Domain Authority, what you need to know.

Domain Authority, what you need to know.

What is Domain Authority, and do I need to know it?




A website's domain authority (also referred to as thought leadership) describes its relevance for a specific subject area or industry and how search engines rank websites within that industry.




Domain Authority is a Search Engine Ranking score developed by Moz. This relevance directly impacts its ranking by search engines, trying to assess domain authority through automated analytic algorithms. The relevance of domain authority on website listing in the SERPs of search engines led to the birth of a whole industry of Black Hat SEO providers, trying to forge an increased domain authority. The ranking by major search engines, e.g., Google’s PageRank, is agnostic of specific industry or subject areas and assesses a website in the context of the totality of websites on the Internet. The results on the SERP page set the PageRank in the context of a specific keyword. Even websites with a low PageRank can achieve high visibility in search engines in a less competitive subject area. According to Wikipedia, the highest ranked sites that match specific search words are positioned in the first positions in the SERPs.



Does the Website’s Domain Authority Affect the backlink?




Yes, The domain authority of the website you are setting up the backlink on definitely affects the “rating” in Google's and other search engines' eyes. Higher-ranked DA backlinks will improve your website's domain authority faster.
