What is Domain Authority and why is it important?
Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to greater likelihood of ranking.
Domain Authority is based on data from our Link Explorer web index and uses dozens of factors in its calculations. The actual Domain Authority calculation itself uses a machine learning model to predictively find a "best fit" algorithm that most closely correlates our link data with rankings across thousands of actual search results that we use as standards to scale against.
How is Domain Authority calculated?
Domain Authority is calculated by evaluating multiple factors, including linking root domains and total number of links, into a single DA score. This score can then be used when comparing websites or tracking the "ranking strength" of a website over time. Domain Authority is not a Google ranking factor and has no effect on the SERPs.
Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations. For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one.
What is a good or average Domain Authority score?
Generally speaking, sites with very large numbers of high-quality external links (such as wikipedia.com or google.com) are at the top end of the Domain Authority scale, whereas small businesses and websites with fewer inbound links may have much lower DA scores. A brand-new website will always start with a Domain Authority score of one, and that score will increase as the site earns more and more authoritative backlinks over time.
Because Domain Authority is a predictor of a site's ability to rank within its unique competitive landscape, you shouldn’t choose your target DA in a vacuum. Look at the DA scores for the sites you compete with directly in the SERPs and aim for a higher score than your competitors'. DA is best used as a comparative metric when investigating the sites within your target SERPs that may have more powerful link profiles than you do — your true competitors. Because the metric is relative, there is no such thing as an absolutely "good," "average," or "bad" Domain Authority score; there are only scores that are "good," "average," or "bad" within the context of a particular competitive landscape.
How can I increase my Domain Authority?
The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.
Because Domain Authority aggregates so many pieces of data, it can be difficult to influence directly. This metric is meant to predict how competitive a given site will be in Google search results, and since Google considers so many ranking factors in determining its rankings, a metric that tries to approximate its determinations must incorporate a similar number and complexity of factors.
Why did my Domain Authority change?
Because Domain Authority comprises multiple metrics and calculations, pinpointing the exact cause of a change can be a challenge. If your score has gone up or down, there are many potential influencing factors including things like:
- Your link profile growth hasn't yet been captured in our web index.
- The highest-authority sites experienced substantial link growth, skewing the scaling process.
- You earned links from places that don't contribute to Google rankings.
- We crawled (and included in our index) more or fewer of your linking domains than we had in a previous crawl.
- Your Domain Authority is on the lower end of the scoring spectrum and is thus more impacted by scaling fluctuations.
- Your site was affected by the 2019 implementation of Domain Authority 2.0, which caused a 6% average decrease in DA across all websites due to restructuring and improvements to the way DA is calculated.
The key to understanding Domain Authority fluctuations is recognizing that each domain’s score depends on comparison to other domains all across the DA scale, so that even if a website improves its SEO, its Authority score may not always reflect that.
Domain Authority vs. Page Authority
Whereas Domain Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of entire domains or subdomains, Page Authority measures the strength of individual pages.
