However, Google ranks pages and not websites. So having a goal to improve Domain Rating is too broad and could actually make you lose focus from your true goal of ranking in Google and getting more organic traffic.  <\/p>\n<p>By putting the focus at the website level instead of the page level is like painting your whole house just to make your bathroom look good. It might work to a certain extent, but 90% of your efforts actually have no effect on the end goal.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the things that cause an increase in your website\u2019s authority can help you rank higher in Google. And it all comes down to the main thing responsible for calculating this metric. And that\u2019s links. <\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s expand on Ahrefs\u2019 website authority metric called Domain Rating.<\/p>\n<p>Domain Rating represents the overall strength of a website\u2019s backlink profile. We look at both quantity and quality of the links pointing at a website. It\u2019s plotted on a logarithmic scale from 0 &#8211; 100.<\/p>\n<p>What are the 3 main things that impact this score? <\/p>\n<p>They are:<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba number of unique websites that link to you<br \/>\n\u25ba Domain Ratings of linking domains<br \/>\n\u25ba number of sites the referring website links to with at least one followed link<\/p>\n<p>How do you improve your score?
