Hello, when you search the term "buy review", this page is my top 2 or 3 rank

but this page has DA of 3 and just 80 Backlinks.

Where is the trick?

Click to expand...

the trick is that google doesn't give a shit about your DA. Google ranks sites based on their own INTERNAL metrics, not based on a metric invented by MOZ (DA is invented by MOZ in case you didn't know).

So, sites can have 0 DA and still outrank sites with 90 DA if google think that the site with 0 DA addresses the keywords' intent better than a site with 90 DA. This is where the trick is...

People will never understand. Thinking MOZ metrics is something high value.

I think DA does matter. However, in this case, it's more about the keyword. As buying reviews is against Google's policy, bigger sites must be on Google's radar and this might have impacted their reach. This caused smaller sites to go up as Google still does not have much data about them.

As people stated, Google does not necessarily follow that metric. In the last month or so especially, ranking volatility is really high and we are seeing a lot of weird things. Pin pointing the exact google Algo is not easy at all.
