I agree with Gaston, that setting your goal on a DA target is not the best approach.
I set my goals by deciding what content should be on my website to make it an outstanding resource to my potential clients (for a site that sells products or services) or my potential audience (for an informational site). What content would you need for your site to serve the needs of the visitors you desire to attract?
You can make a very ambitious content list that might take years to produce, or you can take it in stages - by topic. All of my sites were started over ten years ago. One achieved its content goal in two years. The others have a content goal for which the goal posts have been moved outwards every few years. I don't think about DA. I think about the next article to write.

Hi there,
On one hand, I'd advise against only looking to increase Moz's metrics. Keep in mind that they are a private measurement and they are trying to guess what Google's Search Algorithm might consider important to rank a website higher, looking (mostly) at backlinks profiles. You can find more information about Moz's metics here: Link Explorer resources - Moz Help Hub.
On the other hand, for higher rankings there are many things to consider, some of them:
- Creating high quality and engaging content.
- Making sure GoogleBot can crawl and understand your pages' content.
- Focus on answering the user's questions and intents, not just creating content for the bots or for the sake of creating content.
- Engage with users and other publishers to get your content shown, eventually, some links will point back to you.
- A tip: Analize your competitors' rankings and what they are doing to rank higher.
- Another tip: Focus on understanding how and with which terms your potential users/clients are googling. Then create content for those queries, don't forget the 1st point.
Also, there are many more recommendations and more detailed in these resources:

Domain Authority and Page authority for external links. What's the difference in value?
Hi Guys. I understand the difference between page authority and domain authority in terms of how likely that page is to rank. But what about a links from a high DA site, but from a low PA page? We’ve identified a client with extremely high DA (73/100), but their blog page has a PA of 1/100. Would a link from this page be pretty much valueless due to the low PA? Or would it still be quite strong as the DA is so high? Perhaps you could point me to some good reading or Moz post on this topic? Thanks guys. Isaac.

Content Strategy - High Value on Lots of Sites vs. High Value on One Site
Good afternoon Mozzers. I have a discussion based question and I'd be interested to know your thoughts. I currently implement a content strategy where we create a series of high value How-to written articles, relevant to our audience and then work at getting them placed on multiple high value websites. I have just been offered an opportunity with a PR6 domain to create a similar series of content but place it all on their site with links back to ours through a dedicated section. So my question is would I gain more value from small amounts of great content in lots of places vs. a lot of great content in on place? Effectively 1 link from 20 sites vs. 20 links from 1 site.

Exact Domain Match URL
Hello I have a few competitors ranking VERY well for exact keyword match URL. They have a single hosted page, when a customer clicks to buy inventory ir re-directs to there main url. Will google eventually catch on to this? Excellent position, very little backlink/seo work. Is this something that I should also look into for my own site? Thank you!

When good domain names go bad
We have created a website to distribute a niche product. About a year ago, another vendor decided to drop the product and did not renew their domain name. We tried to acquire the domain name, but a cyber squatter picked it up. The old domain name had a few decent back links, and there was probably some value to us with a 301, but the cyber squatter was asking $8,000 and we didn't even bother countering such an absurd figure. The old domain continued to rank reasonably well for one or our search terms, even though it was just one page of spammy links. Well, this week it appears that Google Panda may have finally killed it off. Which brings me to a couple of questions. 1. In addition to a simple Google search, is there a way to determine if Google has killed a domain? 2. Assuming that Google has indeed killed the domain, is there any value in trying to 301 the domain should it ever be released? Best,

Linking to root domain or specific sub-site
Hello, When optimizing for multiple keywords, should I try to get links back to the root domain of the company I work with, or would it be better to link back to sub-sites specific to the keyword I am optimizing for? Does 'getting the root up' help all keywords I work with? Cheers, Mike
