Can I increase my DA with backlinks pointing to the www version ?

[majesticlub]

Hello Guys, I hope I am posting this in the right section...

I was wondering something...

I use the www version for my website, So I set the cannonicalisation and the 301 Redirect of non-www to www version.

But I checked my website on MOZ (Open Site Explorer) and when I type in mywebsite.com I get 19 DA and 1 PA.

When I typed in www,mywebsite.com I get 19 DA and 32 PA.

So i would like to have some clarifications about how their domain authority and page authority system work. My PA of the www version is higher than my DA because almost all my link point to the www version and I do the 301 redirect. ?

But how can I increase my DA if I focus on building backlink to the www version of my website ?

Should I build link to the non-www version of my website to increase my DA even if I use the www version for my website ?

If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ?

If I build backlink to the www version of my website will it increase the DA of my website ?

Im really confused here so any help and clarification from you guys will be really appreciated.

Thank You.

Step 1. - DON'T PANIC!

Step 2. - Understand that Moz's DA & PA can take a little while to find that you've set a canonical and or 301. Further to this understand that Moz is attempting to give you an indicator to what is an authority (a good link etc.) this is not an absolute nor is it a garuntee of ranking.

Step 3. - Relax, have some of your favorite beverage.

Humor aside as long as you've implemented the 301 correctly the rest will take affect it can just take a little time for Roger bot to find your changes, rest assured I'm sure Google has found your changes and given the link juice the right treatment. On top of this links pointed to www. and none www. is still a perfectly natural portfolio.

Short answer:

If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301

redirect ?

Yes, well technically it would increase DA for the none-www in a more exact way.

If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ?

see above answer , id recommend you build links to the main version you are going to use (www.)

But how can I increase my DA if I focus on building backlink to the www version of my website ?

Build links to the www. and any none www. will be taken care of by the 301

So i would like to have some clarifications about how their domain authority and page authority system work. My PA of the www version is higher than my DA because almost all my link point to the www version and I do the 301 redirect. ?

PA is base on the links going to that page

DA is based on all the links going to that domain across all the pages.

The reason you may have a higher DA - PA is that page is stronger value than the domain, try not to over think this!

Hope that helps, and remember - DONT PANIC!
