Need Expert Advice on Improving DA & PA

[Clara@27]

Hi Everyone,

I’m currently working on improving my website’s Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA). Over the past few weeks, I’ve been consistently creating backlinks through blogger submissions, profile creation sites, and social bookmarking platforms. However, I’m not seeing any noticeable improvement in my DA or PA scores.

We suggest focusing on high-quality, genuine engagement over high-volume link building, as authority scores often lag behind and prioritize meaningful contributions. Real growth takes time, so stay patient and keep providing value to your audience.

To improve DA,PA. focus on getting quality backlinks from relevant sites and avoid spam links. Also, publish useful content consistently and maintain good internal linking.
make sure your site is fast, mobile friendly, and technically clean. it takes time but with consistent effort, your website authority will improve.

DA and PA don’t move much from profile or bookmarking links, they usually improve only when you get strong, relevant backlinks from real websites. Consistency plus quality links matters more than volume.

From my experience, improving DA and PA takes time and consistency. You should focus on getting quality backlinks from relevant sites and creating valuable content that attracts links naturally.
Also, work on on-page SEO, internal linking, and keep your site technically strong. With regular effort, you’ll see gradual improvement.

DA and PA are third-party metrics (Moz), not Google ranking factors — so treat them as indicators, not goals.


If you want them to improve naturally:

• Build high-quality, relevant backlinks (not volume)
• Strengthen internal linking to pass authority to key pages
• Improve topical depth within specific clusters
• Remove or noindex thin/low-value pages

Focus on improving rankings and organic visibility first — DA/PA usually follow.


I track page-level keyword movement alongside authority growth in Rankar.ai to see whether link efforts are actually improving rankings, not just metrics. That’s a more reliable way to measure progress.

Hi Clara, don’t be discouraged. What you are experiencing is normal. The main reason you aren’t seeing your DA or PA move is due to the types of links you are building. Moz (the company that developed DA/PA) completely ignores links from profile creation, social bookmarking, and generic blogger submissions. Because anyone or any automated bot can create those links instantly, search algorithms and authority checkers assign almost zero weight to them. In many cases, they just end up in the "spam" bucket.

However, if you want to move the needle on your DA and PA scores, you need to shift from quantity to quality. Based on my experience, try focusing your efforts on these three strategies instead:

Content Assets (Linkable Bait): Instead of pushing links out, pull them in. Write comprehensive, data-driven guides or create free tools related to your niche. People will naturally link to you because they naturally link to high-value resources.

Real Guest Blogging: Reach out to active, established blogs in your industry. Write high-quality articles for them in exchange for an in-content contextual link. Honestly, that will really help because one link from a real, high-DA site is worth more than 500 profile links.

Broken Link Building: Find dead resource links on authority websites using tools like Ahrefs or broken link checkers. Email the site owner, politely point out the broken link, and suggest your content as a replacement. Though, authority metrics update slowly and often take weeks or months to reflect new data but It's worth it.
