Thanks so much for taking the time to read my article. I appreciate your praise and your insightful remarks.

If the domain authority algorithm is faulty, or even dying, count me in as one who has been duped by the SEO powers that be. When I’ve spoken with SEO ‘experts,’ they’ve all mentioned to me the importance of this yardstick. But I, too, am starting to read the contrary opinion – that this metric may not be the be-all, end-all. For example, Google denies using this barometer and Bing may very well not be incorporating it, too.

So where does this leave us? I still believe that the ways to increase domain authority will help with organic ranking, in general. So I’m concentrating on providing worthwhile information, improving the link quality (not quantity), and praying that the ranking powers that be will eventually reward this site. 🙂

I truly appreciate your contribution, Lisa! Thanks again!

Warmest Regards,

Great Post Indeed!

But recently I have heard that, the algorithm used by Moz to calculate Domain Authority is dying and giving many false results. Many bloggers are saying that, blogs Penalized by Google has High Domain Authority.

So, My question is, Is it correct that, DA is dying? or it is just a to keep spammers away from Domain Authority?

I sense your frustration and I completely share it. It appears that we’re following the right protocol (at least on paper), yet our domain authority keeps dropping.

Now I’m not an SEO expert, and I wrote this article as a way to help myself and my visitors achieve important domain authority goals, but it does not appear to be a good idea to “create links in bulk.”

It’s not the quantity of links but the quality that counts the most. I would continue to focus on securing links from related sites that have high domain authority.

Moreover, try to keep a record of all the changes to your site and the links that are constructed between MOZ domain authority score changes. In this way, you may discover what you’re doing that is proving counterproductive (assuming DA goes down).

Here is another thoughtful article that may prove helpful in your higher DA pursuit:

Re: Number of (quality) links to get – Even an SEO master would not even be able to answer your question. So much depends on your niche and the level of competition. In addition, there are a myriad of ranking factors, aside from domain authority.

Continue to do your best (try not to take any shortcuts) and build the site for human visitors. Eventually, Google and the other search engine powers that be will notice and recognize your superior site, rewarding it with a higher rank.

Perhaps it may prove instructive to get a free analysis from a reputable SEO service provider. Perhaps this expert can serve as a bearer of information, providing clues as to the site’s relative poor performance.

I wish you well, and may your site’s DA soon increase.

I have been trying hard to increase domain authority of my blog, but even after working for few months, I haven’t seen any improvements.

So, where I am going wrong? Does I need to create links in bulk to get high Domain Authority?

If yes, then How many links to need to get?

I am not sure what to do.

looking for quick response.
