      Hi,

      I have launch a new website, lorraine on october of 2021 and I have added it to a bunch a local and national directories to improme it local rankings.

      But when I get the domain authority and link data from MOZ it has only ten links and no one of them is from local/national directories.

      I have three questions:

      • Do you know if it is normal that after 9 months DA is 1?
      • Is there any problem with local/national directory links?
      • I dont like buy links like others do but it seems the only way to improve domain authority and rankings.

        1. Fluctuations in domain authority are common, this might be the effect of the bad links got from the directories.
        2. Try to get quality links from the local directories.
        3. You can always build organic do-follow links through guest posting it helps in building your Domain authority.
          If you're willing to do guest posting, I would say use Postifluence. It will make your guest posting work easier by finding the top ranking guest posting sites and it's quite an affordable tool.

          @nkgrg said in Links to my website are wrong:

          inurl:edu/forum/*register

          Very interesting...

          I have this one link directory: https://www.qdq.com/lorraine-1196639

          But If I google it:
          site:qdq.com inurl:lorraine

          698aba54-6f37-45e8-9f9b-a28c86f6b632-image.png

          It seems to not been indexed.

          How can I index this page If it isnt of my property?

          Thanks

              I think it is correct, you have a PA of 16 on your domain with these links, then the DA will increase more slowly no doubt.

                Hi Lorraine,
                I was there where you are right now.
                But now I have gone far away by using some methods

                1. try to submit your sites to high ranking directories, forums etc.
                2. Google this and submit your site manually.
                  inurl:edu/forum/*register

                Hope it helps.

                    How i can Reduce Spam score of my website

                    link building spam score spam backlinks

                    Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?
                    Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
                    What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
                    Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                    seo tactics backlinks link building seo seo expert

                    I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

                    Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links

                    da page authority

                    Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

                    domain authority optimization

                    In my latest site crawl, the domain authority dropped 10 points for no apparent reason. There have been no changes to the site. The only change I have made this month is to block referral spam to the site. My competitors' DAs have stayed the same too. website name: https://knowledgefront.co.uk/ Any ideas?

                    Hi guys, I've been checking a few domains for SEO purposes and it appears that OSE is indexing a lot of links which no longer exist, this has been the case for over 6 months - does OSE cleanse expired links? As I'm sure they will be contributing to authority in the eyes of Moz?

                    Open Site Explorer Recently Discovered Links Question

                    Hey Mozzers, I have a question regarding the Open Site Explorer Recently Discovered Links. I know that I have receive follow link from a few sites that have more DA than my site. I am wondering why it is taking so long for OSE to discover these links? I double checked the sites to make sure that they don't have NOFOLLOW (sorry for the double negative), and the sites have linked to my site for over a month now. Any ideas? I'm not concerned about it because Search Engines have discovered those links. I am just curious why this is, or if it is normal. Cheers!
