What are Domain Authority and Page Authority?

 

Domain Authority

Developed by Moz, Domain authority refers to search engine ranking score that predicts a website’s ranking on the search engine result pages. The score of the DA ranges on a wide scale from one to 100, with a higher score predicting a greater chance to appear on the top ranks of the SERPs.

Multiple factors are taken into account to calculate DA score. These factors include the number of total links and linking root domains. The score is used to compare different websites or track the ‘ranking strength’ of a particular website over time.

You can view domain authority of a website by using MozBar (it’s a free Chrome extension), the search engine result page analysis part of Keyword Explorer, Link Explorer, and several other SEO tools are easily available across the web.

Remember that DA does not refer to any metric that Google uses to determine the search engine ranking of a website and produces no effect on the search engine result pages.

Page Authority

Developed by Moz, page authority refers to a score that accurately predicts how well a particular page will rank on the SERPs. Like DA, PA also ranges from one to 100 and a higher score predicts greater ability to be a top ranked.  

PA is calculated on the basis of data sourced from the web index. Dozens of factors including Link Domain Authority which utilizes a machine-learning model to figure out the algorithm that best relates to the rankings across the SERPs, are used to calculate the Page Authority score.
