          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:

                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?

                Backlinks vs multiple domains

                Hello, Our main website is setup on a .com domain and a .ca is setup as a 301 Permanent redirection to the .com. We just signed up to Majestic and found that we had a bunch of backlink linking to the .ca instead of the .com. My question is, is the SEO juice (for DA) being passed by from the .ca to the .com or I should start contacting those websites to get the backlink changed to .com? Thanks

                Backlink?

                This is probably going to sound like the silliest question ever, but I have to ask. Does an article that requires a subscription to read count as a backlink? Is there any difference in that type of backlink as opposed to one that doesn't require a subscription? Thanks.

                Backlinks from SEOMOZ

                Hi all It seems Google has stepped up the "hunt" for overly SEOed websites. What about having backlinks from SEOMOZ, would that signal to Google that you are involved in SEO and therefor it might hurt your site? Anyone? Thanks in advance Fredrik Ardmar

                Backlinks from PR sites not showing in Open Site Explorer

                Hi, Over the last year I have used a range of different PR sites to post news articles that link back to various pages on my site. However, barely any show up as link backs on Open Site Explorer, neither follow nor nofollow links. Can anyone explain why this is and whether or not the dofollow links count towards SEO if they are not picked up by OSE?

                Any good content sites with good quality links?

                I have some content which is still relevant and interesting but not really suitable for my current websites. I have been thinking of using this on an article site to generate some links back to my sites, but I am wary about this due to Google's targeting of content sites. I currently have good PR's on Squidoo and Hubpages which link back and work quite well. Can anyone suggest any others or any ideas how to use this content for SEO purposes? Is using it for article submissions to get links short sited?
