By Ashutosh Jha → Wednesday, September 21, 2022

This guide will teach you how to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains and WordPress hosting?

You can also use this guide to build WordPress PBNs if you want to.

Also, the word “cheap” plays a key role here. I’ll show you how to avail the best discounts without sacrificing any quality.

In less than $6.00, you can get your WordPress blog up and running in the next few seconds (with a .com domain)!

How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains?

There are various ways you can buy “cheap” domains on SeekaHost.app, or lower your costs. (I’ll show you the exact steps in the later sections on this guide).

The primary factor impacting your domain cost are:

• Your domain extension.
• The time-period you register your domain for.
• Discounted domains (domains which may be going through promotional discounts).

If you need a “cheap” domain, you need to go with a cheaper extension, preferably discounted, and then register it for a smaller term.

How much do domains cost?

SeekaHost.app is almost always running promotional discounts, generally 30% or more. Currently, it lets you register the following domains at the prices mentioned below:

• .in-$3.25/year (70% discounted)
• .com -$5.99/year (50% discounted)
• .dev-$14.00/year (30% discounted)
• .app- $14.00/year (30% discounted)
• .ca-$7.99/year (47% discounted)
• ..co.uk- $$4.99/year (41% discounted)
• .it- $15.00/year
• .ch- $16.00/year
• .de- $8.00/year
• .io- $78.00/year
• .website- $25.00/year
• .online- $37.00/year
• .tech- $54.00/year
• .blog- $30.00/year
• .org- $15.00/year
• .net- $15.00/year
• .co- $30.00/year
• .nl- $8.00/year
• .ae- $50.00/year
• .com.au- $12.50/year

Do note that these prices are true for September 2022. These may or may not remain the same by the time you read this SeekaHost.app review.

What is the best domain extension?

If you ask me, I’ll advise you to go with the .com domain extension. Here’s why:

• it’s global
• Can be used for any industry/niche/project.
• Is the most common?
• Helps with SEO and is easy to remember.
• Despite all that, it is one of the cheapest.
Also, registering a .com domain doesn’t require any additional credentials or information. In other cases (e.g., when registering .co.uk/.ca or many other country-specific extensions), you’re required to enter a trading name and other such additional details.

You can also go with:

• Niche specific domains: .tech /.dev /.blog /.website etc. these will be the best bets if you’ve got a very specific project in mind.
• Country specific domains: If you’re creating a very national project and global branding isn’t your top priority.

How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains?

Before you can buy a domain, you need to search and check availability of the domain, don’t you?
Before you can search for the domain, you need to register at SeekaHost.app.
Just click on this link and fill out the registration form.

1 Once you’re in, click on the Domain name button and then click on Register domain.

2 [Optional] You need “cheap” domains, don’t you? The best way to get those is to check which domains have an offer on them.

You can do that if you click on the “Offers” tab on the next page. This will only show you the domains that have one or the other kind of discount available.

3 If you find an extension you like, search for domains using that extension in the search box above. Once you find the domain you like, click on “Add to cart”.

4 [Tip: You can completely skip the entire “offers” step mentioned above. You can simply and directly search for a domain and then check its price.]

For the next step, click on the “checkout” button that you see. This will take you to the purchase page. Here, just click “next”.

5 SeekaHost.app will ask you to enter information such as your name, address, contact details, etc. Enter these and click on Next.

6 Lastly, choose how you wish to pay, enter your payment information, and click on Order Now.

7 You can now access this domain that you purchased under Domain name-domains from the options on the left.

Is there a domain refund policy?

Alike most other registrars, SeekaHost.app doesn’t offer refunds on domains.

This is because “domains” are something that SeekaHost.app doesn’t provide on its own. They’re registered with a third-party, a central registry and hence it’s not easy for a provider to simply scratch a domain name at will.

However, its hosting trial plans (discussed next) will probably impress you.

What is WordPress hosting?

Let’s first talk about exactly what WordPress hosting is?

It’s a hosting service which allows you to host WordPress blogs. In most cases, it’s additionally optimized for WordPress blogs. One-click WordPress installation too is generally found with WordPress servers.

SeekaHost.app also offers a few settings you can configure even before installing WordPress.

How much do WordPress hosting servers cost?

Here are the SeekaHost.app WordPress hosting packages:

• Starter: $1.49/month (1 website)
• Standard: $5.50/month (3 websites)
• Growth: $8.00/month (5 websites)
• Premium:$12.00/month (10 websites)

7 day free trial

SeekaHost.app lets you use all of their hosting plans completely free for the first 7 days.

There are no feature restrictions or spec limitations. You get the complete server that you’d get if you pay for the server.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to get the free trial when buying your hosting server.

Let’s get to the point then?

How to buy cheap WordPress hosting on SeekaHost.app?

Click on the Hosting plans button. Then select WordPress hosting.

9 [Tip]: You can also click on the A class IP hosting button. This too offers you WordPress servers, but the most premium IPs. These are more expensive. The steps will remain exactly the same.

You should click on the “7 day free trial” link if you wish to try SeekaHost.app without having to pay anything.

15 You can also click on the “Choose plan” button if you do not need the 7 day trial. The next steps do not change depending on your choice here.

You then need to enter your name, address and other such personal details. Then, if you need “cheap” hosting, you can choose to go with the “Annual” plan. It offers you nearly 33% discount as compared to monthly payments.

10 You can obviously also choose to pay monthly. Once you’ve selected your payment terms, click on the continue to subscribe button.

Then just make your payment.

11 This is how you can purchase a cheap WordPress hosting using SeekaHost.app.

How to access the WordPress control panel?

I’m sure you’ve noticed there’s no “cPanel”.

Hence, in order to access your WordPress site, you need to click on Websites & blogs. Then if you click on WordPress Sites, SeekaHost.app will let you install WordPress.

12 There are two ways you can install WordPress.

• One-click installation: Once you click on the “Add new WP site” button above, you’re then asked to enter a few basic details. You can enter your blog domain and blog title. No other details are required.

13 • Advanced installation: If you click on the “WordPress settings optional +” button, you get a few more options. You get to change your admin e-mail, theme, and install dozens of plugins in a single click.

14 So this is how you install WordPress on your SeekaHost.app WordPress hosting server.

Things to do after installing WordPress on SeekaHost.app

I wouldn’t stretch this further. I’m sure you know what follows next.

However, in case you’re completely new to this, here’s the general direction you should head in:

• Go to your WordPress control panel and copy your nameservers.
• Go to your domain control panel and unlock domain > paste the namservers.

I’d also advise you to enable the free SSL that you get with SeekaHost.app.

Wrapping it up - How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains and WordPress hosting?

I’ve tried to make this guide as straightforward and simple as possible.

However, if you do get stuck, SeekaHost.app offers 24X7 support (even if you haven’t purchased anything) via tickets.

The company also offers free backups and DDoS protection if those things interest you in any way.

If you wish to build a PBN, SeekaHost.app specializes in that as well. All you have to do is, simply select the PBN package instead of the WP package. This guide can be used ditto build your PBN if you simply replace it with one step.

Go sign up at SeekaHost.app and give their 7-day trial a try? I’d love to know your views and opinions on this guide, as well as the company once your trial is over!

How I Bought a Domain in $0.99 and Earned $200 in 15 Days [Make Money From a New Blog]

By Ashutosh Jha → Saturday, April 24, 2021

This post is for all who are struggling to make the first few dollars online without much effort. So, if you are also struggling to make money online, you should go through this post completely. Here I will be sharing how I make money from a new blog.

Also, if you are earning well through blogging but still want a few more dollars without much effort, this post will help you. Without wasting much time let’s see how I did this and how you can earn as well exactly. Just replicate the process I followed to make $200 in 15 days from one blog just from one domain which I bought for just $0.99.

What is the concept behind the method?

As we know, there are many ways to make money online but all the methods won’t work for everyone. Also, there is no guarantee that the tricks which have worked for me will work for you as well.

But the beauty of this method is it may work for all because we are not doing anything extra special. So, let me tell you what I did.

The idea to make money from a new blog is fairly simple where we will buy one expired domain and then will set up a blog. After adding some content, start selling links and posts from that newly created blog.

Using this method to make money from a new blog, you can easily earn $100-500 per month. But again it depends on the quality of your blog and blogging niche. Please note, I just made this as an experiment and the result was damn good.

What I did and what you can do also to earn the same?

First of all, you need to select the niche in which you want to start. I’m going to show you the exact method I did and you should also do.

Blogging Niche Selection

For this method, I will advise you of the following profitable blogging niche-

• Technology niche- Although it is very competitive for such types of blogs, the tech domain is recommended as you will get paid posts easily.
• Blogging niche- You can try this as well and cover both technology and blogging stuff like advertising networks, content services, etc. You’ll get several advertisers looking for links and posts from your blog.
• Software Niche- Software related blogs can also work best as you may get many posts for software from different segment like VPN software, PDF related software, and much more. The only issue with this niche is, whenever in the future, you may want to continue with that blog for the long term, it will be comparatively difficult to rank.
• Or the niche which you are interested in and think advertisers will be interested to buy the links and posts.

Once you are done with the niche selection, you can move ahead and find the domain.

What I did: I selected a blogging niche domain which was having topics like blogging, technology, and software earlier as well.

Search Expired Domain

This is the main step as the more powerful domain you will get the more money you will be able to make. You can even start with a fresh domain but in that case, you will have to work for months to increase its metrics like DA (Domain Authority), PA (Page Authority), Spam Score (Make it as low as possible), Backlinks, etc.

And this process needs time after which only you will be able to sell the links and posts. So, as the topic suggests, let’s get started with the expired domain. In this post, I am not going to tell you how to find an expired domain as I have written a dedicated post for that. You can find the link below to find expired domain free.

>> How to find expired domain free

Using this guide, you can easily find some good expired domains without spending any penny. I have also explained what metrics you should look for how to apply those filters to the tool.

For quick earning, you should look for good quality domains. Here are the few parameters you should look for in the expired domain-

• Make sure the DA is 25+ and PA 30+
• The domain name should be readable so that it will look authentic
• Its spam score should not be more than 2. Better go for zero spam score
• Should have some good backlinks (500+)
• The anchor text of the expired domain you are selecting should be clean
• The history of the domain should be niche relevant and you should also continue with a similar domain.
• Go for top-level extensions (. com/.net/.org)

As of now, you are done with niche selection and domain selection. Now register that domain and select a hosting partner.

What I did: I selected a DA 27 and PA 31 domain with readable names and 8 letters with .com extension. Here are the metrics of that domain-

Register Domain and Hosting

Once you have selected the domain name, it’s time to register it. You can register a domain name starting at just $0.99. There are many cheap domain registrar companies who offer domains starting at just $0.99. GoDaddy, Bigrock, NameCheap, 1and1 are among the top domain registrar company.

You can check the below two links to find more about registering domains-

>>Top Domain registrar companies
>>How to get a free domain with BlueHost hosting
>>How to select a good domain name

Once you have bought the domain, it’s time to go for hosting. If you want to spend on hosting, you can go with WordPress else, Blogger platform can also work well. You can get cheap hosting for one domain at just $3.99 from BlueHost. You can follow the below resources for hosting buying.

>>Buy Hosting from BlueHost- BlueHost Review
>>How to set up a website on DreamHost in 5 Minutes – DreamHost Review
>>Top 5 SiteGround Alternatives
>>How to save money on hosting renewals

What I did: I registered a domain with GoDaddy which cost me $0.99. And I already had unlimited domain hosting and so I hosted the domain there. You can also go with a blogger to avoid hosting fees.

Now as you have bought both domain and hosting, it’s time to set up the website which we will see in the next section.

Setup the blog

In this section, we will set up the blog so that it can start making money immediately. Depending on whether you are going with Blogger or WordPress, follow the below two guides to set up the blog. I have explained each step in detail.

>>How to start a WordPress Blog from scratch
>>How to start a free blog on BlogSpot

Just use the normal theme as I have explained in these posts and make a professional blog. Also, add the basic pages like-

• About page
• Contact page
• Privacy policy
• Advertising page
• Terms & Conditions etc.

What I did: As said, I had hosted and so I created

So far, your blog is set up and now you need to add content to your newly created blog so that it will look natural and you can attract advertisers.

Add Contents to the blog

Make sure before reaching to any advertisers, you have at least 10-12 posts. And while publishing the post, remove the dates from the post, Meta tag, and comments.

If you have time and can write, write few posts else you can outsource it. You can also get the content for free. To get the free content, you can follow the below methods-

• You can offer the free guest post to a few people initially and in response provide a DoFollow backlink. This will give you a few good posts for free.
• You can check the way back machine and search the expired content. Now check their history and open articles. Copy that article, check for duplicate, and if it is coming as not duplicate, publish on your blog after some changes.

What I did: I have one writer who writes for me. I outsourced 10 articles from her and around 5 from the above-explained way back machine.

In these ways, you will have around 10-20 posts which are good to get started.

Start earning money

This is the section of which we are talking for long…isn’t it?

Now, your blog is set and everything is in place. It’s time to start making money. Our main aim is to sell links and posts. We are not focusing on product reviews as those companies look for traffic, social media followers, and more quality.

But at the same time, we have not built PBN and so you should not sell links for $1-$2 else you will end up earning pennies. Here are the few ways I followed to earn money from that site.

Post on Facebook groups

I am a part of a few buy sell group and other related groups where I posted an ad asking for $5 for a link or post. If someone wants a link from an existing post, he/she needs to pay $5 or if they need a post, content needs to be shared from their side.

I received around 20 orders from Facebook which gave me around $100. As all of those were Indian customers and so no PayPal charges or exchange charges involved.

This is the easiest way to get some handsome orders as you know people and if your site is good and as per what I explained above then getting $5 per post won’t be difficult.

Sell through Fiverr and SEOClerks

As you know Fiverr is one of the top micro job niche sites and the world’s largest $5 marketplace and so I followed it to get some orders.

Also, go through SEOClerks as they have the largest marketplace for SEO related stuff. I targeted these two sites and created a gig. I followed the gig details from the others’ gig which was working well in the same segment.

Here are few tips to get good orders from this marketplaces-

• Keep your price low
• Provide early delivery
• Compare with your competitors' service and provide a better solution
• Offer content also in just $2-$3 extra, this will help you increase average ticket size
• Responds to the queries and messages as quickly as possible.

Together these marketplaces helped me to earn around $105 after PayPal and marketplace fee deduction. You can also target some other small job sites which may get you few extra bucks.

So, this was my journey to earn $200 in 15 days from a blog which cost me just $0.99. I hope you found it simple that can be implemented very easily.

Also, I am sure the majority of you will be knowing this but it all depends on whether you implement it or not. Here are a few of my suggestions on this-

• Don’t keep the cost too high else you will not get orders initially
• Don’t spend too much on anything in this process
• Target those advertisers who look for links. Coupon sites can work better.
• Maintain the quality of the blogs so that it will not look spammy.

Wrapping it up!

These were all about how I made $200 in around 15 days from a new blog where I invested just $0.99. If you are a beginner and looking to earn your first few dollars online, this article can be a huge help.

Hope this article on making money from a new blog will help you earn a few dollars initially. Later you can use that as a motivation and attain growth in blogging.

Do try this method to make quick money online from the blog and share your success story with me.

You can increase the domain authority of website but that takes time. So, if you want to get those high figures quickly, you can hunt for high authority expired domain.

If not, then PBN stands for private blog network and is a set of different high metrics websites used to take links for the money website. Here money website means your main website.

Although ranking with PBN is not legal as per the Google T&C but still, it works like a charm and helps you rank faster.

If you will buy the PBN links from the companies, it may cost you some good amount of investment which is not possible unless you have a sound budget.

Such domains easily get around $50-$100 depending on the link profile, niche, and negotiations.

This is just a simple method. Register the expired domain with high PA DA you found and do a 301 redirect to your money site.

By this way, a portion of the link juice of the high authority domain will be passed to your money website. The things will be even better if your expired domains have some existing traffic. For example, see the below domains-

The first domain in this screenshot has over 20 Million traffic as per SimilarWeb. If you’ll buy and do 301 redirects of such domains then you can expect some traffic also redirecting.

• Dropped domains: All the expired domains which have not been renewed in the grace period also, are finally deleted and are available for the public to register. These domains cost the same amount a fresh domain cost. We will mainly focus on these domains.

Visit the site and on the home page, you’ll find different sections like below.

For this article, we are going to hunt for high authority .com expired domains. Click on the “deleted .com domains” link and all the deleted .com domains will be available to you.

Starting A Blog

How To Choose A Good Domain Name For Your Blog

By Ashutosh Jha → Sunday, May 13, 2018

Hey, Trickers! Here we are back with another exciting article on How to choose a good domain name. So let’s start.

Choosing a good domain name is very important for the survival of the website no matter what type of website you have or you want to develop.

Most of the time people mainly focus on the design and development of the website, but forget about the domain name, hosting and some other required stuff (I will talk about the Hosting services later). It doesn't matter whether you are going to start a small blog or a large e-commerce application, their identity (here domain name) should be good enough and unique. Below I will discuss some of the points which one should consider while registering any domain name.

Before going to the steps to select the best domain name, I would like to what the domain name is. I found a very nice explanation of domain name on Wikipedia-

A domain name is a unique name that identifies an internet resource such as a website.

How To Choose A Good Domain Name: 6 Points to follow

It is the address of your dream, here website. So be careful to select the identity of your dream. I am sure after reading this article; you will be able to select a nice identity for you.

1. Domain name should be small

Choose a domain name which should not be too long. Try to choose small domain name so that your visitor can easily remember that. In the present scenario, it’s very difficult to get a domain name of a single word. Because either those are already used or some people might have booked that to sell them later at a higher price.

Generally, choose a domain name of length 1-67 character. This has been considered as an ideal. Also while choosing a domain name, think of your customer.

2. Think about your business

Before choosing any name, think about your business. Your domain name should match your business or idea in which you are going to start your venture. I have seen several times that people have started a technical forum and their domain name is not at all related to that. This will help your visitors to get at least an idea about the site. This is the second step after choosing a good template for your blogs/website.

3. Unique Domain name

Try to choose a unique domain name for your website. It should not be ambiguous. Also, Try to avoid confusion in that like doesn’t use plural names. Suppose if your domain name is www.johnstool.com. So if any user visits your site by just typing the URL, they might type www.johntool.com or www.john’stool.com. So in all these cases, there is a chance of losing your valuable customer.

Also, it is advisable not to use a hyphen (-) or underscore (_) in the domain name.

4. Use top-level domains

If you are trying to get some business online, like you are going to start a business where you want to generate some leads online or trying to start blogs, then it is good to have top level domains.

Prefer to use the .COM domains or if you are not getting .COM, you can go with .NET or .BIZ is also. But try to get a good .COM domain. Because several times it has been seen that people don’t have your full URL. And that time they simply try with .COM only. So in this case, you may lose your customers and it may go to your competitor.

Also, if you are creating for mobile users only, you may choose .MOBI also.

5. Have alternatives and backups

It has been seen that on the average there are 2.4 million domains are getting registered per month. So there is much chance that you will not find the domain name that you wanted. So just for this case, have some good backup for this. Try and think at least 3 names before searching on the internet. So if you will not get your first choice, you still have two more back-ups.

It’s not always necessary that you should choose your business’s name as your domain name. Even you can choose the name as the functional area of your business. Suppose you are having a company XYZ which deals in outsourcing, so it’s good to have a domain name with XYZ but even you can choose domain name related to outsourcing also.

6. Consider privacy policy and trademark names

Even though there is much dispute over the legality in the internet world, but even one can easily take you to the court if you have done any copyright violations. Even though they will not win but at least they can cut your pockets. So don’t register such domain which has a legal issue and not even a part of your domain name. Always register unique names.

I have seen several people registering the plural form of popular brand or with some modification with it. Like one of the most popular domain names on the internet is www.google.com, people register googler.com or agoogle.com. This is a bad practice. And any brand will not want such fishing with their brand names. So try to avoid such situations.

The Importance of a Domain Name for Your Small Business

By Ashutosh Jha → Wednesday, April 11, 2018

If your business is to have an effective online presence, you need a business domain name. If you don’t have one yet, people may be looking for your business without success. Most consumers look online first to find the products or services they want. If your business does not have a strong online presence, you might as well be invisible. When you buy domain presence, you have an established address that will take consumers straight to your website.

What Your Business Gets

When your website is built on a domain name, you are open for business 24/7 even if your brick and mortar doors are only open from nine to five. Potential customers can get the information they need about your products or services at any time including your phone number and location.

Protection

When you have private domain registration, your personal information is protected. Your business will not get spam emails and you can rest assured that your personal information will not be misused. You are the registrant for your domain name and have control. There are other security measures that go along with private domain registration.

Your Own Email Address

It is much more professional to have a business email address that to use a free email service. People will contact your business through info@yourbusinessname or sales@yourbusinessname.

Online Shoppers

The majority of people who have a PC, tablet or smartphone shop online and the numbers are growing every day. Even if you don’t have an online shop yet, you can create one when you are ready if you have a registered domain name. This will allow you to compete with larger businesses and corporations nationally and globally.

Choosing a Domain Name

There are several things to consider when selecting a domain name. Obviously, the name you want needs to be available. Some general guidelines are:

• Keep it as short as possible
• Make it relevant to the type of business you are
• Make it memorable
• Choose the right domain extension
• Consider numbers and dashes

What Is an Extension?

An extension is the part of your domain name that comes after the dot. The most common is .com, but there is also .biz, .org, .net and more. If you are able to get .com for your domain name, it is recommended to buy the .net and .org also. Since people don’t always type the correct extension, these can be directed to your website too.

Important Aspect of Domain Name

Now as you know the different terminologies of a domain name, let’s see what all precautions you should take while selecting the best domain name for your business.

Here are some of the important things you should consider while selecting the domain name for your business-

• Make it short and readable
• Try avoiding the numbers in the domain name
• It should not be the trademark name of any other company
• Try registering the TLDs (. com/.net/.org) unless you are going local or specific niche like AI

For more details on how to select the best domain name, you can check our other domain related articles as well.

If you are planning to start a business or already own a small business but don’t have a domain name yet, your best option is to get one as soon as you can.

5 Best Techniques to Increase Domain Authority (DA) of a Website

By Ashutosh Jha → Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Getting traffic to a website is the most important task for any blogger and webmaster. As traffic depends on many factors, most of us work on SEO mainly, which includes both on page optimization and off page optimization to pull traffic from search engines.

SEO helps a lot to gain initial traffic from search engines and make your website popular. But the old content and optimization techniques won't help you to get traffic in the long run.

So now what? 

Here come Domain Authority and Page Rank in the picture. Since Google has stopped updating Page Rank now and so Domain Authority has become one of the most important factors that decide the quality of a blog or websites. Now bloggers mainly focus on increasing domain authority.

Domain Authority (DA) is a metrics that has been developed by MOZ. It is one of the most popular parameters of SEO. The higher the DA, the more you will get ranked in search engines and hence the more traffic you get.

But domain authority is not something that you can increase in a day or week. As you know, this is critical for ranking, and so many factors have been considered while deciding DA. If you work on all those, definitely you will get higher domain authority.

So now the obvious question is how to increase domain authority? 

In this guide, I am going to tell you the five most important steps to increase domain authority of a website. But before going to those steps to increase domain authority, let me tell you few facts about domain authority.

Domain Authority (DA)

The term DA is a self-explanatory word which decides the popularity of a domain. Below are the few facts about domain authority which will help you to understand domain authority better.

1. DA is based on many factors like the link profile such as how many links are pointing to your website.

2. You can't increase domain authority in a day or week. It takes time but if you will follow my approach, you can get higher domain authority.

3. MOZ updates domain authority frequently. A couple of months ago they updated the domain authority and TricksRoad's DA got increased from 19 to 23. So if you will work on increasing domain authority, you will get the result quickly.

4. Domain authority is scaled between 1 and 100 and depending upon the parameters your website can have any value between 1 and 100. Gaining a DA of 100 is tough. Sites like Facebook, Google, and Twitter are having DA number of 100. But don't get disappointed if you are not hitting 100.

So how to increase your Domain Authority?

How to Improve Domain Authority

How to improve domain authority of a blog or website is a very common question that is being asked. So in this article, I am going to give you an answer to this question- How you can increase domain authority of a website.

To increase the domain authority of a website first, you should take care of the link profile of the site. Here I mean to say you should do the below two things-

1. Remove Bad Links pointing to your website: Here you should remove the bad links pointing to your website. Bad links can harm your SEO and so need to consider immediately. You can take help of online tools to check the links to your site.

2. Get High-quality links: Obviously, as we know links plays a critical role in SEO. So try to get as many high-quality links as possible. You can do this in a couple of ways. Either you can hire an agency to do this. But this method is bit costly and have risks. The second method is creating high-quality contents and those contents which are shareable and linkable. This can include interviews, expert roundups, guest posts, etc. These kinds of posts are highly shareable and linkable. This second method is completely white hat technique, and there is hardly a chance of getting penalized.

How to increase Domain Authority of a Website? - 5 Best Techniques

So now have a look at the five best methods to increase the domain authority of a website.

1. Gain high-quality links

This is the very first and critical step to increase domain authority. High-quality links will not only help you to increase the domain authority but also it will help you to get higher rank in search engine. There are many ways using which you can get high-quality links. For example, you can write a guest post on some high PR and DA blogs. Also, you can get some quality links from the well-established forums. You can read my article how to get best from forums for more details. Even you can ask your fellow bloggers to give you links.

But again beware while creating links and you should not create low-quality links as that will decrease the authority and SERP of your blog. If you have low-quality links then immediately you need to work to get those removed. 

2. Create Linkable & Shareable Contents

This has a direct impact on the domain authority. DA directly depends on your content. Increasing DA is indirectly related to content marketing, and for content marketing, you should have linkable and shareable content so that others should get attracted to share your articles and even other bloggers should use your article link on their blog for reference. 

If you are writing articles that have enough information and are well structured then even, it can appear in Google news. What best else can happen apart from this. Sometimes ago I wrote a complete guide on How to make money from a blog. Here I listed around 21 proven methods of earning as a blogger and it was a 2100+ words guide which was shared by a lot of bloggers. 

Like this, you should also try to write a complete guide which anyone can follow and be sure to get lots of links and share. This is going to help a lot while increasing DA of your blog.

3. Deep Internal Linking

Increasing DA of a blog or website completely depends on the SEO of a website. It almost considers all the parameters of the search engine optimization. As we know, SEO consists of both on page optimization and off page optimization. On the page, optimization includes well-formed URL, Title of the post, Meta Tag, Description and internal article linking. Internal linking plays a vital role in on-page SEO optimization of a blog. Also, it increases the page views and average time per page views as you are giving your readers some solid reason by providing different good quality articles for reading through internal linking.

Off-page optimization includes link building (this is the example of internal linking), social sharing, etc. When you are building any website or writing a new post, make sure you are linking your internal pages/old blog posts to each other. By this way, you are telling Google that all your internal pages and posts are equally important and this will help you to rank well. Below I am listing some checkpoints which you can follow while interlinking the posts- 

1. Interlink your pages and posts with relevant keywords. As you can see in this article, I have done. 

2. Use a different variation of keywords while interlinking. Make sure you are not using the same anchor tag again and again. 

3. Don't only link your pages and posts. Also, try to link few external high-quality pages and posts. For example, you are writing an article about "How to create a website" and you found someone else has written a quality post then give a link as a reference. Make sure you are only linking high-quality sites for external links. 

4. Also, make sure all the links that you have used are working properly.

4. Regularly Remove Bad Links

If you are frequent to social media, you must have seen many bloggers and webmasters complaining about the unusual traffic and links from some spam sites or irrelevant sites. This traffic and links decrease your SERP and hence the authority as well. 

The best ways to get protected from such types of issues are continuously tracking your site. You can do Blog Audit for this. Don't worry you can do blog Audit for FREE as well with the help of internet marketing tools like Ahrefs, GSA, etc.

Analyze all your backlinks and traffic source thoroughly and if you find any unusual traffic or links, remove it immediately. There are couple of ways using which you can get those links removed very quickly- 

1. On some websites, you will find a link, "Request to remove". Fill that form and request to take off your blog's link. 

2. E-mail to the owner of the blog or website, explain the issue and request to remove the links. By this way, you can be safe from any penalty from search engines. 

Also by doing periodic link cleaning, you'll gain a huge benefit. This is something that many bloggers and webmasters don't do. Many bloggers do only when they receive a message in webmaster tool. So don't wait for the Google to tell you/penalize you, do quick scanning frequently.

5. Patient! Domain Age Matters a Lot

Domain age also affects the domain authority and higher the domain age the high domain authority you will receive if you have good SEO. Domain age doesn't come more in the picture, but it does affect the domain authority. I have seen many old areas having very high DA. But again this is subjected to the above conditions.
