DA and NoFollow

Hello! Are NoFollow backlinks given any consideration when calculating DA? Cheers!

No-Follow backlinks don’t directly impact Domain Authority (DA) as they don’t pass link equity, but they can still benefit SEO by driving traffic and increasing brand visibility. They contribute to a DG Paystub diverse backlink profile, which can indirectly improve DA through enhanced site metrics. For ranking an Android app website, focus on quality content, keyword optimization, and gaining Do-Follow links for better results.

In my Point of View No-Follow Back-links are Not Potential for Increasing DA, What do You think?

No, NoFollow backlinks do not directly affect a website's Domain Authority (DA). Domain Authority is based on factors like the quality and relevance of linking domains, but NoFollow links are not included in its calculations.

I have a question "My website is about an Android Application. It has been published for 2 months now. How should I do SEO to rank my site on SERP, and how much time does it usually take to appear on SERP".

Are NoFollow backlinks given any consideration when calculating DA?
As a Freelance Digital Marketer in Kochi, I believe NoFollow backlinks are typically not given direct consideration when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). It's based on a variety of factors, including the quality and quantity of backlinks, website age, content quality, and more.
NoFollow backlinks are hyperlinks that instruct search engines not to pass authority or PageRank to the linked page. While NoFollow links may not directly contribute to improving a website's DA, they can still have indirect benefits

When Google is checking the quality of a businesses backlinks,, its always good to have a mixture of do-follow and also no-follow links, sure its the do-follow that sends the link equity, yet you still need no follow as well, as these links, can still bring shoppers to your website.
we have a lot of no follow links to our summerhouse construction company, yet we get a lot of sales, from our hundreds of no-follow backlinks.

Thanks for this amazing post and detailed answer. I was looking for the solution of same problem. So, you have solved my problem. Thanks again and keep sharing such content.

No, NoFollow backlinks are not directly considered in Domain Authority calculations. DA primarily assesses the quality and quantity of followed (DoFollow) backlinks. However, NoFollow links can still contribute to your overall SEO strategy by diversifying your link profile and potentially driving traffic. Cheers!

@Buzz-s NoFollow backlinks are generally not considered when calculating Domain Authority (DA). DA, a metric developed by Moz, primarily assesses the strength and quality of a website's backlink profile. While NoFollow links do not pass link equity directly, they are often viewed as a part of a natural and diverse link profile. However, in the calculation of DA, the focus is predominantly on Follow links, which directly influence a site's ability to rank in search engines.
Keep in mind that NoFollow links still hold value for traffic generation and can indirectly contribute to your site's authority by driving user engagement and potentially leading to more Follow links.
Cheers!

How To Encourage Google To Discover Links?
I got a valuable backlink from a high authority website (MSN), but the link is placed in the middle of a slideshow with 20 pictures, and the only way to reach it is by clicking through the slideshow. After 6 months, this link still hasn't been noticed by Moz or Semrush, and I assume Google hasn't seen it either, because it's in the middle of a slideshow. Is there any way to encourage Google to find this link? Or am I all out of luck?

Dofollow vs nofollow for place listings?
Our travel website has thousands of places, each with an individual page, that users can interact with via our site. The info includes a link back to the place's main web presence if available (homepage, Facebook page, hosted listing elsewhere, etc.). We have no problem passing along PageRank to these sites and setting the link as dofollow. However, due to the sheer number (50k+) of these place pages that have the same anchor text of "Visit Website" in the same location on every page, I fear Google will see us as spammy and ding us. That said, would it be better to set these external links as dofollow or nofollow (or leave them as part of the Javascript as they are now)? Thank you in advance!

DA Vs PA
What is more important to to create a strong PA or a Strong DA? I do not do a ton of back linking to my index page. I focus more on my focus page I am working on. I watch a SEOMOZ video and I took that DA is the most important as he only did back links to his index if I understood right.

Domain Authority and nofollow links?
Hello, I'm wondering, are 'nofollow' links from websites with high domain authority beneficial? Would they boost our own DA? In essence, I'm wondering if there is added value (other than visitors clicking the link) to being linked to by a 'nofollow' link. Thanks!

Additional links + Sinking DA
Hello from a tired SEO I slept badly last night when I discovered last evening our Domain Authority had slumped. I've found that my client is now receiving followed backlinks from links placed in the footers of two good quality/related sites. My question is should I ignore the reduction and keep link building around these - or - should I ask for these links to be removed? Another factor in the mix is we have gone from about 300 links to 600 in a month. I have been working hard on our blog and site content with feeds to technorati. Any advice for a tired novice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
