Domain Authority is basically the 'strength' of your website, the higher the number, the more popular and relevant your website is.

Thank you this information.

Post mention ; his calculation prepare with 40 signals. Which signals most important than other ?

 

Domain authority isn't necessarily a major metric you should pay attention to in your keyword research and analysis of competition since it's not even an official Google metric. It just gives helpful insight into a domain's status, health, age and popularity on the web. It doesn't guarantee that the site will do better in SERP.

 

Spot on .. I think age is a much bigger factor than we'd expect too.

 

Well, Domain Authority can be said as the strength of your site !! It can be said as your over all performance in the eyes of search engine ! Well i am sure you can also Google it out for the answer

 

Thank you for all reply!

 

Domain authority is a measure of the power of a domain name and is one of many search engine ranking factors. It is based on three factors: Age, Popularity, and Size.
Domain age is an indicator of trust because it proves to the search engines that the website has longevity. If the website owner has maintained registration of a website consistently and has generated an increase in traffic to that domain over time, the search engines conclude that it must serve a purpose and be a trusted source.
Domain popularity is measured in part by the number of inbound links from quality sites . Inbound links to a domain are a signal that that website has useful information . A white hat SEO link building campaign is so important. Tactics such as blogging and blog commenting, press release distribution, directory and profile submission, article marketing, and social media help to build inbound links to a domain and generate traffic over time.

The size of a website on a domain contributes towards its authority because the number of pages that exists on a domain correlate with the amount of content that can generate inbound links. A larger website with quality content on each page will have more inbound links than a smaller website.

 

DA can also be meaningless...I have one site that has a DA of 35 - nothing but junk traffic...
It does not convert worth a damn, not even sure why i keep it around....
