              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:

                    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.

                    Total Exact Match Anchor Text Percentage or a Few High Quality Exact Match Backlinks, which is better?

                    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to rank a web page for a competitive regional search term. Upon inspecting all the competitors’ backlinks they appear to using an overly high exact match anchor text to rank on the first page for this keyword. Somewhere in the region of 15 – 55% exact match anchor text. So the question is what does big G provide a heavier weighting for, A.)  The total percentage of exact match anchor text for all your backlinks, until it reaches the point of over optimization. A higher percentage up to about 60% will help you rank in the top 3. Meaning I should change a 1,000+ backlinks on multiple domains to the exact match anchor text. B.)  Or just a few backlinks with the exact match anchor text but from really high quality domains with a ‘Majestic SEO’ Trust and Citation Flow above 40. Any help would be appreciated, exact match anchor text is meant not to work but it still does.

                    Web Designers and SEOs using backlinks from client sites

                    What are your thoughts on SEOs and web designers putting their own links in the footers of client sites. For the sake of argument, lets assume that the client is happy for the link to be there. I'm referring to the SEO merits of the link being there from an 'irrelevant' website. My belief is that this goes against what Google is looking for and that these are irrelevant links and likely to be picked up and penalised.  That's what I believe! However, I see lots of sites offering SEO services that have dofollow links from their client sites, using exact match anchor text and they are all ranking highly. Is it just a matter of time before Google sniffs them out and penalises them for it?  Or should I be going through my client sites and adding myself a dofollow link in the footer? (with their permission of course). The highest ranking sites in any UK city do this.  If you search SEO Manchester, SEO Leeds etc and find the top ranking sites and check them out on opensite explorer, they are all using a disproportionate amount of dofollow backlinks form client sites.
