How do you build domain trust and authority ?
-
I am doing some link building and was hoping to get some clear information about the quality of the links and what I need to build a higher domain trust and authority.
My sites page I wish to build for has: DA 22 PA 33 MR 4.6
I am looking at back links with these figures
Considering outbound links are equal, which pages can help build my page ?
page1 DA 66 PA 48 MR 4.8
page2 DA 66 PA 35 MR 3.75
page 3 DA 66 PA 28 MR 3.5
page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 2.73
Page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 1.87
Do I need back links with a Domain Authority Higher than my own ?
PA higher than my own ?
or MR higher than my own ?
or would any of these pages be able to improve my own ?
Thank you in advance for helping with this as I do not want to spend 6 months building the wrong links.

Hi Joseph,
From a purely numbers point of view, all of this links could help your site's metrics, but I think we're missing the larger picture.
Before we talk about that though, here's a couple of pointers:
- don't forget about MozTrust in your metrics, especially dealing with directory sites. Sites with high MozRank and low MozTrust should be avoided
- Also when dealing with directories, this is one of the few times that looking at PageRank is actually useful. A big difference between MR/DA and toolbar PageRank is a big warning sign that the directory might have been penalized
What's more important is probably the relevancy of the page. This is even more important than the metrics. A link from a relevant high trusted domain, even if it has almost zero MozRank, is better than an off topic link in the footer of page with great MozRank (some exceptions apply)
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

DA and PA are calculated by links and quality of the links.
And the trust ranking is based on the above along with the age of the domain.
Honestly, if you are doing these just for higher DA and PA, it won't do you too good. Quality links are really what gets business. If I get 1,000 links from toilet blogs and I sell TVs, their links won't mean a thing to me because no one will click those links.

Well,
I would like a general answer about the DA, PA and MR for sure.
However these particular pages are from directories listed here on SEOMOZ's list of directories worth exploring.
All would be links in a category for my site.
There are both free listings
and a fee to review the listing option. ( considered a paid link ?)
-
Are the sites relevant to your site? Will they be useful to the users of the other site? Are these links paid?

Why is my domain authority still 1?
I changed the domain of my website from www.vanillacrush.co.uk to www.carissamay.co.uk at the end of December and yet my DA for carissamay is still 1. As advised, I set up a 301 redirect from VC to CM which seems to be working fine. However when I check on redirect detective it tells me I also have a 302 set up. Could this be confusing things? http://www.vanillacrush.co.uk http://www.vanillacrush.co.uk/ http://www.carissamay.co.uk Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks

Sub-domain or not???
Hi, We're setting up a forum for our users (our target audience responds extremely well to forums). I was wondering if it should be set up on a sub-domain or not. I'm leaning towards sub-domain, but our devs say this will impact how they approach it so I'd like to give them an answer asap so we can proceed with planning it! Thanks, Amelia

Link Building for E-Commerce
Hi, Our on page optimization, albeit for a few dupe content issues, is ok - We have good keyword rich URL's, Titles, H1's and unique product descriptions. So now I want to look at building links that will boost our DA and PA's. We have over 2000 products on the store and around 130 categories/subcategories -and I would appreciate any views on where to start - My initial view is to get backlinks from the relevant manufacturer websites to the "shop by brand" page on our site related to these manufacturers - What other strategies should I look at? Thanks, Ben

Keyword weight in Domain Name
Hi All, I'm looking for some advice on URL structure. Our domain name includes 1/2 of many keyword strategies that we're considering. For example our domain is like, dive.com Keyword strategies that we're looking at targeting would include things like, "dive shop", "dive equipment" etc etc Are we competitive to have a structure like this? dive.com/shop/ dive.com/equipment/ Or will this structure yield stronger results? dive.com/dive-shop/ dive.com/dive-equipment/ Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks! Malcolm
