So I see DA used as a metric?

[denvercardonations]

....but are there online tools that give a real DA estimate. I had heard of PR as a value, I know DA means domain authority, is this a SEO community thing or a real Google metric?

DA is not a metric used by Google. It is used by Moz and based on their own data, which is a small fraction of the data Google has.

It has zero bearing on your rankings.

Domain Authority or DA comes from MOZ. PA (Page Authority) and DA (Domain Authority) are important factor to elevate your new pages of content get indexed on search engine results page.

No, they are not important at all. They have nothing to do with how search engines see your pages.

 

[ellys]

since Google Pagerank is no more, Webmaster use DA (Domain Authority) as references.

Only the dumb ones do.

Those webmasters are so called self proclaimed SEO experts.

Domain Authority or DA Arises from MOZ.

PA (Page Authority) and DA (Domain Authority) are crucial elements to elevate your new pages of articles have indexed on search engine results page.

I don't think DA, is relevant any more. MOZ removed it, right?

Hi,

As I know DA has no relation along with Google Search Metric because DA only comes from MOZ data collection and therefore, DA doesn't exist any ranking value for Google Search.
