      Hi

      I was looking at using PRWeb for some link building, however I have read quite a few articles bemoaning it and saying it carries very little, if any weight with Google. I am therefore confused that in Moz it has a DA of 90 (!) and a PA of 38, with a spam score of 1%. Are these negative articles wrong...is Moz ranking it wrong...or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere along the line?!

      Thanks

      Bob

        Hello

        Domain Authority in Moz is Moz's own score of your site/site health and it's backlink profile. Google has its own ways of grading your site.

        Google is not affected by Moz's domain authority score but it my experience, a higher domain authority has correlated with higher rankings and more traffic.
