        Hi,

        Hope this enlightens the main issues regarding on how to improve DA and PA.

        First, about the inbound links; although you have 18 domains pointing links to your website, 12 of the 18 domains had set the links as nofollow:  https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/linking-domains?site=https%3A%2F%2Fpickhunting.com%2F&src=mb&state=not_deleted&target=domain&type=nofollow

        The website has 22 page titles equal to each H1. It is a best practise to include the Brand at the end of the page title. Why at the right end? Brand matters a lot, but first the name and keywords that tells the potential visitors and to the algorithms of the Search Engines what each page is about. At the same time, by including the brand into each page title, you will differentiate the page title from the H1 as it should be.

        If somebody is looking for your brand, that action does not need SEO, due to already knows about you. SEO is for new searchers looking for your products and/or services.

        Page title: About | Pick Hunting
        H1: About

        Maybe, you can set up unique meta descriptions for each page. Perhaps using the free Yoast plugin can help with the task. Good luck and Happy New Year 2020!

          Hi everyone,

          I'm replying just to add that, improving your PA/DA metrics wont assure you better rankings. Moz's metrics are mostly calculated through link metrics. I'd suggest you, as Mª Verónica did, to focus more on improving your onpage, content and technical stuff rather than some private metrics.

          That's one of the main reason, I guess, why Mª Verónica gave you some advises looking at your website.

          If you want to know more about how to think and understand better what offer users for better rankings, these resources might help:

              Hello and kind regards;
              I have a website called https://bonianservice.com/ One problem I have is that Domain Authority has not gone up after six months. What should I do? Tip 2 Should the link be made for the first page only or should other pages be linked?

              Sorry for posting the web link. Check out my website if possible.

              Thanks

                Hi there,

                The fact that your DA did not increase in the last months is not an issue. There might be a lot of reasons why that happened, im listing just a few (it doesn't that's your case):

                • No better links added
                • The total sum of authority on links added and on links lost is zero
                • The entire ecosystem gained authority and there is no net increase

                As always, I'd strongly suggest you and everybody to dont worry that much about increasing any private metric (DA, PA, DR, TF or whatever) but focus on creating great content and if linking opportunities come, be sure that those links come from high quality and topic-related websites.

                Regarding linking to the first or to other pages, I did not fully understand the questions. But if you meant about pointing links ONLY TO THE HOMEPAGE, you shouldnt do that unless that's your only important page. 
                In an ideal scenario, you should have external incoming links to almost every page in your website.

                Hope it helps,
                best luck.
                Gaston

                    You can increase your DA PA score by making the backlink from the trusted site to your homepage.  I did this for my website: Cooking For Profit and got the high DA and PA scores.
