind Moz uses their own robots to index the net and does not have the indexing power that Google has. Crawl Budget is a big factor of course. Google has vastly more resources therefore the Moz score cannot be 100% trusted; though it can be utilized as a kind of general way point to help us do our jobs, and it does tend to be relatively accurate if not dead on.
That brings me to my next point. When getting links you must consider more than just the DA score.
Is the link truly relevant?
Does it deliver traffic?
How your anchor text profile?
All spammed out with exact match?
Or are you balancing things naturally using semantic match, phrase match, branded match, generic even is needed in a proper anchor text profile, and others like URL match etc etc.I wrote a recent article that you might just like. It touches generally on some Tech SEO/Backlink profile management:

Domain Authority dropped 10 points and I don't know why
In my latest site crawl, the domain authority dropped 10 points for no apparent reason. There have been no changes to the site. The only change I have made this month is to block referral spam to the site. My competitors' DAs have stayed the same too. website name: https://knowledgefront.co.uk/ Any ideas?

PR1 and PR2 backlinks
We're doing some content marketing. I've heard that it is a good idea to target even PR1 and PR2 sites (small DA sites). I'm concerned about these sites disappearing after a few months, as we've found that losing a backlink can sting a bit and be worse than never having it. Though this isn't as big a deal any more. Anyways, can somebody say when a PR1/PR2 backlink would be appropriate to go after? Some of them would be easy and if it's appropriate I'd like to include them. So far they would only pass our standards if they are Above PR0 Look like a white hat, quality site from the outside Have a clean backlink profile Look like they're going to stick around Successful Social Media Accounts a plus What are you guys' criteria for including these sites? Do you gain value from them?

Should I Use a Backlink Plugin
One of my clients recently asked me if he should use a Wordpress plugin to create backlinks to his website. He mentioned WP-Syndicator as an example. I just redesigned his website and I'd like to ensure that he gets a bit more traffic than he was before. Should I suggest that he purchase/use a Wordpress backlink plugin? If so does anyone know which is the best one? Not sure if it's necessary, but here is the website I'm referring to http://intouchhome.com

Linking strategy between my own sites
Hi, I have one main site, let's call it food.com I also have 10 smaller sites, let's call them mexicanfood.com, indianfood.com, italianfood.com etc food.com is on its own separate dedicated server the 10 smaller sites are all on a shared IP in hostgator I don't want Google to think that I have created the 10 sites for only purpose of creating links to each other. So, would you recommend that all those 10 sites link to each other? or should there be no interlinking within those 10 same IP domains? What about linking from those 10 sites to my main site? How should I structure my own backlinks not to get penalized by Google ?
