Q & A
什么是网站权威性(Domain Authority)?
-网站权威性是一个由SEO工具公司创造的指标,用于衡量一个网站与其索引中的其他网站的相对'强度'。它尝试衡量的是一个网站的反向链接配置文件相对于其他网站的强度。
为什么网站权威性分数本身不应该是你的关注点?
-网站权威性分数本身不应该是你的关注点,因为它只是一个衡量工具,真正应该关注的是导致分数上升的因素,即来自权威网站的高质量反向链接。
如何提高网站的链接权威性?
-提高网站的链接权威性主要依赖于三个方面:1) 增加来自独特网站的链接数量;2) 获得链接网站的域名权威性分数高;3) 确保推荐网站不会链接到过多其他独特网站,以保持所谓的'DR股权'。
为什么说提高域名权威分数不应该是你的目标?
-提高域名权威分数不应该是你的目标,因为谷歌排名是基于页面而不是网站。专注于提高网站级别的权威性可能会让你偏离真正的目标,即在谷歌上获得排名并吸引更多的有机流量。
Ahrefs的域名权威度量度(Domain Rating)是如何计算的?
-Ahrefs的Domain Rating代表一个网站反向链接配置文件的整体强度。它不仅考虑链接的数量,还考虑指向网站链接的质量和类型。Domain Rating不是线性的,而是从0到100的对数刻度。
什么是Referring Domains?
-Referring Domains指的是链接到你网站的独立网站数量。在Ahrefs的计算中,只考虑了被跟随的链接,即那些带有nofollow、UGC或sponsored值的链接不会提高网站的DR分数。
链接的质量如何影响网站的Domain Rating?
-链接的质量通过链接的网站的Domain Rating来衡量。如果一个网站有来自DR 0网站的1000个被跟随的推荐域,这些链接对链接页面的DR分数帮助不大。因此,一个网站的DR可以通过链接网站Domain Rating的提高而增加。
推荐网站链接到的其他独特网站数量如何影响DR分数?
-推荐网站链接到的其他独特网站数量越少,它能够传递的所谓'DR股权'就越多。例如,如果一个新网站从《纽约时报》获得了一个链接,尽管《纽约时报》的DR分数高达94,但由于它链接到大量其他外部网站,这个链接对DR的影响可能并不大。
如何正确使用Domain Rating?
-正确使用Domain Rating的方式是将其与其他指标结合使用,如域名级别的流量或URL评级,后者估计页面反向链接配置文件的整体强度。而不是将其作为一个独立的指标来衡量网站的质量和合法性。
在SEO和营销中,应该关注哪两个主要方面?
-在SEO和营销中,应该关注两个主要方面:1. 为你想要排名的页面建立链接;2. 努力从权威和高质量的网站获得链接。这样不仅可以提高谷歌排名,还能作为副产品提高Domain Rating。
如何判断一个网站的链接是否高质量?
-高质量的链接通常来自相关且权威的页面。这些链接有助于提高你的页面在谷歌上的排名。具体的特征和标准可以在专门讨论高质量反向链接特性的视频或教程中找到。

Transcripts
People often ask us, "How do I increase my website's domain-level authority?"
And I often avoid this question because the score itself shouldn't be your focus.
What you should focus on is what causes that score to rise.
And that's high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites.
So today, we're going to talk about the three core factors that'll improve your website's
link authority in a meaningful way.
Stay tuned.
[music]
So if you're new to the concept of website authority, it's actually a made-up metric
from SEO tool companies.
Now, whether you call it Domain Rating, Domain Authority, website authority, or whatever, they all
serve the same general purpose.
They try to measure the relative "strength" of a website's backlink profile compared to
other sites in their index.
Now, while some tools claim that their website authority metric can predict a website's ranking
potential, I'd take that with a grain of salt.
Yes, I think SEOs generally agree that website authority does play somewhat of a factor in rankings.
In fact, we've found a clear correlation between Domain Rating and the number of keywords
a website ranks for.
But correlation doesn't prove causation.
Google ranks pages and not websites.
So having a goal to improve Domain Rating is too broad and could actually make you lose
focus from your true goal which is to rank in Google and get more organic traffic.
So by putting the focus at the website level instead of the page level is like painting
your whole house just to make your bathroom look good.
It might work to a certain extent, but 90% of your efforts actually have no effect on
the end goal.
Now, the things that cause an increase in your website's authority can help you rank
higher in Google.
And it all comes down to the main thing responsible for calculating this metric.
And that's links.
Now, I can't speak on behalf of other tool providers because I don't know how they
calculate their website authority metric.
But I can expand a bit on Ahrefs' website authority metric called Domain Rating.
So again, Domain Rating represents the overall strength of a website's backlink profile.
And when I say strength, it isn't just a pure numbers game.
We look at both quantity and quality of the links pointing at a website.
Now, Domain Rating isn't linear.
It's plotted on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100.
To understand this scale a bit better, think of it like gaining status in a video game.
You might start off as a "Scout".
And to gain your Ranger badge, it might only take a few hours.
But jumping to the next level could take you months!
Then only the truly elite players will get to Epic status.
And don't even get me started on Legendary.
This is reserved only for the "chosen ones."
In the same way, increasing a website's Domain Rating from 79 to 80 would be a much bigger
jump than going from 3 to 4, or even from 3 to 10.
In short, you can't say that a website with a DR 40 is twice as authoritative as a website
with a DR 20.
It'll be more than that.
Although improving Domain Rating shouldn't be your aim, let's talk about the three main
things that impact the score.
First are the number of unique websites that link to you.
At Ahrefs, we call these Referring Domains.
And in our calculations, we only account for followed links.
Meaning links with nofollow, UGC, or sponsored values won't improve a websites' DR score.
Now, since we count referring domains here and not backlinks, subsequent links from the same
website won't improve a website's DR either.
The second thing we look at is the Domain Ratings of the linking domains.
And this is one of the ways we keep DR reliable and tougher to manipulate.
For example, if a website has 1,000 followed referring domains that all come from DR 0
websites, it's unlikely that those links will do much for the linked page.
And we want to reflect that by not overinflating DR scores based on quantity alone.
This also means that a website's DR can increase if the Domain Ratings of the linking websites go up.
For example, I built a link from a DR 15 site back in 2017.
And today, that same website has a Domain Rating of 58.
The moral of the story is not to judge a website by its DR alone.
If there are less authoritative sites, but you see them grinding and consistently building links to
their pages, then the value of your link can increase over time.
This is the Referring domains graph for the site I got a link from and this is around the day
I got a link from them.
The slow and steady increase in referring domains plus the person's content were good
indicators that the site would continue to do well.
So I invested my time to get a link from a low-DR site and it paid off.
And the third thing we look at are the number of sites the referring website links to with at least
one followed link.
The more unique websites a site links to, the less so called "DR equity" it can pass.
For example, if you had a new website that got a link from the New York Times, you might
think you'd get a nice pop in your Domain Rating.
Afterall, the New York Times has a Domain Rating of 94 and it's one of the most well-known
sites in the world.
But because of the sheer number of external websites it links to with at least one followed
link, it won't have that much of an impact on DR.
As you can see in the Linked Domains report in Ahrefs' Site Explorer, they link to over 280,000
websites with a followed link.
So how much of an impact would a link from nytimes.com have on a website?
Well, it depends.
But to give you a better picture, this website only has one link in total, and it's from The New York Times.
And it has a DR score of just 2.
And remember, DR runs on a logarithmic scale.
So if you had a DR 70 site, that link may not visibly impact your Domain Rating.
Now, let's compare that to a site like IMDB, which has a DR of 93.
According to the Linked Domains report in Site Explorer, they only link out to around
5,000 websites with a followed link.
Now, if we look at this domain which has just a single referring domain from IMDB and no
other websites, you'll see the website has a DR score of 34.
So does that mean that the DR 34 site is more "authoritative" than the DR 2 site?
Or that a link from IMDB is better than one from the New York Times?
Definitely not!
And this is exactly why I don't recommend using Domain Rating scores as a standalone metric.
It's not a good indicator of a website's quality or legitimacy.
It's merely a measure of "link popularity."
Instead, it's better if you combine DR with other metrics like domain-level traffic or
URL rating, which estimates the overall strength of a page's backlink profile.
So what are the key takeaways here.
I'll tell you as it is.
Don't obsess over increasing your Domain Rating.
Instead, focus on two things.
#1. Build links to pages you want to rank.
Again, Google ranks pages and not websites.
And if you want to rank your pages for popular or competitive topics, you're going to need links.
In fact, we found that the number of referring domains to a page is the strongest correlating
backlink factor as far as rankings are concerned.
So rather than building them to every page across your site, focus on the ones you care
about most.
And #2. Try to get links from authoritative and high-quality websites.
At the end of the day, you want to rank your pages high in Google.
And the links that are going to move the needle are high-quality backlinks from relevant
and authoritative pages.
I won't expand on these qualities right now because we have a full video that outlines
the characteristics of high quality backlinks, which I've linked up in the description.
Now, if you focus on these two things, which were to build links to pages you want to rank
and to get links from authoritative sources, the byproduct is going to be higher Google
rankings and an increase in your Domain Rating.
And we have a ton of step-by-step tutorials on how to build links to your website, so I highly
recommend checking out our link building playlist.
