      Hi,

      Even after building links through white hat, publishing fresh content and infographics every week and links from more than 1700 domains our site’s domain authority is 49 and page authority is 57. Any idea what we are doing wrong?

      Thank you

      Chris Adams

        In short, domain authority is calculated from the authority of the domains that link to you. If a 49 DA is inadequate for your ranking then you will need to chase links from domains who have much higher DA than who are linking to you now. http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority

          Thanks for the response Ian. Based on the backlinks to our site do you have any suggestions?

            What's the URL to your site? I do not see one posted above.
