            If your domain authority (DA) has remained unchanged for an extended period, there could be several reasons behind this. Domain authority is a metric developed by Moz that reflects the overall strength and authority of your website's backlink profile. Here are some common reasons why your DA might not be changing:
            Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program Application form
            Lack of High-Quality Backlinks: To increase your DA, you need to earn high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites in your niche. If you haven't been successful in acquiring such backlinks, your DA may stagnate.

            Infrequent Content Updates: Regularly updating your website with fresh, valuable content can attract more backlinks over time. If you've been publishing content infrequently, it can affect your DA growth.

            Low Link Diversity: Having a diverse range of backlinks from different sources and domains is important for increasing DA. If you have a limited number of backlinks or they are primarily from a few sources, it can hinder DA growth. (Canada PR)

            Historical Low-Quality Backlinks: Low-quality or spammy backlinks from the past can negatively impact your DA. It's important to disavow or remove such harmful links.

            Competitive Niche: In highly competitive niches, it can be challenging to see significant improvements in DA, as other websites are also actively building their authority.

            Algorithm Updates: Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms. These updates can affect how Moz calculates DA. Your DA may remain stable even if your website is performing well if there are algorithm changes that influence how it's measured.

            To improve your DA, consider the following strategies:

            Quality Content: Regularly publish high-quality, informative, and engaging content that attracts natural backlinks.

            Link Building: Actively pursue high-authority backlinks through outreach, guest posting, and partnerships with relevant websites.

            Remove Toxic Backlinks: Audit your backlink profile to identify and disavow or remove low-quality or spammy links.

            Diversify Anchor Text: Use a variety of anchor text when building backlinks to avoid over-optimization.

            Mobile Optimization: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, as mobile-friendliness can influence search engine rankings and, indirectly, your DA.

            Patience: Building domain authority is a long-term process. It may take time to see noticeable changes.

            Remember that domain authority is just one metric, and it's not the only factor that determines the success of your website. Focus on providing value to your audience, optimizing your content for SEO, and building a strong online presence. Over time, improvements in these areas should positively impact your domain authority.

              @ZediAfrica said in It's been 2 years and my Domain authority is not changing:

              @iamshrawan your domain authority is at 58. I think that that's decent enough with the amount of backlinks you have.

              I have a website named as https://yogaclouds.com/ whose DA is 2 so which backlinks strategy is best for this.

                I'd be happy to help! If your domain authority hasn't changed for months and your ranking has even come down despite an increase in the number of links, there are several factors you should consider to improve your domain authority:

                Quality over Quantity: Having a large number of links doesn't necessarily guarantee a higher domain authority. Focus on obtaining high-quality backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites in your niche.
                
                Diversify your Link Profile: Avoid getting too many links from the same source. A diverse and natural link profile with links from various domains will be more beneficial.
                
                Link Relevancy: Ensure that the websites linking to your domain are topically relevant. Links from relevant sources carry more weight in terms of domain authority.
                
                Check for Toxic Links: Perform a backlink audit to identify and disavow any toxic or spammy links that might be negatively impacting your domain authority.
                
                Create High-Quality Content: Producing valuable and shareable content can attract natural backlinks from other websites, positively affecting your domain authority.
                
                Social Media Presence: Engage with your audience on social media platforms, as social signals can indirectly influence domain authority.
                
                User Experience and On-Page SEO: Improve your website's user experience and ensure proper on-page SEO practices, as they can indirectly impact domain authority by increasing organic traffic and user engagement.
                
                Internal Linking: Implement a solid internal linking strategy to distribute authority across your website's pages effectively.
                
                Patience and Consistency: Improving domain authority takes time. Continue working on your SEO efforts consistently and be patient for the results to show.
                
                Monitor Competitors: Keep an eye on your competitors' strategies and see if there are any opportunities to obtain similar high-quality backlinks.
                

                Remember that domain authority is just one of many factors that influence search engine rankings. It's essential to have a holistic approach to SEO and focus on providing value to your audience while adhering to best practices.

                Also, regularly monitor your website's performance, rankings, and backlink profile to stay informed about any changes and adjust your strategy accordingly. SEO is an ongoing process, and staying proactive will help you achieve better results over time.

                        I think SEO experts will advise you better, but I believe your focus is on building a portfolio of backlinks for the homepage. Try diversifying; the other pages, such as the "categories" page, have zero backlinks from what I could notice

                            Unsolved Huge Increase In Internal Links + Domain Authority Tanked

                            internal linking domain authority

                            Hey, I am very concerned about the link metrics I am seeing, really hoping someone can help. In October last year there were a total of 34.7K 'total links' attributed to my E-commerce website . This compared to 41.2k and 213k links attributed to my two main competitors. In November, my website had a forced update due to incompatibility issues my shopping cart version was having with the server on which it is hosted. (I was told by my web developers / hosting company that their server was upgraded.) This update created many problems such as checkout issues, page layout issues, sitemaps not automatically regenerating and the big one - it reverted back to http instead of https. Along with my developers, I spent 2 weeks fixing all of the issues until everything worked correctly and https was reinstated. After initial warnings from Moz, I have not received any critical crawler issues or warnings, big ranking drops etc since November. I was satisfied that all was ok. However, in November my 'total links' jumped to 81.5k and have since continued to balloon. December - 309.1k, January -335k, February - 665k, March - 716k, April - 719k, May - 742k, June - 751k. In the same period (November - June), my external links went from 5.3k - 8.7k. So it appears the huge increase in links are internal. In my latest report it states that 'internal follow links' are up by 8k and 'internal no follow links' are up by 1k. This is insane. I cannot understand why I have so many internal links and why they keep increasing. I maintain the website with updates, blog articles etc but no more than I have in the past several years. Worryingly, once this increase in links started being reported, my Domain Authority has also tanked. In October my DA was 37 (higher than my competitors) and has since dropped as low as 19. It has gone up to 21 this month (still significantly lower than my competitors). I have spent hours researching why this huge increase in internal links could be happening but have got nowhere. If anyone could advise what the issue could be and how I can fix it, I would be eternally grateful. Issues I have discovered along the way that may help with analysis:
                            My site has many 404s (hundreds) - all relate to urls of old images that have been removed from the website. The 'Top Hits' on my website are from blogs (some spammy) to these deleted image urls that return a 404. I don't use any plugins. I do get 'duplicate content' notices as my blog posts archive themselves and generate new urls - as an example - 'blog post name' archived December 2023. It may be the case that the old http urls have been redirected to https but I have no warnings for 'redirect issues' in Moz. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.

                            Redirection of 100 domain to Main domain affects SEO?

                            domain seo redirecting domain

                            Hi guys, An email software vendor managed by a different area of my company redirected 100 domains used for unsolicited email campaigns to my main domain. These domains are very likely to get blacklisted at some point. My SEO tool now is showing me all those domains as "linking" to my main site as do-follow links. The vendor states that this will not affect my main domain/website in any way. I'm highly concerned. I would appreciate your professional opinion about this. Thanks!!

                            Not existing domains linking to my website (spam)

                            Hello, When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform. I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming. When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore) What could cause this and how can i end it?? Thanks for your help! Sander

                            Why doesn't my site show up in Moz Site Explorer

                            I started this website about 2 months ago, www.guyetteroofing.com. I know it still needs a lot of work, but I can't find any information on it on the site explorer tool.
