        I would increase the amount of great content and improve the quality of the content that is already in place.  Content is what people link to.  Great content = quality links = high DA.

          Hi - Great question,

          Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics (including general link profile, quality and quantity of links, and more) that each have an impact on this score. It can be difficult to directly influence your DA, but one way to move toward increasing it would be to improve your overall SEO. A good DA score really depends on your competitors within your specific niche.

          A great place to start with that could be to focus on link building! You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource.

          In general, I'd recommend keeping in mind that all of these metrics are relative with respect to the other sites included in our index. The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors. Feel free to give those resources a once over to see if they help clarify some of your questions!

          I hope this helps — if you have any follow up questions, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com

            Why on Domain Overview are there only 4 countries to choose from? I am in NZ and need to check websites that operate businesses in NZ not Canada, US or Australia?

            Domain Authority hasn't recovered since August

            I really need some major advice on this one. Back in September, I asked a question on here as follows: "A client wanted to change their domain name, which we have now done. The site content itself is exactly the same. We put 301 redirect links in so that Google searchers would redirect from the old site to the new one. However Moz then said that it couldn't crawl the old domain because of the redirects and advised creating a brand new campaign for the new domain. We have done this but now Moz says that the domain authority of the new site is 2 (it was 14 on the old domain)." My original question and the answers I got are here: https://moz.com/community/q/new-domain-wipes-out-domain-authority). Generally the responses I got were that we should give Moz time to crawl the new domain and process all the "new" pages. It is now February, ie 6 months after the domain rename, and on Moz the site still has a DA of 2. It seems like 6 months is enough time to wait. We checked all the recommended guides and believe we have done it all correctly. I really don't know what to do now. Can anyone help or have a quick look and work out why this is so bad? Specifics are:
            old domain: https://ryemeadcleaning.co.uk
            new domain: https://ryemeadgroup.co.uk

            New non-www. web address but the domain is the same

            Hi Everyone, we're launching a new WP website that has a non-www. web address.  Old address www.1to1therapy.ca, new address http://1to1therapy.ca.  A re-direct has been created for the www. address.  It appears that this is causing an issue for the Moz page crawler.  It is currently only crawling 1 page.  I will set up a new campaign. BUT As best practice should I set up all new google analytics on http://1to1therapy.ca?  It appears that the analytics are functioning correctly, but I'm unsure if any issues may arise from the change.

            Report time periods & Domain Authority over time

            Hello there. I am evaluating the Moz tools and I have two brief questions. What are the time periods (weekly, monthly, ..) that one can choose to compile reports? Is there a view to show Domain Authority over time? Thanks, Marco

            'Domain Does Not Respond To Web Requests'

            Hi everyone, This seems to be a fairly common query on the Q&A section, but I haven't been able to find a solution by reading through previous threads. When I try to set up an SEOmoz campaign for spryz.co.nz, I get that ol' favourite error message: 'We have detected that the domain spryz.co.nz does not respond to web requests. Using this domain, we will be unable to crawl your site or present accurate SERP information.' The problem isn't being caused by a Robots.txt file, and the site has experienced 99% uptime since it was launched.Traffic stats show that visits are coming through to the site via the search engines, suggesting that it may not be all crawlers that fail to access the site. I've tried to set up this campaign several times throughout the day, since I've read that sometimes Roger goes on the blink, but I've still not been successful. Any suggestions as to why Roger might be unable to crawl my website would be great.
