Up until last time, the general concepts of SEO for SEO marketing. SEO marketing should be viewed from a long-term perspective. To achieve top rankings in search engine results through sustainable SEO optimization, it is necessary to continuously manage and monitor website rankings to ensure that our site is properly optimized.
Following up on subdomains and subfolders from last time, today I will explain how to check if a website is being properly SEO optimized through domain scores and traffic for website rankings, as well as tools that help measure SEO campaigns.
Website rankings
Website ranking refers to the popularity of our website and where it ranks among all other websites. It is possible to monitor website rankings through domain scores and traffic.
Website Ranking Measurement – Domain Score (Domain Authority)
Domain Authority (DA) is an important metric that significantly impacts Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It indicates a website's authority and credibility. It is calculated based on various factors, including inbound links (backlinks), content quality, and domain usage duration. A high domain score signifies that a website has a higher potential to rank in search results.
Components of the domain score
The domain score is the result of the combination of various factors and reflects the overall quality and reliability of a website. Therefore, website operators and marketers must continuously improve and optimize these components to obtain a higher domain score.
- Quality and Quantity of Backlinks: The score is determined by the number and quality of backlinks from external sites.
- Domain Age: Older domains can receive a higher score.
- Content Quality: The domain score is also affected by the quality of the website's content.
- Social Media Activity: Social media activity related to the website is also a scoring factor. For example, the number of shares, likes, and followers help indicate the domain's online authority.
The Importance of Domain Scores
1) Improve search engine rankings
The higher the domain score, the greater the likelihood of achieving a higher ranking in search engines. This increases the website's visibility, enabling it to attract more visitors and potential customers.
2) Increase in credibility and authority
A high domain score indicates that the website is trustworthy and authoritative in its field. As a result, users place greater trust in the website's information or services.
3) Recognition of content value
The domain score reflects the quality of a website's content. High-quality content refers to providing useful and original information related to the website's subject matter. For example, a blog post explaining the domain score should include its definition, importance, measurement methods, and ways to improve it. The domain score is a crucial factor in a website's success. Therefore, a high domain score informs users that the content provided by the website is valuable and useful.
4) Effects of building links
Backlinks from websites with high domain scores are a significant help to the SEO of other websites. Therefore, establishing partnerships and links with websites that have high domain scores is very important.
5) Advertising and Partnership Opportunities
A high domain score brings more opportunities to advertisers and partners. Advertisers want to place ads on websites with high domain scores, and partners seek opportunities for collaboration.
A tool to check domain score and authority
Domain scores and authority can be easily checked through various tools. First, you can check them in Moz Link Explorer
Tool for determining domain scores – MOZ
Moz is a tool that analyzes SEO-related website components and structure in real time. It helps increase traffic, rankings, and visibility in search results.
The domain score increases with the number of inbound links. While useful for assessing a website's recognition and credibility, it is difficult to gauge current performance due to the slow pace of updates. We recommend using Moz to compare campaign performance before and after a link-building campaign.
Measuring Domain Authority via Ahrefs
Ahrefs is a tool that provides comprehensive data on keywords, backlinks, organic traffic, paid traffic, and more.
Ahrefs has its own website authority metric called Domain Rating. This metric is displayed on a scale from 0 to 100. The higher a website's Domain Rating (DR), the more powerful and authoritative it is.
Website Ranking Measurement – Traffic Ranking
Website rankings by traffic
You can easily check website rankings through traffic. SimilarWebis helpful to find out our website's ranking worldwide.

Today, I introduced a tool that allows you to measure website rankings and monitor whether your website is being exposed well in search engines.
