Why Are DA 90 Sites So Valuable?

DA 90 sites are valuable because they have very strong authority and their backlinks can influence search rankings quickly.

Hey! Domain Authority (DA) is a score made by SEO tools like Moz and not by Google. Google doesn't use it to rank sites. BUT a DA 90 is like a titan of the internet, we are talking about New York Times, Forbes or Nike level. These sites have immense trust and power because they have been around forever and have millions of natural links. That's why a backlink from them is so valuable, it's like a superstar endorsement. Honestly I wouldn't get too hung up on the DA or DR number and it's pretty much impossible for a normal site to reach that giant status. Secondly these metrics are also just a business for the SEO tool companies, the real goal is much simpler, just focus on building a great site with helpful content that naturally earns links, and always avoid shady black hat tactics that get penalized very fast by Google. Build real value and not just a number.

Websites with Domain Authority (DA) 90 are rare because they have earned strong trust and authority with high-quality content and many quality backlinks. Getting backlinks from such sites boosts your SEO a lot because Google trusts them more. Treat it like DA 90 website similar to a well known celebrity/businessman in your town and he mentions your name in public that he knows you (Gives you backlink) Your popularity will also increase.

Sites with DA that high are hard to come by because it takes years of consistent content, backlinks and traffic to earn that kind of authority getting a link from one can really boost credibility.

DA 90 sites are rare because they take years of authority, trust, and high-quality links to build, which is why backlinks from them carry so much ranking power. They’re valuable since Google sees them as highly reputable, making any link from them a strong signal.

DA is useful because it provides a quick and dirty way of distinguishing a site that ought to have higher authority from the rest. It has a sliding scale of reliability, with scores at 50+ generally indicating it has something going for it. The point is not for it to be just like, or "used by Google," it serves the intent of most SEO workers to provide us with a basic indication as to a domain's authority value. DR is a bit better, but it has the same sliding scale limitation. I have seen sites with DA and DR in the 60s or 70s, that have a SEMRush AS score below 20. So take high DA mainly as a decent lead, and go from there.

DA 90 sites are rare because they have huge trust and massive backlinks, so links from them give big SEO power.

DA 90 sites are rare because they’re big, trusted, and have massive backlinks. Getting a link from them helps SEO a lot, so people sell services that can get you a link there.

If you want, I can explain how to safely get backlinks from high-authority sites without getting scammed.
