Increased Domain Authority from 0 to 20 in 2 months

I increased DA from 0 to 20 for aivideo.to in over just 2 months.

In the process, I've learned so much about SEO. You need to make mundane manual efforts and learn yourself instead of just following any course. SEO takes time but it starts compounding after 2 months.

EDIT: Some of you have asked how, so here are some things I did.

  1. List on AI directories
  1. Add JSON/ld schema to all pages

  2. Cross-post on blogging platforms and social sites.

  3. Optimise for low Difficulty keywords (recommend using Ahrefs $29/mo plan.)

  4. For blog SEO I wrote this tweet

  5. For page indexing I built a free tool index-now.org to index across major search engines (except Google: search console)

I'll be sharing more tips on SEO and Keyword research so stay tuned. I share more on Twitter so you can follow there for every update!

    The main question is why should we care about this metric?

    1. 1

      It kind of correlates with Google's PageRank, which in turn is an important ranking factor that Google stopped publishing like a gazillion years ago. Other than that, it's more of a vanity metric if you don't have your SEO in place.
      Ahrefs' DR and Google's PR are all about a site's backlink profile and nothing else, by the way.

    seems like you posted to promote your products more than be helpful...

        It's good to get traffic. A lot of it is not high value as many people who come from there exploit free trials of AI projects using fake cards and email stuff. So you need to have measures against those.

        However, you do get good traffic and signups, which boosts your website ranking as people visit and spend time on your website. Also, if you offer a free tier then you get the signup metrics boosted.

    Since there is no HOW, this is a clickbait for "aivideo.to."

    Interesting post, but how much traffic do you have on your site?

  9. 1

    10000 backlinks in 2 months? Looks like you bought a lot of spam backlinks from Fiverr.

    Thanks cool.

    I will try this for my website

  11. 1

    DR DA are just vanity metric tbh. How did it affect your traffic and revenue?

  12. 1

    So, you paid a lot of money for this, how much totally?

  13. 1

    Nice to see that but I am confused will it work for my https://onlinevatcalculate.com/ website? Please reply and make it clear to me. I appreciate any help you can provide.

      Since this is not an AI tool, you can list it on non-ai directories. Other steps should work for this too.

  14. 1

    Boosting your domain authority from 0 to 20 in just two months is achievable through strategic link building, quality content creation, and effective SEO practices. Consistently engaging with your audience and optimizing your website can significantly enhance your online credibility and visibility.

    Congrats on the growth! I'll definitely check out your indexing tool too! Looking forward to more tips!

    Pretty cool!!
    What worked for me was this: create massive content and seek to dominate your niche with everything you publish. Go above and beyond.
