              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:

                    How to handle pre-existing backlinks on new site.

                    backlinks

                    Hi - We built a new site on a URL that had previously been used. We are noticing a lot of spammy backlinks pointing to our current site and ending up on a 404 page. Any recommendations on how to handle this?

                    Chat GPT

                    content development seo link building

                    I want to get your thoughts on Chat GPT for creating articles on my site to drive SEO. Does Google approve of this type of content or not? I seems quite good quality - I suppose a key question also is: is it duplicate content? I have used on Propress website and also on blog sites so need to understand if this will reduce my rankings. Thanks

                    WordPress Sub-directory for SEO

                    wordpress subdirectory domain authority

                    Hi There, I'm working on a WordPress site that includes a premium content blog with approx 900 posts. As part of the project, those 900 posts and other membership functionality will be moved from the main site to another site built specifically for content/membership. Ideally, we want the existing posts to remain on the root domain to avoid a loss in link juice/domain authority. We initially began setting up a WordPress Multisite using the sub-directory option. This allows for the main site to be at www.website.com and the secondary site to be at www.website.com/secondary. Unfortunately, the themes and plugins we need for the platform do not play nicely with WordPress Multisite, so we started seeking a new solution, and, discovered that a second instance of WordPress can be installed in a subdirectory on the server. This would give us the same subdirectory structure while bypassing WordPress Multisite and instead, having two separate single-site installs. Do you foresee any issues with this WordPress subdirectory install? Does Google care/know these are two separate WordPress installs and do we risk losing any link juice/domain authority?

                    Spammy no follow backlinks - what should I do?

                    There is a individual/company that is creating lots of spam sites in my niche. It doesn't seem that they are trying to rank for any keywords, so I'm a little confused as to their purpose, but here's what they're doing. They scrape the top 10 Google results for each keyword and create a page - so if the niche is "widgets", they scrape the top 10 ranked sites for 'widgets', 'blue widgets', 'red widgets', and so on. A 'results' page is created for each keyword, which is linked from a home page. The results page always contains 10 websites - text is the site metadescription or similar. Each website gets a nofollow link back with the page title used as the anchor text. The host sites all have the keyword in the domain name - e.g www.widgetsxyz.com. The sites are thrown together but interestingly have a very crappy but individual logo (like 90's clipart). The host sites all have high DA/PA due to some very extensive link spam pointing to the sites, with very targeted keywords. There is seemingly no purpose to these sites that I can see - no other 'followed' links on the page or site. Whoever is doing this is churning out tens, if not hundreds of these sites. Any ideas what might be going on here, and whether I should be disavowing these sites (even though no follow). The fear is that they could switch the links to do follow, and get all the major players penalised in one fell swoop. ???

                    Backlinks From Scraper Sites - Should I Disavow Them?

                    I'm going through all the links (hopefully) to my website and I've found so many links from site scrapers. For instance: http://www.fzccg.com/cmsteam/dvbbs/boke.asp?zkhod76681.showtopic.148760.html ... which links to my site with anchor text "abercrombie uk How To Change Your Wiper Blades" It is surely not realistic to think that I can contact all the scraper site owners. So what should I do with this kind of links?
