        Yes your Domain authority for mentioned url is 3 and page authority is 9 according to MOZ metrics. You have 2 back links from 2 root domains. Moz has provided the awesome tutorial, but tutorial is very lengthy. therefore i am gonna post in short on letstart.us

          Hey there!

          Thanks for reaching out to us!

          That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)
          There's also a video!

          Here's a preview: Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines.

          Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time.
          We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, etc.—into a single score.

          The DA for your site is 3 - you can find it out here: https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/overview?site=https%3A%2F%2Fhelmetbest.com%2F&target=domain

          I hope this helps - feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you have any further questions 🙂

            Unsolved New Moz Bar not working in my domain

            moz bar

            Hello, I have installed the new version of Moz Bar in Google Chrome.
            My problem is that it analyzes all domains except mine: https://elchesemueve.com
            I also can't find my country (Spain) to configure the site.

            Unsolved How Should I Increase DA of my Website?

            increase da

            Google itself has been troubled by ranking factors. On top of that, the https://moz.com/ has worn a new garland of domain authority. It is even more regrettable when a website DA suddenly decreased. As recently on 22nd September, my website's DA was 16. As usual, on September 23, I posted a new informational blog related to QuickBooks antivirus exclusions on my website. The very next day my website DA was decreased. Can anyone who knows SEO help me understand why this always happens specially to me every time? I read the whole forum and all I found out is how my site's DA is decreased.
            Can anyone let us know whether we can increase the Domain Authority of our website only by creating backlinks or there can be some other activities also?

            Is Moz more accurate than Ahrefs ?

            When I check my this website https://joinpakarmy.com.pk/  on Moz it gives me DA 3
            But when I check it out on Ahrefs, it tells me there is no authority for this site.
            So who is more accurate in the result?
            thanks

            Moz Bar doesn't show any data and keeps asking me to log in when actually I'm logged in.

            Hi all, I've been using Moz Bar for years. It ran well until about three weeks ago. It suddenly failed to show the DA and PA of sites that I open after I log in. And it keeps asking me to log in when I did. I tried to uninstall the Mozbar extension and reinstalled it several times. Nothing worked. I also tried to uninstall Chrome and clear the cookies, still, nothing changed. Did anyone experience this? How do you solve it and make it run on the track? Any information will be appreciated.

            Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?

            Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

            Moz Bar Not Showing DA?

            Hello all, This could be something to do with our site or the Moz bar on Chrome, I just need to know which it is so if it is our website we can look into it further. On certain sections of our website the Moz bar doesn't display any Domain Authority, not even zero, the bar just isn't present. These types of pages are php which pull in data through a feed daily. Speaking to an SEO expert they said it could be where the page is being updated so frequently, or it could be something more sinister and technically not quite right. Does anyone have any ideas? Is the Moz bar just not working for these types os pages or is it more likely something to do with my site? Ironically it's these pages which I'm having trouble with that are not showing in SERPs! Thanks! 3Foorka

            Checking Do-follow using Moz Bar

            Does anyone know how to check if a link is a do-follow or no-follow using the Moz bar? I believe there's a function that highlights and color codes the link so as to tell? Can't seem to turn this function on in my Moz Bar settings. Am I missing something completely obvious?

            Is Moz Analytics still available to all MozCon attendees?

            I thought all Mozcon attendees were going to get access to Moz Analytics even after the convention was over. I can't seem to find were to access it from my campaigns manager dashboard and the Analytics landing page says im on queue to get access.
