        Assuming you are talking about DA from Moz here.

        DA stands for Domain Authority and the new version just released.  In a way it's a measurement by Moz that gives you perspective on how well the site should rank because of it's authority.  Kind of like PageRank from Google but instead it's based on Moz's data pulls.

        You can learn all about Domain Authority here:  https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

        And see the update to Domain Authority 2.0 here:  https://moz.com/blog/new-domain-authority

        Hope this helps

          Darin got there first! Domain Authority. It is the current metric to judge the effect a site has within the algorithm to rank for its niche.

          I don't want to copy Darin's post, I'd recommend the links he's given you. Happy reading

          • I am new to MOZ, I set up one tracking campaign two weeks ago, I have tracked no keywords, I have done some keyword research for ranking difficulty and in two weeks I have already hit 50K pages crawled, I'm maxed out, is this common?
