What is domain authority and why is it important?

Google’s domain authority has been around since 2014, but it wasn’t given a name until 2015. It was created to help Google sort through millions of websites and determine each site’s true popularity or quality.

One of the building blocks of an off-site SEO campaign is to connect with other brands that considered an authority and try to get a link from their website to yours. Their domain authority becomes an asset for your site and helps you achieve a higher rank in the search engines. So you can see Domain Authority is still an important metric.

In walks a new scam, the US Domain Authority.

US Domain Authority tries to convince you that they are the US version of Moz’s Page Rank, which is associated with Google. They market themselves as a website that ranks websites in order to find out who has high domain authority and who doesn’t. They are in fact not affiliate with Moz, Google or any reputable domain ranking service.
