My domain is almost 3 years old with a lot of backlinks, but my PA=1 DA=1

Hi there! I have .photography domain. The domain is 3 years old. We know we have a lot of backlinks. However, the DA and PA are still 1. Also the number of linking root domains shows as zero. Can someone help me with it?

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Generally, pages with a PA of 1, or domains with a DA of 1 haven't been indexed by us for a variety of reasons (generally, the amount and/or quality of links pointing to them).

Unfortunately, in this case it's a different issue. We don't currently support custom Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .photography - this would explain why there's no data for this site in our Index.

Sadly I don't know of a good workaround for this - it's a technical limitation of the tool. I know we plan to expand the list of TLDs we support, but I'm not sure what kind of timeframe we can expect before new TLDs will be supported. You can find the current list of TLDs that we do support here: https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat

I'm sorry about that!

Thank you so much Samantha!

So basically, there is nothing wrong with my website itself, right? Google still can index it. The only problem is I can't analyze it? Or PA&DA=1 will effect my google ranking?

Thanks again!

PA and DA are a third party metric. Meaning that it has no impact whatsoever on Google rankings.

Thank you!!!!!

You should always try and keep track of your backlinks yourself, not rely on a third party tool to tell you who is linking to you.  No tool will give you 100% of the linking information, even when it's a regular, popular TLD.

Oh thank you!
