      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.

                    Unsolved DA dropping after spam attack

                    moz pro da domain authority spam backlink attack spam backlinks

                    Hello. Our DA has dropped from 40 to 28. Why does moz take into account clear spam links. Not all links are created by website owners. Popular websites also see a lot of unknown spam linking. Any solutions to over-ride these issues? It seems very futile to see the DA dropping without any apparent reason or help towards actionable data.

                    Should I switch back to my old domain?

                    domain analysis domain authority domain migration domain

                    I'm looking for some advice on switching domains for my survey/giveaway website.
                    I purchased a website that gets around 1,500 in traffic and makes a few hundred in Adsense. The previous owner had rebranded the site and changed the domain which ended up hurting his SEO and traffic. Before that it was getting 10,000 in traffic on the old domain.
                    It's been a few years since the rebrand but the original domain still holds a lot of authority and got way more traffic. Should I consider switching the website back to the original domain to try to improve rankings again or should I just focus on the new domain?
                    The website now is snipon.com and the previous domain name was surveyh.com
                    I'm wondering if switching back to the original domain will still be beneficial or if it will just mess up what's happening now on the rebranded site.

                    Solved Link tracking list is not working

                    link tracking list domain authority link explorer

                    Hi there
                    Ive been using link tracking list to add links for my website for 2 years now and it always worked the same Way - - > up to 1 week and the links were added to website's portfolio. The problem occurs since 2 months and links placed in link tracking list simply arent being added to website's portfolio. Are there any updates going on in background? Anyone knows something about this issue?

                    Moz tool to estimate a website's organic traffic?

                    Moz has tons of great tools, so I was quite suprised there is nothing similar to Alexa's siteinfo tool, or SimilarWeb's site comparison tool. Am I missing something? Or does such a tool exists at Moz? Or is there a different way of estimating my competitor's traffic? It would be great if Moz would have something like that.

                    Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console

                    I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

                    How does spammy linked site have zero spam score?

                    I came across a law firm site with hundreds of horrible spam links to it. Of the 3330 links, all but 231 links have anchor text that has to do with "jordan 11s for sale". I'm trying to see how useful the moz spam score is, but clearly it's not reliable if this site has a score of zero. Many of the obviously spammy sites linking to it also have low to zero spam scores, although there are plenty in the 5-10 range. (see attached image). I also noticed that many sites were legit sites, but if you look at the source code, there's tons of hidden spam links in the code (e.g., www.chickasawgardens.net) Why would this site have a zero spam score? If you're curious, put it into open site explorer and have a look. It's a law firm based in Pennsylvania, most anchor text has to do with jordan sneakers and most links are foreign: penn-criminallawyers.com Is the spam score too lenient? Is the moz tool unable to find spam links coming from legitimate sites with hidden spam links? DrokMbP

                    Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?

                    Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura
