        @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.

                                      I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

                                      domain authority da

                                      Hey Moz Community, We've noticed that there are questions about Domain Authority, what it is, and how to positively impact it. We're here to answer your questions! For a full overview, please see our help hub article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority First, it's important to keep in mind that Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). It is not a Google ranking factor. Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking. Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations. For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one. The best way to influence your DA is to improve your overall site health with a focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site. Check out this video for more details on how to impact DA Happy analyzing!

                                      I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.

                                      Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer.

                                      How you do guest posting on behalf of your clients? What do you use in the author bio - your name, client's name or a fake name?

                                      I would like to hear from SEO agencies or link building teams - how you manage guest posting on behalf of your clients? 1. What is your outreach process - Do you pitch as a marketing manager or as a subject expert? 2. What do you mention in your author bio? Your name and your bio as outreach manager/ marketing manager? Your client's name and client's bio? A fake name - as a subject expertise? 3. Which email ID and contact details you use? - Your work ID/ client's ID/ Fake Gmail ID? I work for an SEO agency and I am interested in content and SEO related blog posts. But, I have many clients in the home improvement, real estate, food, fashion and other industries. I don't feel right to use my name when posting a guest blog on their behalf. What you guys prefer? Any thoughts?

                                      Redirects affect on page and domain authority

                                      Hi - excuse me if this is stupid question but I'm rather new to this. Currently the PA for the home page is 16 and the DA 28 and I have some concerns that my efforts are being diluted. When I use OSE on www.sassandgrace.co.uk I get different link results to sassandgrace.co.uk but there is a redirect in place to sassandgrace.co.uk and cannot run a crawl report, for example, on www.sassandgrace.co.uk. The PA and DA are identical for each but the number of links different With a smallish number of links pointing to each but with a redirect in place, am I losing some of the effect or is having the redirect in place giving me all the credit for links to both addresses? Thanks

                                      DA vs PA when building links

                                      When building links to your site from other sites, what is more important or what weights more heavily? Say a site has a DA of 20 and PA of 34 for that page I want a link from. Say another site has the revese, a DA of 34 and a PA of 20. All things being equal, which site's link to me would be better? The one with a higher DA or the one with a higher PA for the on the specific page I would get a link?
