Moz definition of Domain authority is it is used as a metric on how competitive a site is. This is different than my definition. I like to say that the domain authority shows how creditable a website is and the domain authority gives your website a value score of how Google values your website in their eyes. I might be splitting hairs here, but I think there is a big difference between these two definitions.
Moz also says there are many things that make up our domain authority such as content quality, content uniqueness, click-through rates, internal links, and backlinks. However, they don’t emphasize which one is more important than the others. Moz would tell you that they can’t gauge that, and each metric is valuable. The real answer is backlinks are the most important part of a domain authority score and can affect it the most. The reason why they don’t emphasize this is probably because they don’t have hard facts to back this up. However, I have been link building for a long time and can tell you from experience that backlinks are very important even though there has also been a debate the backlinks don’t matter. Just remember when Google first started their search engine backlinks are the main reason why websites ranked over each other, and it was the core concept behind their algorithm. Yes, the Google algorithm has become much more sophisticated but backlinks are still one of the most important factors in ranking as no now.
