DA and NoFollow
-
Hello! Are NoFollow backlinks given any consideration when calculating DA? Cheers!

No, NoFollow backlinks do not directly affect a website's Domain Authority (DA). Domain Authority is based on factors like the quality and relevance of linking domains, but NoFollow links are not included in its calculations.
I have no "do follow or no follow" link to my website Inshot Android Application, what should I do to get high rank? -

I have a question "My website is about an Android Application. It has been published for 2 months now. How should I do SEO to rank my site on SERP, and how much time does it usually take to appear on SERP".

As a Freelance Digital Marketer in Kochi, I believe NoFollow backlinks are typically not given direct consideration when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). It's based on a variety of factors, including the quality and quantity of backlinks, website age, content quality, and more.
NoFollow backlinks are hyperlinks that instruct search engines not to pass authority or PageRank to the linked page. While NoFollow links may not directly contribute to improving a website's DA, they can still have indirect benefits

When Google is checking the quality of a businesses backlinks,, its always good to have a mixture of do-follow and also no-follow links, sure its the do-follow that sends the link equity, yet you still need no follow as well, as these links, can still bring shoppers to your website.
we have a lot of no follow links to our summerhouse construction company, yet we get a lot of sales, from our hundreds of no-follow backlinks.

No, NoFollow backlinks are not directly considered in Domain Authority calculations. DA primarily assesses the quality and quantity of followed (DoFollow) backlinks. However, NoFollow links can still contribute to your overall SEO strategy by diversifying your link profile and potentially driving traffic. Cheers!

@Buzz-s NoFollow backlinks are generally not considered when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA, a metric developed by Moz, primarily assesses the strength and quality of a website's backlink profile. While NoFollow links do not pass link equity directly, they are often viewed as a part of a natural and diverse link profile. However, in the calculation of DA, the focus is predominantly on Follow links, which directly influence a site's ability to rank in search engines.
Keep in mind that NoFollow links still hold value for traffic generation and can indirectly contribute to your site's authority by driving user engagement and potentially leading to more Follow links.
Cheers!

Is it worth buying an entry on Wikipedia-type sites?
Recently I've come across a few websites offering (for a fee) to research, write and publish an entry on the likes of Wikipedia, Citizendium or Wikitia - I thought this might be helpful when it comes to marketing and link building for a brand or individual. Purchasing guest blog posts is a standard way to obtain a high domain authority in-context backlink, but I wondered if purchasing an entry on one of these human edited encyclopedias would be as effective, better or not worth the money? It costs quite a bit more than guest posting and blog outreach, but on the other hand they are authoritative websites that also include backlinks. Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Does a nofollow link from a high DA site count towards trust?
I've been checking out competitors through the 'link intersect function in my Moz account. Many have got nofollow links from high DA websites. I understand that nofollow links do not count count as a backlink, but will they add towards the trust factor?
