      HI Moz Community,

      I have a little issue about my site DA. My site has more than 100 strong backlinks but still my Domain authority is less than 20 But on the other hand Ahrefs show my site Domain rating is 30+. So i have a question is how can I increase my site Domain authority?

        I understand your concern. Domain Authority (DA) and Domain Rating (DR) are different metrics, and they can change at different paces. While a high DR is a positive indicator, it doesn't guarantee an immediate increase in DA. Keep focusing on high-quality content and backlinks, and over time, you'll likely see your DA improve. Patience and consistency are key in the world of SEO. 👍 😘

            I am facing the same issue on my site I think we can make more high-authority links to increase our site's DA. Because backlinks are most important to increase site DA

              @jiouereniou mostly Ahref Picks backlinks status within few days but Moz takes time So when the moz picked the backlinks which has huge DA then surly your site DA increase automatically, Like I have not implemented any strong off-page for my website, I just done branding last months ago, and My site OEM Olehana that has only 11 DA.

                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?

                DA vs PA when building links

                When building links to your site from other sites, what is more important or what weights more heavily? Say a site has a DA of 20 and PA of 34 for that page I want a link from. Say another site has the revese, a DA of 34 and a PA of 20. All things being equal, which site's link to me would be better? The one with a higher DA or the one with a higher PA for the on the specific page I would get a link?

                Does it hurt your site to syndicate content on other sites?

                Does publishing an article from your site on other sites hurt your site if you require a link back to your site? If website B, C, and D publish an article found site A, but they link back to site A, does that hurt or help site A?

                SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?

                Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site?  Has anyone  experienced problems doing this?

                When looking at my site in open site explorer the top results are very dodgy spam and porn sites backlinking to us. Is this having a negative impact on our site?

                When using open site explorer to check out who is linking to us I was surprised that the top results are spam and porn sites.  These are completely irrelevant links.  Does this have a negative impact on our site?  What can we do to combat this?
