      Hi Guys,

      Any good tips on how to build PA and DA for a new website about 3 months old now, and our DA is at 5 while PA 1.

      Any good ideas from past experiences on how to build these up?

      Cheers

                Yes you are right.

                Another good way to increase the PA/DA in a very fast way is:

                • Find a expired domain with good PA/DA values and register it.

                • Redirect 301 to the domain where you want to increase the PA/DA values.

                Doing this, you will move part of the authority of the expired domain to the new domain and with that you will increase the PA/DA values.

                But be careful please! This is not always a good practice, it´s importat to analyze the expired domain very good ( his past, link profile etc.. ), so be sure you know what you are exactly doing, either you could damage your domain reputation .

                Br

                  Keep in mind that PA and DA are Moz metrics, and not metrics we've talked the search engines into using. 🙂 We use them to approximate what we think the engines are looking for, but you're wanting to build up your authority with the engines as your first focus, and not concentrate just on how to increase PA and DA for the sake of getting those numbers higher.
