Why our competitor has bigger DA?
-
I just compare our website www.simpletranslation.com with one of our competitor www.straker.com.au and their DA is much better than ours even we have more external backlinks. Can somebody explain me why?
We worked really hard on new content on our blog and did few guest posts and instead of see some results on increasing of our DA our DA went down in last 2 months and I have no idea why.

If they won't take them down, you can use the link disavow tool in Search Console. Since DA is a Moz generated metric, you might not see a change, but Google will stop 'counting' those links to your site.

Is there anyway how to remove them when we don't have access to login and administrator of these websites don't answer. We didn't do these links.

Hi,
It's important to remember that your link profile isn't about quantity, it's about quality. 10,000 junk links are less valuable than 10 high quality links.
I took a quick look at your link profile in OSE, and it looks like you have some questionable sites pointing to yours. For example, the one from this domain: http://organisedlinks.com, even the domain of that site screams "link farm!". And that same domain is also part of a network, I can see multiple links to your site with the first part of the URI being "/business/business-services/", which is not a great indicator of link quality when that appears on multiple linking domains. Most of your links are from domains that all appear to being aggregating links/data from the same place.
Get rid of those links, acquire some relevant links from industry related sites and you should see your DA tick back up.

Image attatched... How is it possible to rank on Google Norway for spot nr.1 (page in English language) and spot nr.2 (page in Norwegian language) , when all you competitors have higher PA, DA and a lot more backlinks and better on-page optimization according to MOZ? Is there something I´m misunderstanding?

What's the best SEO way to benefit from your competitor's shutting down?
Hi ! Our main competitor is shutting down (website will be offline) at the end of the month and we are negotiating with them to buy their domain name: the idea would be to take advantage of their good rankings in the SERPs to redirect traffic to our pages (we're planning to crawl their site or get their sitemap and redirect th category / product pages to ours). The question is: for how long this strategy will be useful: days / weeks / months? (= for how long their pages will continue to appear in the SERPs from the day we enable the 301 redirections to our site?) Thanks in advance for your help! And if you have better suggestions, we're up to hear them of course.. 😉 Cheers

Competitor research: No data / results displaying on Keyword tools, Aexa
Hi there! I'm trying to research a few competitors using various Keyword tools (SEM Rush, Compete, Keyword Spy -- even Alexa for high level insight). While the bulk of the competitors generate expected results through these tools (a smattering of their top organic and paid search keywords, some traffic estimations through Alexa), ONE of these competitors lists "No results" across all categories and all tools: http://www.bgstar.ca Despite this, we know that they invest heavily in search -- and my SEM Rush toolbar indicates that they have a Google PR of 5 (though I recognize that that should be taken with a grain of salt). So I'm stumped! Has anyone encountered this before? Is there something structural that they might be doing, that's blocking not only Google-based platforms, but Alexa too? Thanks for your help!
