Darin got there first! Domain Authority. It is the current metric to judge the effect a site has within the algorithm to rank for its niche.
I don't want to copy Darin's post, I'd recommend the links he's given you. Happy reading

Assuming you are talking about DA from Moz here.
DA stands for Domain Authority and the new version just released. In a way it's a measurement by Moz that gives you perspective on how well the site should rank because of it's authority. Kind of like PageRank from Google but instead it's based on Moz's data pulls.
You can learn all about Domain Authority here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority
And see the update to Domain Authority 2.0 here: https://moz.com/blog/new-domain-authority
Hope this helps

Standard Syntax in robots.txt doesn't prevent Moz bot from crawling
A client is getting many false positive site crawl errors for things like duplicate titles and duplicate content on pages that include /tag/ in the URL. An example is https://needquest.com/place_tag/autism-spectrum-disorder/page/4/ To resolve this we have set up a disallow statement in the robots.txt file that says

Disallow: /page/ For some reason this appears not to work, as the site crawl errors continue to list pages like this. Does anyone understand why that would be and what we need to do to properly disallow crawling these pages?0 -
Why is my DA still only 1 :(
Hello I am tearing my hair out! I re-launched my site www.systemyzed.com over a month ago and have been working hard on getting good backlinks. I even got one from a daily UK newspaper. But my DA is not budging from 1. Is there something fundamental wrong with my site? I have checked the loads speed and its better than average. I have taken off all duplicate content in the re-launch. The mobile optimisation is good. Everything looks good in the Google Search Console (ie. there are no red flags or warnings) my site is fully https. The only that raises our eyebrows is that there are 179,000 links coming to our site from a client site - however we have checked these are no-follow and it appears to be so. I was also prepared to wait a while to see a change in the DA ranking for my new site (because we only relaunched a month) ago however now I am particularly concerned about it as I launched a new client site last night (I am a web designer) and that site has had NO SEO work done on it all, has hardly any words, is slow to load and it definitely does not have any backlinks BUT this site appears to have a DA of 9 already. This does not make any sense to me at all. I am very concerned and confused. Please help. I just want to know that the work I am doing is the right work and that i am not fundamentally undermining myself in some way that I am unaware of. Thank you in advance for your help. Yours,

SSL - green padlock but Moz say there's an 804 error?
Hi, my site has a green padlock and no SSL errors but Moz are reporting an 804 error. I use CloudFlare with fairly complex settings. I've read this thread but it's quite old and I don't understand which parts of it are still valid. I'd love to know whether this can be sorted before I spend hours setting up Moz's features as if they can't crawl my site then I would obviously need to cancel my subscription. Thanks
