The important metrics

Every link builder focuses on domain authority, it’s engrained as soon as you enter the industry.

⚡ Note: When you see ‘domain authority’ mentioned, we’re referring to the general strength of a website’s domain. When we mention ‘Domain Authority (DA)’ this is when we’re talking about the metric score from Moz.

Industry tools like Moz, Ahrefs, Majestic and Semrush do an amazing job at quantifying domain level and page level authority.

Analysing and combining the authority metrics offered by each tool helps to build a picture of the domain’s authority and trust.

No single metric or score tells the whole story – but together, these metrics can help you prioritise the right opportunities, benchmark against competitors, and identify relevant links for sustainable long term traffic value.

Moz

Moz’s Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) predict how well a domain or URL will rank by analysing factors like link quantity, relevance, and domain trust.

Ahrefs

Ahrefs provides similar metrics with Domain Rating (DR) and URL Rating (UR), focusing on backlink quantity and quality.

Majestic

Majestic, Trust Flow (TF) scores the perceived trustworthiness of links based on their source, while Citation Flow (CF) reflects how many links a site has overall.

Semrush

Semrush’s Authority Score (AS), combines backlink signals, traffic data, and spam indicators to give a broader view of domain strength.
