          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:

                Reputable Place For Guest Posts

                seo link building blog post outreach blog post backlinks

                We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

                Should I switch back to my old domain?

                domain analysis domain authority domain migration domain

                I'm looking for some advice on switching domains for my survey/giveaway website.
                I purchased a website that gets around 1,500 in traffic and makes a few hundred in Adsense. The previous owner had rebranded the site and changed the domain which ended up hurting his SEO and traffic. Before that it was getting 10,000 in traffic on the old domain.
                It's been a few years since the rebrand but the original domain still holds a lot of authority and got way more traffic. Should I consider switching the website back to the original domain to try to improve rankings again or should I just focus on the new domain?
                The website now is snipon.com and the previous domain name was surveyh.com
                I'm wondering if switching back to the original domain will still be beneficial or if it will just mess up what's happening now on the rebranded site.

                How to get rid of bad backlinks

                off-page seo seo backlinks spam score

                So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png

                Can Foreign Language Backlinks Be Valuable?

                backlinks link building

                I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? Thanks

                What are the SEO implications of high quality backlinks from US-based websites to UK-based websites?

                Hi everyone, quick question I hope someone could help me with: We're representing a client based in the UK. As part of their overall strategy we've been linkbuilding. At the moment, about 80/90% of the links we've gained come from UK-based sites, with 10/20% coming from US-based websites. The US based websites are very good (think New York Times and genuine, relevant blogs with good readerships). An external search analyst/consultant has contacted the client to say that the US links will be harming the site, because the links are from websites in the US and not the UK. We believe that if 80/90% of the links were from the US this could indeed cause harm as it could indicate to search engines that our client is in the US when it's not (which might compromise their chance of ranking in .co.uk versions of search engines) however because it's only 10/20%, and because the linking sites are very good, we believe that they will getting all of the benefits of the positive metrics without any meaningful negatives. We just wanted to get a few opinions on this to see if people think that we're mistaken, and would be glad to hear any opinions contrary to our own.
