For those that don't know, MOZ appear to dish out the goodies in terms of 'your worth' in the world of Domain Authority

you can check yours here

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/

I am 27 on the blog side and 29 on the forum side lol - shows a major flow on the authority of the whole domain.

Yea this is so messed up.

I was 28. Fine.

Went down to 26. Fine.

Now different sites are showing different things, even using the moz addon is showing different things for me and someone else.

So who knows.

I have 12, 12 and 15 on the DA, depending on the URL. How do I make them redirect to the one page so that I can just look at one result and it will be correct?

Seems that DA is just a big headache. I don't make tons from my blog, but I'm good without that tbh, so I'm not that fussed, however nice to see a raise.

Nevermind - seems the redirect has all happened now.

Unfortunately my spam score is 5!! Hmm. Something else to think about.

Is this on a new blog Chammy? I think mine took nearly 3 months before it got picked up and calculated by Moz.

Yeah, that's good to know that it might still be too soon for results so I'll see how it is next month :D

indeed

I still think DA is about getting high ranking sites to link to you so many offering to do guest posts on sites in your niche would benefit you in a few months time.

So...I don't have much time for makemoneywithoutajob.com (which is a shame because it earns me more Adsense revenue than FATH) BUTTTT the DA there is 25. I work on FATH every single day and it is 27! Hm

For those of you comparing your DA over time, it's worth reading about what DA actually is:

https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

It's effectively Moz's informed guess at how well your site will rank. It takes into account three broad things: the signals that your site give out, what others in your niche are doing and what Google is looking for.

As you can only ever control 1 of the 3 sets of things, your DA will fluctuate over time and you'll be very hard pressed to figure out why.

DA can still be useful, as the page I linked to suggests, as a way of comparing your site to competing sites, but it's not really worth looking to 'improve' it, as such, as so little of it is under your control.

Rather than focus on these rather abstract metrics I'd suggest writing more content that's relevant to what your intended audience, optimise your site's performance (speed), optimising on-page content for key words (make good use of headings, titles, alt attributes and so on) and promoting your site.

Do this and the DA should look after itself :)

I think it is worth trying to improve. The reason for that is because sponsored post opportunities are usually given out based on your DA (ie they want someone with 25+ or something)

Definitely. I am finding since using Disqus for comments I am ranking better. :)
Think the CommentLuv thing was having a negative impact as that means more links so can look a bit spammy as far as MOZ goes.
So just one improvement and it has already made a difference. :)

cash2bfree.com has a spam score of 5. I know this as I saw it on my MOZ metrics today when I was trying to find out what was affecting my spam score. (It wasn't that - but I was looking through the links). If you look in the search box before you type it says to put your url as http://mysite.com (without the www) and I imagine that is what most companies do.

What was your DA increase please when you moved from CommentLuv to Disqus? I didn't think those links would matter - as they are no follow links.
