          @Shahzaib3244 Do you have any idea on the benefits for DR/DA of having multiple backlinks from the same high DR/DA domain compared to having just 1 backlink from this domain? (I'm currently helping upcoming visual artist Lone Reedtz increasing her site's DR/DA and I'm not sure what advice I should give her on this topic.)

            I'm currently helping an upcoming artist, Lone Reedtz, with her digital presence and I wonder whether getting multiple backlinks from a high DA/DR domain is worth the additional effort compared to getting just 1 backlink from this particular domain. What's your experience with this?

              Looking up to my site, I realize that my DA is rising and falling day by day, its 30 yesterday and 12 Now. What's this problem? My site is on Car Racing & Simulation Game.

                            Domain Rating (DR), a metric from Ahrefs, evaluates a website's backlink profile, while Domain Authority (DA) from Moz serves a similar purpose. A higher DR or DA suggests a more robust online presence and could lead to improved search engine rankings. Adopting an effective backlink strategy is key to elevating domain authority. For instance, Best Plumber in Vaughan has seen a gradual increase in their DA and DR by consistently applying a solid link-building approach.

                              DR (Domain Rating) is a metric by Ahrefs that assesses a website's backlink profile. DA (Domain Authority) is a similar metric by Moz. Achieving a higher DR or DA indicates a stronger online presence and the potential for better search engine rankings. By implementing a proper backlink strategy, we will achieve the highest domain authority or dating. Just like DZEE USA, they have implemented a proper link-building strategy, and by doing so, their DA or DR gradually increases.

                                @dollarpesa Yes, building high-quality backlinks to your website can positively impact its Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA). Backlinks are crucial for search engine algorithms to assess the credibility and authority of a website. However, it's important to focus on acquiring backlinks from reputable and relevant sources rather than pursuing quantity alone. High-quality, authoritative links from trusted websites can contribute significantly to improving DR and DA, ultimately enhancing your website's visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs).

                                  Yes, website link building can positively impact Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA). When reputable websites link to yours, search engines view your site as more credible and authoritative, potentially leading to higher DR and DA scores. Quality links from relevant, authoritative sources are crucial, as they indicate trustworthiness and relevance. However, it's essential to focus on organic and ethical link-building strategies to avoid penalties from search engines. In summary, strategic and high-quality link building can contribute to improved DR and DA by signaling credibility and authority to search engines.

                                    Yes, up to 40%-60% of DA and DR rating is correlated to the ammount and quality of your backlinks. If their dofollow even better. Cheers from madrid

                                      @dollarpesa said in DR rating and DA authority:

                                      DR rating and DA authority can be increased by website link building?

                                      Yes, effective and high-quality website link building can positively impact both Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA), as search engines consider authoritative and relevant backlinks when assessing a site's credibility. However, it's essential to prioritize natural link-building practices and focus on creating valuable content to ensure sustainable and long-term improvements in these metrics.

                                        slug Link redirect to subdomain?

                                        redirect subdomain link building

                                        Hi !
                                        Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly. Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
                                        ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk. There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
                                        Any ideeas would be appreciated.
                                        Thanks in advance!

                                        My site DA did not increase even I built huge high-quality backlinks

                                        domain authority link building link explorer

                                        I have created a lot of high DA backlinks for my website for 3 months. But the DA of my site is still less than 40 and it has not changed for 2 months. Why does my site DA stop increasing as I build huge backlinks? How and when Moz will update the DA score? Are there any other ways to increase DA? My site: CouponBirds

                                        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?

                                        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

                                        How many links with page authority to beat competition if we already score 62

                                        How many links with page authority do I need to beat or get closer to competitor with page score 78 and domain authority score 72, if we already score 68 on page and 62 domain authority. This is in one of many beauty product markets. I ask because there is a company offering me for $80 each 10 links with higher than 70 page score (up to 80) and higher than 74 domain score (up to 86). All the other factors: number of links and social are almost the same for our website and the competitor's
