          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:

                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.

                I am particularly new to the field of SEO and Backlinking and I have recently started my own blog feel free to have a look (https://thehorseradar.com/). What I wanted to find out is how can I achieve a DA of at least 30. What should be my link-building strategy? & what steps should I take first? With an abundance of overwhelming info available online I have gotten really confused about what would work and what would not. If someone would lay out the steps needed to be taken, I would be extremely grateful! Thank You

                Unsolved Why am I not seeing search.yahoo.com in my site's backlink profile?

                link explorer backling issue

                When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool. However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses. Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

                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.
