RE: how can i get up my da?
@mdarmanaro said in how can i get up my da?:
Take more and more do follow backlinks and create backlinks on good websites, then your da will definitely increase.
While acquiring quality backlinks from reputable websites can positively impact your Domain Authority (DA), focusing solely on quantity over quality can be counterproductive. It's essential to prioritize relevance and authority of the linking domains rather than just accumulating backlinks.

RE: What is the difference between 301 redirects and backlinks?
@jackwill1234 said in What is the difference between 301 redirects and backlinks?:
Could someone explain the difference between backlinks and 301 redirects for my website, www-homeworkify.live ? I've come across articles suggesting that 301 redirects might not be advantageous for websites, and I'd like to understand more.
Sure! Backlinks are links from other websites to yours, helping to boost your site's authority and visibility in search engine rankings. 301 redirects, on the other hand, permanently direct users and search engines from one URL to another. While backlinks improve your site's reputation, 301 redirects are useful for preserving SEO value when you've changed a URL or merged two websites. Both are valuable tools, but they serve different purposes in optimizing your website's performance.

RE: My website DA is decreasing Day by Day
@Niu843jr said in My website DA is decreasing Day by Day:
A decreasing Domain Authority (DA) can be concerning, but it's important to understand that DA is just one metric among many, and it doesn't always reflect the overall health or success of your website. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:
Quality Content: Ensure that your website consistently produces high-quality, relevant content that provides value to your audience. Content is king, and good content naturally attracts links and improves DA.
Backlink Audit: Conduct a thorough audit of your backlinks to identify any low-quality or spammy links that could be dragging down your DA. Disavow or remove these links to improve your site's link profile.
Link Building Strategy: Develop a proactive link building strategy to acquire high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in your industry. Focus on earning links through guest posting, influencer collaborations, and outreach to relevant websites.
Technical SEO: Pay attention to technical SEO aspects such as site speed, mobile-friendliness, and crawlability. Optimizing these factors can positively impact your website's search engine rankings and DA.
Social Signals: Engage with your audience on social media platforms to increase brand visibility and generate social signals that can indirectly influence your DA.
Patience and Persistence: Remember that improving DA is a gradual process and requires patience and persistence. Keep implementing best practices and monitoring your progress over time.
By focusing on these strategies and consistently working to improve the quality and relevance of your website, you can gradually reverse the trend of decreasing DA and enhance the overall performance of your site.To address decreasing Domain Authority (DA):
Produce high-quality, relevant content.
Audit and remove low-quality backlinks.
Develop a proactive link-building strategy.
Optimize technical SEO aspects.
Engage on social media for brand visibility.
Be patient and persistent in implementation. -
RE: How to check the Domain Age?
@Aamir-124 said in How to check the Domain Age?:
"Calling all cricket website enthusiasts! I'm looking to enhance my cricket website's search engine visibility and provide users with richer information. I've heard about the power of schema markup and its potential benefits. Could someone guide me through the process of adding schema markup to my cricket website built on WordPress? Specifically, how can I utilize schema to highlight match schedules, player profiles, and live scores? Any step-by-step instructions, recommended plugins, or practical tips would be greatly appreciated. Let's hit a six with schema and give our cricket website an extra edge!
To add schema markup to your cricket website on WordPress, follow these steps:
Install a schema markup plugin like "Schema Pro" or "WP SEO Structured Data Schema."
Activate the plugin and navigate to its settings.
Choose the schema types you want to implement, such as Event (for match schedules), Person (for player profiles), and SportsEvent (for live scores).
Configure the plugin settings for each schema type, providing relevant information like match dates, player details, and live score updates.
Save your changes and test the markup using Google's Structured Data Testing Tool to ensure it's properly implemented and recognized by search engines.
Monitor your website's performance and search engine visibility to assess the impact of the schema markup. -
RE: Domain Authority Not Changed?
@peaceforchange00 said in Domain Authority Not Changed?:
The domain authority has not changed for a few months; even I got some high-quality links from authority sites, and Moz has not crawled them yet? Can someone tell me how much time it generally Moz takes to crawl new links for a domain and update DA?
Moz typically updates its index every 3-4 weeks, but the exact time it takes to crawl and update new links can vary. It may take several weeks for new links to be discovered and reflected in the Domain Authority (DA) score.

RE: Advise on the right way to block country specific users but not block Googlebot - and not be seen to be cloaking. Help please!
@MarkCanning said in Advise on the right way to block country specific users but not block Googlebot - and not be seen to be cloaking. Help please!:
Hi,
I am working on the SEO of an online gaming platform - a platform that can only be accessed by people in certain countries, where the games and content are legally allowed.
Example: The games are not allowed in the USA, but they are allowed in Canada.
Present Situation:
Presently when a user from the USA visits the site they get directed to a restricted location page with the following message:
RESTRICTED LOCATION
Due to licensing restrictions, we can't currently offer our services in your location. We're working hard to expand our reach, so stay tuned for updates!
Because USA visitors are blocked Google which primarily (but not always) crawls from the USA is also blocked, so the company webpages are not being crawled and indexed.
Objective / What we want to achieve:
The website will have multiple region and language locations. Some of these will exist as standalone websites and others will exist as folders on the domain. Examples below:
domain.com/en-ca [English Canada]
domain.com/fr-ca [french Canada]
domain.com/es-mx [spanish mexico]
domain.com/pt-br [portugese brazil]
domain.co.in/hi [hindi India]
If a user from USA or another restricted location tries to access our site they should not have access but should get a restricted access message.
However we still want google to be able to access, crawl and index our pages.
Can i suggest how do we do this without getting done for cloaking etc?
Would this approach be ok? (please see below)
We continue to work as the present situation is presently doing, showing visitors from the USA a restricted message.
However rather than redirecting these visitors to a restricted location page, we just black out the page and show them a floating message as if it were a model window.
While Googlebot would be allowed to visit and crawl the website.
I have also read that it would be good to put paywall schema on each webpage to let Google know that we are not cloaking and its a restricted paid page. All public pages are accessible but only if the visitor is from a location that is not restricted
Any feedback and direction that can be given would be greatly appreciated as i am new to this angle of SEO.By blacking out the page for visitors from restricted locations while allowing Googlebot access, you're ensuring compliance without hindering indexing. Implementing paywall schema can further clarify to Google that the restriction is based on licensing rather than cloaking. Just ensure consistent implementation across all restricted pages and adhere to Google's guidelines to avoid any issues.
Looks like your connection to Moz was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
