              @Shahzaib3244 Do you have any idea on the benefits for DR/DA of having multiple backlinks from the same high DR/DA domain compared to having just 1 backlink from this domain? (I'm currently helping upcoming visual artist Lone Reedtz increasing her site's DR/DA and I'm not sure what advice I should give her on this topic.)

                I'm currently helping an upcoming artist, Lone Reedtz, with her digital presence and I wonder whether getting multiple backlinks from a high DA/DR domain is worth the additional effort compared to getting just 1 backlink from this particular domain. What's your experience with this?

                                Domain Rating (DR), a metric from Ahrefs, evaluates a website's backlink profile, while Domain Authority (DA) from Moz serves a similar purpose. A higher DR or DA suggests a more robust online presence and could lead to improved search engine rankings. Adopting an effective backlink strategy is key to elevating domain authority. For instance, Best Plumber in Vaughan has seen a gradual increase in their DA and DR by consistently applying a solid link-building approach.

                                  DR (Domain Rating) is a metric by Ahrefs that assesses a website's backlink profile. DA (Domain Authority) is a similar metric by Moz. Achieving a higher DR or DA indicates a stronger online presence and the potential for better search engine rankings. By implementing a proper backlink strategy, we will achieve the highest domain authority or dating. Just like DZEE USA, they have implemented a proper link-building strategy, and by doing so, their DA or DR gradually increases.

                                    @dollarpesa Yes, building high-quality backlinks to your website can positively impact its Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA). Backlinks are crucial for search engine algorithms to assess the credibility and authority of a website. However, it's important to focus on acquiring backlinks from reputable and relevant sources rather than pursuing quantity alone. High-quality, authoritative links from trusted websites can contribute significantly to improving DR and DA, ultimately enhancing your website's visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs).

                                      Yes, website link building can positively impact Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA). When reputable websites link to yours, search engines view your site as more credible and authoritative, potentially leading to higher DR and DA scores. Quality links from relevant, authoritative sources are crucial, as they indicate trustworthiness and relevance. However, it's essential to focus on organic and ethical link-building strategies to avoid penalties from search engines. In summary, strategic and high-quality link building can contribute to improved DR and DA by signaling credibility and authority to search engines.

                                        Yes, up to 40%-60% of DA and DR rating is correlated to the ammount and quality of your backlinks. If their dofollow even better. Cheers from madrid

                                          @dollarpesa said in DR rating and DA authority:

                                          DR rating and DA authority can be increased by website link building?

                                          Yes, effective and high-quality website link building can positively impact both Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA), as search engines consider authoritative and relevant backlinks when assessing a site's credibility. However, it's essential to prioritize natural link-building practices and focus on creating valuable content to ensure sustainable and long-term improvements in these metrics.

However, today, our DA fell significantly. I don't understand why that happened. Can someone please help me with this situation? Thank you.

                                            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?

                                            redirect subdomain link building

                                            Hi !
                                            Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly. Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
                                            ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk. There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
                                            Any ideeas would be appreciated.
                                            Thanks in advance!

                                            domain authority link building link building whitehat

                                            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.

                                            Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.

                                            Hi,
                                            I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim

                                            What are he benefits of getting 200+ links from DA 40+ non-relevant websites?

                                            I have a client who has an opportunity to sponsor a prestigious national organisation. In return, they will get 200+ links from the websites of the organisation's members. Most of which are DA 40+.None of the linking sites have any relevance to my client's industry.1) How likely do you think it is that Google will view these as paid links?2) Do you feel that there is potential harm in gaining this many non-relevant links in a short time-frame?3) The client wants me to quantify the ranking benefits of gaining these links and calculate a potential ROI. If that's even possible, how would you go about that?Thanks in advance

                                            Domain Authority and nofollow links?

                                            Hello, I'm wondering, are 'nofollow' links from websites with high domain authority beneficial? Would they boost our own DA? In essence, I'm wondering if there is added value (other than visitors clicking the link) to being linked to by a 'nofollow' link. Thanks!
