DA is a score created by Moz to predict website rankings on search engine results pages (SERPs). Scores range from 1-100, with higher scores indicating a higher chance of a good ranking. There are many major factors that go into determining a DA score including the number of high-quality backlinks, quality internal links, the number of unique referring domains, and the overall moz domain authority of said domains. Generally speaking, getting backlinks from websites with high moz domain authority is strongly connected to building your own site’s DA. Google is generally seen as the dominant search engine, meaning its ranking will be one of the most important SEO metrics for any site. Google will use an algorithm or a collection of algorithms to make decisions about its rankings. It’s important to note that DA is not used as a direct metric to determine their SERPs.
