How can i improve my DA?

Hi Mouse
DA is only a metric which MOZ came up with - it doesn't exist outside of MOZ and is only a suggestion of the comparative strength of the domain (or page if it's PA). It's a combination of on-page SEO elements, content and backlinks.
If you create the best possible themed content on every page, including the homepage then this is the first part of increasing DA. Acquiring backlinks from high authority sites, the higher DA the better but even sites with a lower DA can help if they are relevant to your industry and are of good quality. (no follow links can also be tracked by Google so don't just discount them - a balance of 75%/25% is recommended so it doesn't look contrived)
If you are chasing a higher DA because a higher manager has instructed you to ask him/her why! lol It doesn't automatically guarantee more visitors! You might be better setting up a content sharing strategy through blogs and Social Media!

Create backlinks on high authority websites. You should follow the one rule, try to create backlinks on those websites who DA above your website.

My Question How to check why our DA is gradually dropping
Hi everyone, Moz Community, I asking a question here so kind of excited to be part of the community. I hired an SEO firm about three months ago. They have arranged high ranking DA guest posts for my website Bagcottage as well as many other small low DA links. None of these links have any kind of a spam score. However, for the past two months, they have been helping, our website's DA has actually dropped by one point each month. Is this cause for concern? Any thoughts on how I can trace the drop? On a side-note, out of the 700+ keywords that didn't were ranking in the top 50, about 200 of them now are gone compared to last month. I don't know if this is related or not, but something looks awry. By Fazle Wadood Safi fazlewadood1987@gmail.com https://bagcottage.com

Following moz guideliness complety, will it certainly improve keyword rankings, domain authority
Hi! G’day to you. I am Naresh from Dotline Infotech. I’d like to take up couple of concerns to be clarified for my better understanding on Moz tool. Indeed, Moz is a nice SEO tool that helps in improving Search engine optimization comprehensive process. We are moz pro member since a year. Moz has equally bifurcated every SEO activity and rate it according to its own benchmark. I intend to ask a series of concerns; Q1. Moz has page grading system A to F. According to Moz guidelines, if the keywords on the page gets repeated minimum 4 times, Moz consider it as ‘A’ grading (one of Moz metric to evaluating the page). Whereas, Google indicates repetition of same keywords time and again is treated as keyword stuffing. According to me, if keywords are already within the content one or two time and furnishing relevant information, why keywords re-occurrence to be 4 time. Does the repetition of same keywords 4 times will lead to give more valuable information? Just a request to let me share why we should unnecessarily repeat keywords? Q2. As per Google guidelines, only 3 keywords can be placed in title tag and also advisable to use only one h1 tag instead of multiple. Among 3 keywords in title tag, only one main keyword can be used in H1 tag. Moz gives much weight age to that particular keyword placed in H1 tag but rest two keywords does not get any importance. I just like to know if we use three H1 tags within page, will it increase the page grading or not. Q3. Does Moz tool have its own index data or refer to Google’s ones? Q4. Following the Moz guidelines completely, will it be 100% sure all our keyword rankings, page authority, domain authority certainly be improved. Looking forward to hear you soon. Thanks

How come a site with low PR and DA is first on everything?
Hi All, I've encountered a site that has PR3 on most important pages (and less on others but no more on any) and DA according to MOZ in the low 40's however it is first on everything on his niche (many keywords). How is it possible? Since it is possible, what is the importance of these metrics anyhow? Thanks

Why would a site w/lower metrics across the board have the highest DA?
We are competing with other national brands and have a competitor who is NOT a national brand and who does NOT have any metrics ranking higher. With the latest SEOMoz metric update this week, they (hawaiianjewelryshop) now have the highest DA in Link Analysis. Has anyone else experienced this? Can SEOMoz explain this for us, please? It would be great if Matt Peters would respond to this question. The sites in question are: www.nahoku.com
