Attaining DA, PA and Links Count

[kookabara]

It's been more than 6 months since my site has been up. I have submitted the site to several online directories. However, I still cant attain a PA and DA. The link count is also not showing. Can someone please help to explain. The site URL is www.toymana.com

Hi Jason,

First of all don't focus on the directory only. I don't know on which directory you have submitted your site and most of the directories have been ineffective for a long time now.

I'm sharing an article on this that will help you to increase PA & DA @ http://www.searchenginejournal.com/50-ways-to-increase-the-domain-authority-of-your-site-infographic/77281/

Thanks

I don't think the directories you've submitted to are listing you yet - or they have your URL wrong.  According to Moz you have 0 links. According to Majestic Historic Index (a very large backlink database) you also have zero links.  Ahrefs finds 3 backlinks total, from:

pingmyurl.com

secretsearchenginelabs.com

and submitse.com

These are very, very low quality links.

When I search your url in Google I find your Youtube channel and your Facebook page among other links. The Youtube links don't have hyperlinks, just text. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChDJ0RcYN00

Add http:// and link these descriptions first.

Even your link in the post above is unlinked. I'm not suggesting you use Moz forum for link building but you seem to never use the http:// and that's why a lot of links aren't real links. You have more "text links" than real clickable links.

Basically, you don't have any real links. That's why you don't have a PA or DA higher than 1. While these metrics, by themselves, won't get you ranking, you really do need to generate some awareness of your site so it would be a good start to work on authority, link building, fixing your text links, etc.
