Domain authority and links
Third-party authority scores can help compare a set of link prospects, but they do not reveal a search engine’s private evaluation. These articles explain why a score should not become the target for a link-building programme.
Review the source, audience, relevance and editorial reason for a link. A high score does not make an unrelated placement useful, and a paid link package does not become sound SEO because a report assigns it a number.
