Struggling to Improve My Website’s DA – Need Advice!

Hey everyone,


I've been working on my website's Domain Authority (DA) for a while, but it’s not improving. Here’s what I’ve done so far:


Blog Comments – Built backlinks through relevant blog comments.
Content Optimization – Ensured high-quality, SEO-friendly content.
Business Listings – Listed my site in local and niche directories.
Profile Backlinks – Created profiles with backlinks on authoritative sites.


Despite all these efforts, my DA is stuck and not increasing. What else should I do to improve it? Any expert tips or overlooked strategies that could help?

content has nothing to do with DA, it's only the backlinks that can increase the DA, and only the good backlinks.... although, you can artificially inflate the DA to 50 just by using some google redirects, but this doesn't help you rank as - weirdly enough - google doesn't value these redirects enough to give them ranking power...

And blog comments and profile links also have no ranking power, so I wouldn't bother with those either... I mean, get them to diversify your backlinking profile, just don't expect authority increase and / or rankings from them

Last but not least, DA is a bogus metric invented by MOZ, I am pretty sure that google doesn't give a rat's ass about the DA of websites. I mean, google does favor sites with high authority in the SERPs, but the way in which google assesses authority and the way in which MOZ assesses authority are different, so if you see sites with high DA ranking in google it's more of a coincidence than a blueprint...

Anyway, don't bother with increasing the DA, focus on making stellar content and acquiring quality links, and the (real) authority of your site will increase gradually, which is much more important than the fake authority that will get you nowhere

Rent some legit homepage backlinks for 30-60 days and watch the jump

Boost DA by getting steady high-quality backlinks from real, relevant, trustworthy websites.

Focus on earning high-quality backlinks from relevant, authoritative websites; DA heavily weights link authority. Move beyond the tactics you listed and pursue guest posting, digital PR, or creating exceptional "linkable assets" like original research or unique tools that naturally attract links. Also, audit your backlink profile to remove toxic links that may be harming your score.

DA is the most crap metric that is not correlated with organic results i have ever deen in the seo history

Totally agree, DA alone doesn’t mean much. Focus on building real, high-quality backlinks and great content instead of chasing the number
