Domain Authority (DA)
Domain Authority is an aggregate score for your website that calculates your website’s ranking and likelihood of appearing in other searches. It was first developed by the SEO company Moz, though other analytical software tools have since developed their own versions of the metric.
Domain Authority is not a standardized metric as defined by search engines, but can be a reasonable gauge of overall website health and ranking.

A backlink that carries the “nofollow” HTML tag. This indicates to search engines that should not count as a vote of quality for that site.
Some sites, particularly those with user-generated content, will mark all of their backlinks as nofollow, to avoid abuse of their content systems to generate backlink SEO value for third-party websites.
