        Why is domain authority important?
        Well, the bottom line of SEO is more Conversions, Leads and Sales through organic traffic.

        Consider this approach,
        what date did you start this link-building campaign?

        Now, look at what is important, ANALYTICS and CONVERSIONS.
        Google search console:
        What has changed?
        Impressions, CTR or position?
        Gone up or down? Down means you wasted your time, up could mean it worked. If nothing has changed then WHY would your DA change??

        Next Google Analytics:
        Acquisition and conversions.
        Obviously, you would has used UTM structured links to track the performance of your link-building efforts.

        Most important 2 questions to ask yourself (my opinion),

        1. Will this link provide meaningful/relevant traffic to my site?
        2. Would a user who clicks on this link and sent to your website find your content useful relative to what they are looking for on the linking site?

        What I am saying is, just because you have placed a link on a high DA website does not mean it will benefit your website.

        Just a thought

          Sometimes linking to the links that link to you from other pages or blogs you control can increase their domain relivency and then increase their value as backlinks.

          For instance the links below link to a Solar Pool Panel Florida Installer from Orlando. that is a client of ours

          www.10url.com/topics/entertainment

          www.10url.com/story/grapes-on-mars-georgia-winemakers-aiming-high

          www.10url.com/story/white-house-staff-ordered-to-wear-masks

          www.10url.com/label/blake-shelton

          www.10url.com/label/jeremy-clarkson

          Because these domains will now show a backlink from Moz ( a No follow link at that) It will ensure that that page is indexed, and show the relevant context from the post that I am writting about solar pool heating up Back-links through back-link-linking

          This is one small trick you can use to ensure your back-links are indexed and also that they have a little boost of solar powered link-juice

            Hi there! I have a few things to offer here.

            Keep in mind Moz uses their own robots to index the net and does not have the indexing power that Google has. Crawl Budget is a big factor of course. Google has vastly more resources therefore the Moz score cannot be 100% trusted; though it can be utilized as a kind of general way point to help us do our jobs, and it does tend to be relatively accurate if not dead on.

            That brings me to my next point. When getting links you must consider more than just the DA score.

            Is the link truly relevant?
            Does it deliver traffic?
            How your anchor text profile?
            All spammed out with exact match?
            Or are you balancing things naturally using semantic match, phrase match, branded match, generic even is needed in a proper anchor text profile, and others like URL match etc etc.

            I wrote a recent article that you might just like. It touches generally on some Tech SEO/Backlink profile management:

              SEMrush Backlink Damaging SEO?

              I did a test recently with a sponsored article for some of my products, including my most popular product (https://www.spaceanswers.com/sponsored/sponsored-wear-a-piece-of-the-universe-with-the-space-collectives-meteorite-jewellery/) and it just so happens that recently this very product dropped from 2nd position to 51+, I have since managed to restore it to 6th position but I am wondering if this article is damaging my efforts? SEMrush is showing a page score of 4/100 and a trust score of 3/100, which is obviously very low. Is this helping or hurting my SEO?

              Backlinks from the Same Domain (But Different Pages)

              Wayyy back when (in the days of yore) Mr Cutts spelled out in a video that page rank is distributed equally between the external links on the page. If there are two links on a page, each gets passed 50% of the available page rank etc. (Perhaps an oversimplification but bear with me). As a result of this, the company I worked for at the time (this was the dark ages when sidebar homepage links were in vogue) decreed that we would only ever approach a site about a link for a client once, as additional links had little extra SEO Value. Now you could argue that if there are 5 external links, each acquiring 20% of the power, and your site has 2 of those, you are getting 40% of the power, but lets forget the basic math for a minute. I have scoured the web and Mr Cutts' videos and I cannot find the answer to my question: If my site (Site A) has a backlink from SiteB Page 1, and a backlink from SiteB page 2 - does this count as two separate links in the eyes of Google? If the SAME site links out to my site, linking to different pages in different posts, does this give me more SEO benefit? Thanks for your time!

              Should I work with current site or start a new site with more keywords?

              I have been working with my site for some time.  Sadly, I am moving lower and lower in ranking.  I am wondering if I should just transfer my site to a new URL (this time including keywords).  I don't understand the whole disavow link thing.  I hired someone about 2 years ago, when I lost my ranking due to malicious software.  Well, it turns out that, she submitted my link to weird sites that I don't even know what they are.  It is like sites with thousands of websites just listed.  Things have never been half of what they were and I am really just growing frustrated. I understand that having an a URL for awhile is helpful, but I appear to have lost many of my good linking sites. Any thoughts?

              When searching for high quality links, in a niche area such as real estate, does page rank factor into a search or is page / domain authority the most important factor?

              After having employed many different methods for finding good link partners I am now finding it more difficult to reach out and identify good quality links for a niche area such as real estate. Does page rank factor into the search much or is it better to focus on page / domain authority as a major factor?
