Increasing the domain authority score is one of the major challenges for bloggers. A better domain authority score means that the blog has quality content and is trustworthy. Bloggers can then showcase their high domain trust factor to attract more number of advertisers to their blogs. One of the most factor through which search determine the domain authority score for blogs is through the number and quality of inbound links that a blog has. Below are some of the tips for bloggers to increase their domain authority score:
- 1# Start with your Content
Bloggers who have just started their blogs should post a good and unique post regularly. The better the quality of the blog posts, the more will be the chances to earn high quality natural links to your posts. A good practice to be inculcated by bloggers is to write ‘how to do guides’, create listified posts, or create an infographic on a topic. The basic underlying idea is to get as many quality links as possible from similar niche websites.
- 2# Inbound Links
The most important factor that search engines keep in mind when determining the authority of a domain is the number of inbound links coming from high quality sites. If a blog has more number of inbound links from high authority sites then the blog is also considered as high authority by search engines. Many SEO tactics are used to build back links to blogs, but what really helps in the long run is the ability to create and distribute quality content on a continuous basis.
- 3# Commenting On Other Blogs
Pick a handful of blogs belonging to your own niche which should be followed regularly and commented. But, building links always from the same blogs will not impress search engines. So, a better strategy to increase domain authority score is to comment on blogs belonging to a different niche. This will help in taking your blog to the next level and getting ranked faster in the eyes of major search engines like Google and Bing.
- 4# Avoid Prohibited Sites/Blogs
Search engines doesn’t recognize back links from some kind of websites/blogs which are in their negative list. While building back links to your blog, try to avoid building back links from sites/blogs which have content related to pornography, gambling, religious fundamentalism, violence, etc. In some cases search engine may even penalize websites which have back links from these prohibited blogs.
- 5# Link Deep in Your Blog
When you are adding new content to your blog, remember to link it to the older and relevant articles in your blog. This will tell the search engines that your blog also has other good quality content in the inner pages too. This will help in your new article getting ranked much sooner than you could imagine. Linking deep in your blog will also help in building trust into these pages and improving the authority of your domain.

Hello,
I think you forgot to mention Domain Age. It also matters a lot. Most domains with high authority scores were registered long long ago.
Other than that I agree with all the points you have mentioned above.

As the time doesn’t permit me to do guest blogging, Blog commenting is the key factor of success to me. Just a couple of comments on HQ frequently updated blogs helps to get a good DA and not to forget the thing that it also helps build relationships with fellow bloggers.

Well, your post reminded me to check domain authority of my blog too! Last time I could not join a network because my domain authority was not above required number.
This time, though it is not impressive yet, but improved a bit.
Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll try more to improve it.

You are right Bashir, linking to old post really amplifies your DA.
I would also like to add one more point, broken internal links decrease DA therefore it is essential to fix them to sustain your DA otherwise it would decrease over time!
