What is a Good Domain Authority Score?
-
I am wondering what is a Good Domain Authority Score? This is my website https://gopaintsprayer.com currently DA and PA are quite high, but the traffic is decreasing, I don't understand the reason, you can help.
Thank you !

I would increase the amount of great content and improve the quality of the content that is already in place. Content is what people link to. Great content = quality links = high DA.

Hi - Great question,
Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics (including general link profile, quality and quantity of links, and more) that each have an impact on this score. It can be difficult to directly influence your DA, but one way to move toward increasing it would be to improve your overall SEO. A good DA score really depends on your competitors within your specific niche.
A great place to start with that could be to focus on link building! You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource.
In general, I'd recommend keeping in mind that all of these metrics are relative with respect to the other sites included in our index. The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors. Feel free to give those resources a once over to see if they help clarify some of your questions!
I hope this helps — if you have any follow up questions, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com

Site with 2 domains - 1 domain SEO opimised & 1 is not. How best to handle crawlers?
Situation: I have a dual domain site:
Getting Started | | DGAU
Domain 1 - www.domain.com is SEO optimised with product pages and should of course be indexed.
Domain 2 - secure.domain.com is not SEO optimised and simply has checkout and payment gateway pages. I've discovered that Moz automatically crawls Domain 2 - the secure.domain.com site and consequently picks up hundreds of errors.
I have put an end to this by adding a robots.txt to stop rogerbot and dotbot (mozs crawlers) from crawling domain 2. This fixes my errors in Moz reports however after doing more research into 'Crawler Control' I figure this might be the best option. My Question: Instead of using robots.txt to stop moz from crawing all of Domain 2 should I use on each page of domain 2? I believe this would then allow moz and google to crawl Domain 2 but also tell them both not to index it.
My understanding is that this would be best, and might even help my overall SEO by telling google not to give any SEO value to the Domain 2 pages?0 -

I am very confused as to the practical implementation of these 2 terms PA and DA. I have a website and i want to rank a particular page. So to rank it at the top, should i have more backlinks of page** or **more backlinks of my Homepage. Does more back links of a particular page improves only PA or (PA & DA) both ?
