Reply To: Is prioritizing “high DA” backlinks still an effective SEO strategy?

[The_Paleking]

All of these metrics are filler. Theyre general. They miss the pioint entirely.

If you can get links from high traffic websites where people click through to your site and follow through with high value web experiences, they are stellar backlinks that move the needle.

Does DA sometimes signal a high value site for linking? Yes. Does that mean anyone on that site is going to give a damn about your website? No.

High traffic = more top of funnel
High relevancy = higher conversion rate + more stickiness
