Unsolved Links to my website are wrong
-
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.
-
- Fluctuations in domain authority are common, this might be the effect of the bad links got from the directories.
- Try to get quality links from the local directories.
- You can always build organic do-follow links through guest posting it helps in building your Domain authority.
If you're willing to do guest posting, I would say use Postifluence. It will make your guest posting work easier by finding the top ranking guest posting sites and it's quite an affordable tool.

Very interesting...
I have this one link directory: https://www.qdq.com/lorraine-1196639
But If I google it:
site:qdq.com inurl:lorraine
It seems to not been indexed.
How can I index this page If it isnt of my property?
Thanks

@agnieszka4n Linked from where?
-
I think it is correct, you have a PA of 16 on your domain with these links, then the DA will increase more slowly no doubt.

@lorraine-es
Hi Lorraine,
I was there where you are right now.
But now I have gone far away by using some methods- try to submit your sites to high ranking directories, forums etc.
- Google this and submit your site manually.
inurl:edu/forum/*register
Hope it helps.

@lorraine-es have you linked directories?

Unsolved Backlinks for all clients
Hi, wondering if the SEO experts within the group could help us. We are looking to create a list, of quality backlinks, that could be built for all clients. I.e Medium.com links, just wondering, where various SEO consultants gain some of their links from. Obviously, quality links, need to be found via Moz Pro and Link Explorer, however, our question here is, where do SEO agencies, gain links from, for all clients?

Is it worth buying an entry on Wikipedia-type sites?
Recently I've come across a few websites offering (for a fee) to research, write and publish an entry on the likes of Wikipedia, Citizendium or Wikitia - I thought this might be helpful when it comes to marketing and link building for a brand or individual. Purchasing guest blog posts is a standard way to obtain a high domain authority in-context backlink, but I wondered if purchasing an entry on one of these human edited encyclopedias would be as effective, better or not worth the money? It costs quite a bit more than guest posting and blog outreach, but on the other hand they are authoritative websites that also include backlinks. Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Footer backlink for/to Web Design Agency
I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

Moz Domain Authority [Megathread]
Hey Moz Community, We've noticed that there are questions about Domain Authority, what it is, and how to positively impact it. We're here to answer your questions! For a full overview, please see our help hub article here: https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/learn/seo/domain-authority First, it's important to keep in mind that Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). It is not a Google ranking factor. Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking. Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations. For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one. The best way to influence your DA is to improve your overall site health with a focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site. Check out this video for more details on how to impact DA Happy analyzing!

Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console
I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

Crawling and Links - Showing Links
Hello I have a campaign in Moz that shows a new site as having no domain authority and no links. The site does have links to it, but they don't show up on OSE. Does Moz count links in the comments section of blogs (or is this counted as social, when the commenting system is one that requires facebook login?) I know blog comments are not great for SEO, I just use them when the post/link is 100% genuinely relevant. The site does have actual links on websites not just comment links, so it isn't showing any type of link. What is the best way to see the links the site has? Thanks!
