Domain Authority
Domain Authority is the metric. PageRank is the reality. Understanding the difference — and building the link graph that drives both — is what separates sites that rank from sites that do not.
LinkDaddy raises your DA through patent-compliant link graph architecture — not shortcuts, not PBNs, not link farms. Real authority from real sources.
Domain Authority is a score from 1 to 100 that predicts how well your website will rank in Google search results. The higher your score, the more Google trusts your domain, and the easier it is to rank for competitive keywords. A new website starts at 0–10. Most local businesses sit between 10–30. To compete in your industry, you typically need to be at 30–50 or higher. Domain Authority is built by getting high-quality links from other trusted websites. The more authoritative the sites linking to you, the faster your score climbs. LinkDaddy's backlink services are specifically designed to build Domain Authority efficiently — using cloud platforms, Google properties, and niche-relevant blogs that carry the highest possible authority transfer.

How LinkDaddy raises your Domain Authority
DA is a logarithmic scale. Moving from DA 10 to DA 20 is relatively easy. Moving from DA 40 to DA 50 requires significantly more high-quality links. Moving from DA 60 to DA 70 requires editorial links from major publications.
LinkDaddy's approach is to build a recursive link graph — a network of high-authority, niche-relevant links that point authority back to your domain in a compounding loop. This is the architecture that Google's Recursive Authority patent (US6285999B1) rewards.
The most efficient path to raising DA is a combination of: (1) a Domain Power Booster campaign for concentrated authority injection, (2) a Google Authority Stack for DA 98 anchor links, and (3) a sustained monthly DoFollow backlink campaign for ongoing compounding.

What is Domain Authority?
Domain Authority (DA) is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine results. It is scored on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 100, based on the quality and quantity of inbound links. Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs' equivalent metric. Both are third-party metrics — not official Google signals — but they correlate strongly with actual ranking performance.
Does Google use Domain Authority as a ranking factor?
No — Domain Authority is a Moz metric, not a Google metric. Google does not use DA directly. However, the underlying factors that drive DA (high-quality inbound links from authoritative sources) are exactly what Google's PageRank algorithm rewards. Raising your DA is a proxy for building the kind of link graph that Google actually rewards.
How do I raise my Domain Authority?
Domain Authority increases when you acquire high-quality, niche-relevant backlinks from authoritative domains. The most effective methods are: (1) earning editorial links from high-DA publications, (2) building a Google Authority Stack using DA 98 Google properties, (3) running a Domain Power Booster campaign with concentrated authority injection, and (4) maintaining a consistent monthly link building cadence.
What is a good Domain Authority score?
DA is relative to your competition. A local business competing in a low-competition niche might rank well with DA 20-30. A national e-commerce site competing for high-volume keywords may need DA 50+. The most important metric is not your absolute DA score — it is your DA relative to the sites you are competing against for your target keywords.
