What it is, why it's helpful and if it's even real. So if you're been studying SEO for any period of time you're likely to have come across the phrase Domain Authority. It's a term coined by Moz, the SEO software company, and they use it as a metric of a site's ability to rank against its competitors. But while many swear that the concept of Domain Authority is real, many more assert there's no evidence such a thing exists.
