Domain Authority is a score ranging from 1 to 100 measuring a website’s ranking potential on SERPs.
It indicates SEO health and can be improved through good SEO practices, such as quality backlinks and optimized content.
DA is calculated based on linking root domains, total links, MozRank & MozTrust, and spam score.
Although it's not a direct ranking factor, DA serves as a comparative benchmark and helps track link-building success.
Improving your DA requires efforts like building high-quality backlinks, optimizing internal linking, publishing high-quality content regularly, improving technical SEO, managing spam score, being patient and consistent.
DA follows a logarithmic scale, meaning increasing it from 10 to 20 is easier than raising it from 60 to 70.
Common misconceptions about DA include that DA directly affects rankings and more links automatically improve DA.
Other important metrics to consider are Page Authority and organic traffic.
Regularly auditing your backlinks, avoiding link farms, and linking to reputable sites can boost your DA.
Improving DA is a long-term effort and can take several months of consistent efforts to see significant changes.
