Why is it crucial to increase the Domain Authority of your website?
Increasing your Domain Authority will increase the possibilities of your website ranking higher on Google and other search engines. Sometimes, you may have seen that a website which has a low DA ranks lower than websites who have a high DA with much less engaging content.DA is very important for search engine ranking.
... so how do you grow your domain authority.
Generate High Quality Links For Your Site
It’s not going to be easy to generate high-quality links for your site, but it’s going to be worth it.Many bloggers and webmasters make mistakes here. They end up making low-quality links which don’t add any value, hence reducing their site’s ranking on Google.
Let me tell you where they go wrong:
They practice the rubbish methods.
For example, they generate links using sites like Fiverr and other sites which guarantee backlinks within a few minutes. These links suck.
I mean there are many people working hard day and night just to get high-quality backlinks; what the hell is wrong with them? Actually, they’re right, and the ones who are generating backlinks by illegal means are going to pay for it. They may lose their ranking and their site may get penalized by Google.
So what are the “good methods” of generating high-quality links?
I recommend you follow these steps:
#1. Share your content on social networking sites.
Most social media sites have a high Domain Authority. When you share your blog posts on sites like Facebook and Twitter, you reach a new audience. And if your content is good and gets more shares, then it will go viral in no time.
Remember: Even the best content needs to be shared and promoted.
Do not be a spammer and develop a schedule . Social media sharing is a skill. To master this skill, a great strategy and lots of practice is needed.
2. Guest Posting.
Guest posting is one of the best ways to grow your brand’s authority and to increase referral traffic. It is a much safer and more advantageous technique than blog commenting.
I have found that guest posting is becoming very spammy because many
guest bloggers implement wrong methods. A few of them try link stuffing, rich anchor text stuffing, publishing low-quality content, etc.
The days are long gone when guest posting was the main source of link building . Don’t use guest posting as a way to gain more links for your site
because that won’t work.
Guest posting is still a very strong and convenient way that will help with your site’s rankings if you do it in a systematic and proper way. If you want to make the most out of guest posting, then you should follow these points:
• Think outside the box and create insanely good content.
• Try to post on high authority sites.
• Avoid link stuffing as it can affect your site’s ranking. And you may get penalized.
• Only post on related topics as the site where you are planning to post.
#3. Content Is The Natural Link Builder.
Yes, no other methods is as useful as this one. You just need to
produce good content – content that is informationally rich, legitimate, and easy to read and understand.
Good content will not only benefit your site (and your readers), it will also help other sites too.
How?
Let’s look at an example:
Suppose BRAINFAVVY has created a great and descriptive post on My Wap Tutors and DANTE found FAVVY’s content very unique and relevant to his post. DANTE linked to FAVVY’s post in order to make his own post more informative and interesting. Thus, FAVVY got one mention, and her post helped DANTE in composing a good post of his own.
Create lots of linkable content to gain more and more natural links for your site.
Although there are many other safe and practical ways to generating high-quality links, these three techniques work like a charm.
Checking your Domain Authority.
It is very important to check your DA score at least one a month. It will help you know your site’s strength.
A high DA means a high search engine ranking.
There are many free Domain Authority checker tools available that will help you not only check your site’s DA score, but also your competitors’ DA.
Here’s one way to check your Domain Authority:
Go to Open Site Explorer - Enter your website’s URL.
Click on the Search button to get your DA score along with Page Authority and Spam Score.
As you can see (in the screenshot), i used ShoutMeLoud as an example and it has a DA of 59.
Achieving a DA number higher than 50 is very challenging and will take a lot of time to get there. But I promise that if you follow all of the steps in this post, you will achieve that score one day.
