Domain Authority in SEO is a BAD idea

Many SEO tools use something called Domain Authority to evaluate the « power » of a domain.

First, Google interprets the Web on a page level. If you really believe Domain Authority is useful, focus on Page Authority or whatever is analyzed on a URL level, instead of the overall domain.

Second, Domain Authority scores on a SEO tool is always a magic soup cooked by SEO druids.

They never explain exactly how the score is calculated. There are no scientific and reliable sources to legitimate the results.

Reverse engineering Google’s algorithm is not impossible. Search engines have done it. Some SEO pretend they did it. Others prove they did.

The way you approach the challenge is very important.

Also, at the end of the day, the most important factor is : does it work?

Whatever SEO tool or strategy you use must deliver results. Like I always say : proof is on the screen.

The topic of #DomainAuthority for #SEO on #Google was the very first podcast we recorded. Since it's one of the major Search Engine Optimization myths, we thought it was a good idea to put another dent into it.

Here is the previous video about Domain Authority in SEO

As a side note, it’s crazy to see how production leveled up quickly on this podcast.

As always, this is only my opinion.

Please don't hesitate to share your point of view on the topics covered in this video.

I never take for granted the time you spend to watch our content.
