Domain Authority (DA) is a Moz metric (0-100 scale) predicting a domain\u2019s ability to rank on search engines, based on backlinks, content, and SEO factors in 2025. Higher DA signals stronger potential. The synonym \u201cDomain Strength\u201d is descriptive, while \u201cSite Authority\u201d is less specific, including non-Moz metrics. For example, a DA of 60 makes a domain ideal for PBNs. In Domain Hunter Gatherer (DHG), DA filters domains for robust link-building. In 2025, DA remains a key indicator, though Moz emphasizes it\u2019s predictive, not a Google factor. Compared to Page Authority, DA assesses the entire domain.
