186+ List of High Domain Authority Sites To Get DoFollow Backlinks!

In order to excel in higher rankings in Google & other search engines, a spot-on strategy is a must!

The major task is to build trusted high DA (Domain Authority) dofollow backlinks and have a high quality of engaging content on your website.

The days of running spammy and low-quality backlinks are long gone. Furthermore, Google has also stopped updating the public Toolbar PageRank.

Until 2018, there were some popular and easy ways to create free dofollow backlinks such as –

1. Forum Posting
2. Links From Forum Signatures
3. Discussion Boards
4. Question and Answer Websites like Yahoo, Stack Overflow, etc.
5. Social bookmarking
6. Blog Directories
7. RSS directories
8. CSS directories
9. Commenting on other blog websites.

But now, they are not very effective! Especially after recent updates in –

1. Google’s Core Algorithm, and
2. Google’s Mobile-First Indexing.

So now, the question is: What do we do to get high-quality backlinks?

Well, there are a few great options open yet, among them is to improve a website’s ranking by improving its TrustRank.

As to improving the TrustRank, it wouldn’t be wrong if I will suggest you take the opportunity to fully utilize the social media platforms.

I bet that in the name of social media, most of you are absolutely relying on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.

But guess what? There is more to it!

A massive list of high DA (Domain Authority) sites with a DA rank of about 30-90 are waiting for you to come and hang up your website links onto them.

Surprising, isn’t it?

Today, you are going to explore free dofollow backlinks sites that are open to accepting a guest post submission on their platform.

Target your niche that has Domain Authority of 30+ and more and increases your Domain’s Trust.

That said, you are free to contribute your guest post on TheMaverickSpirit. 🙂

But before that, you should understand – What are high-quality backlinks or high authority backlinks anyway?

What are High-Quality Backlinks or High Authority Backlinks Anyway?

A high-quality backlink or high authority backlink is comprised of several factors listed below –

1. Domain Authority or Trusted Source

If your website is getting a dofollow backlink from a website with high domain authority, then there is a good chance that Google will promote your website rankings in search results.

Link juice from a high DA website definitely affects and boosts your website’s Google ranking.

2. Uniqueness

One of the effective strategies to get a high-quality backlink from a source your competitor can’t.

Natural links from relevant and authoritative websites that only links to you and not your competitor can really make a huge difference.  

Examples of such kinds of links are the links obtained from conferences, events, and company websites.

3. Sends Traffic

One of the significant goals of searching and building backlinks is to drive more and more traffic to your website via relevant sources.

Therefore, always try/target to get backlinks from websites with higher traffic, active readership, and a decent amount of social following.  

4. Non-Commercial and Non-Sponsored Rich Anchor Text

The quality of a backlink increases if the anchor text of your link is your target keyword (a keyword you want to rank for).

Obviously, Google will penalize you, if it discovers plenty of links with the same anchor text during backlink analysis.

Therefore, always use synonyms or semantic words and phrases for your target keyword as anchor text.

5. From a Relevant Source

Google and other search engines consider relevancy as one of the significant factors while evaluating a backlink’s quality or authority.

Therefore, always try to find backlinks from websites in the same niche or same subject as your website.

Google considers the overall relevance of the linking website.

6. In-Content (from a blog or content page)

In-content links appearing in the main content area or at the beginning of the article or page (somewhere in the introduction) are considered to be more valuable than a link on the sidebar, footer, or down the page.

7. Next to Backlinks to Authority Websites

If your backlink is included in a web page that links to high-authority websites and shares the same niche as you!

Then, Google is also going to mark your website as a high authority website.

8. From a different source to your existing backlinks

A new link to your website from a website that hasn’t linked to you is more valuable than getting another link from a domain that has already linked to you.

9. Not Reciprocal

Link exchange is not considered a best practice for SEO backlinks.

However, if the link is relevant and natural, then it won’t be considered abuse.  

10. Not paid for (Non-Sponsored)

Paid links may increase your backlinks in total, but cannot be considered as a high-quality backlinks.

Never go for paid links, as you might end up getting penalized for violating Google’s guidelines for high PR backlinks.

FAQs Related to High Domain Authority Websites

1. How Do You Determine High-Quality Backlinks?

A high-quality backlink is a link that comes from a website –

1. That has a high domain authority (DA) score, and
2. Trusted by both search engines (robots) and users (actual people).

2. What is a Good Domain Authority Score?

DA score of more than 30+ is considered a good domain authority score.

3. Does Google Use Domain Authority?

Not exactly.

There are multiple factors that Google’s Core Ranking Algorithm and Domain Authority share!

But, Domain authority is not one of the ranking factors in Google’s Algorithm.

Domain Authority is a metric evaluated by Moz.

4. What Matters More: Backlink Quality or Quantity?

Well, I am gonna choose quality over quantity.

Getting a backlink from a high-authority website is far better than multiple links from low-authority websites.

5. Why Backlinks Are Important For SEO? Do Backlinks Still Work in 2019?

Backlinks are important for SEO for a very simple reason. It is still one of the significant Google ranking factors from the last few years.

But Google’s algorithm is always changing and it has not started to differentiate between bad links and good links.

6. What Makes a Page Relevant?

You might see a website ranking higher on Google with no links and lower domain authority.

The reason behind this is Google is now looking for user satisfaction.

It looks for parameters like CTR, average stay time, and bounce rate to determine what websites are satisfying users the most.

Google also considers spam-free and other similar metrics apart from the above metrics to evaluate page relevancy.  

7. Does Domain Authority Affect SEO?

Not exactly. As most of the domain authority metric factors are the same as Google’s algorithm, so it’s natural to say that it does, but in reality, Domain authority has no role in Google Rankings.

In fact, you might see a website ranking with low domain authority and the reason is it might have been earning points for fulfilling other Google ranking factors.

8. How Can I Check the Quality of Backlinks?

The quality of a dofollow backlink can be determined by several factors. Below are some significant ones –

1. Domain Authority.
2. Optimized Anchor Text.
3. The link must be natural and non-sponsored.
4. Social signs of the website (Reputation).
