Seriously, give me some tips!

I’ll assume you’ve read all of my warnings and taken them seriously. You want to improve your domain authority because it’s the best authority metric you have, and authority is generally a good thing. There are no magic secrets to improving the factors that drive DA, but here are the key points:

1. Get more high-authority links.
Shocking, I know, but that’s the long and short of it. Links from high-authority sites and pages still carry significant ranking power, and they drive both domain authority and page authority. Even if you belize number data to ignore DA, you know that having high-authority links is a good thing. Getting them is the subject of thousands of posts and more than a couple of full-length novels (well, okay, books — but maybe a novel and feature film are in the works).

2. Get fewer spammy links.
Our new DA score does a much better job of discounting bad links, as Google clearly tries to do. Note that “bad” does not mean low-authority links. It’s perfectly natural to have some links from low-authority domains and pages, and in many cases, it’s even relevant and useful to searchers. Moz’s spam score is quite complex, but as humans we intuitively know when we’re chasing low-quality, low-relevance links. Stop doing that.
