I’m curious if the number of backlinks and Domain Authority (DA) / Page Authority (PA) really impact website traffic. Has anyone had any experience or insights on this?

Can it? Sometimes...

Will it? Maybe...

It's not a guarantee of anything, as it's your website CONTENT that matters these days. A couple of good quality, relevant backlinks can help, but too many and you'll do more harm than good.

So, focus on your content first and adding to your site, rather than all that other stuff that comes later anyway.

The simple answer is yes, but it’s not as clear-cut as it seems. To improve your website's search engine rankings and visibility to potential visitors, you need to obtain backlinks from authoritative and reputable sources.

It's important to note that not all backlinks are the same. Links from high-quality, relevant websites carry much more weight than those from low-quality or spammy sites.

Backlinks and DA/PA can have a big impact on your website traffic, but they aren’t everything. Backlinks from high-quality, relevant sites can boost your SEO, helping your site rank higher on search engines, which usually translates to more traffic.

However, it's not just about the quantity of backlinks or having a high DA/PA. It’s really about the quality and relevance of those links. A few strong backlinks from reputable sites can do more for your traffic than hundreds of low-quality ones. So, focus on building relationships and earning links from trusted, relevant sources. That’s what will help you the most in the long run.

If you are getting backlinks from the relevant resources you will definitely get traffic. DA/PA is third party tools and it has nothing to do with your website. You only have to follow search engine guidelines to get ranked in SERPs and produce result. The DA/PA will automatically increases.

Yes, higher DA/PA indicates better SEO health of your website. However, only dofollow links pass link juice, which helps improve the DA and PA of your website.

Yes, backlinks and DA/PA significantly boost website traffic. Backlinks enhance credibility, driving referral traffic, while high DA/PA improves search rankings, increasing visibility. Together, they attract more visitors and establish trust with search engines.

It’s hard to say whether the number of backlinks and their authority (like DA/DR and others) directly affect traffic. There’s a lot of debate on this topic. However, we can confidently say that there is a CORRELATION between the number of links to a website, their authority based on various metrics, and traffic from Google.

Remember, correlation does not equal causation.

Acquiring more high-authority backlinks doesn’t always increase your site’s traffic.

Backlinks and Domain Authority (DA) / Page Authority (PA) significantly impact website traffic. Quality backlinks improve search engine rankings, driving organic visitors. DA and PA measure a site's credibility and ability to rank, but they’re not direct Google ranking factors. Focus on creating valuable content and earning high-quality links rather than obsessing over these metrics alone. Many have seen traffic growth by prioritizing authoritative, relevant links combined with solid on-page SEO strategies.
