          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),

          1. Will this link provide meaningful/relevant traffic to my site?
          2. 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:

                Backlinking Strategy

                link building link building whitehat

                I am particularly new to the field of SEO and Backlinking and I have recently started my own blog feel free to have a look (https://thehorseradar.com/). What I wanted to find out is how can I achieve a DA of at least 30. What should be my link-building strategy? & what steps should I take first? With an abundance of overwhelming info available online I have gotten really confused about what would work and what would not. If someone would lay out the steps needed to be taken, I would be extremely grateful! Thank You

                Domain Authority dropped 10 points and I don't know why

                domain authority optimization

                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?

                Unsolved Anyone else finding that the Link Intersection tool is not accurate?

                link building link tracking list link intersect tool

                I ran the Link Intersect tool on my site vs competitor's site. The first 3 domains it tells me the competitor has links from but I do not are: medium.com, behance.net, and moz.com. I thought this was odd because I know for a fact I built profiles with a link on all 3 sites. So, I went to all 3 and found my links on these sites. I also double-checked in the Google search console and they show up there. Am I understanding the tool wrong? Is it really showing me sites we both have vs what I don't have?

                Redirecting dofollow, high-domain-authority links from one site to another: good idea?

                I have two sites that offer help for freelance writers. The first gets almost no search traffic and is very low priority for me. The second is my main priority and gets substantial search traffic. The low-priority site has a significant number of dofollow backlinks from high-domain-authority sites. Is it a good idea to 301 redirect these links to similar/related posts on my high-priority site? Would this potentially boost the SEO of my high-priority site? Thanks for any help!
