What is a Good Domain Authority Score?

 

The Domain Authority score is a scale from 1 to 100, in which the 1 is the lowest or you may say bad, and 100 is the best. No one can say that this number is a good DA, but many SEO experts say a good DA score is between 50 to 60, and more than 60 is great.

 
And in simple words, a good DA score is having a DA more than your competitor. This means if your competitor has DA between 50 – 60, then your DA score must be greater than 60 or 65.
 
 

How is Domain Authority Calculated?

 
Well, DA (Domain Authority) is calculated on the basis of various factors. As per Moz, they check 40 different factors while calculating the DA of a website, but the main important factors which are taken while determining the DA of a website are mentioned below-
  • The number of root domains linking to your website.
  • Total numbers of backlinks
  • Number of external linking
  • Social Media Shares
