Don't worry about DA, it's just a "scorecard" to give you an idea of how good your website is.
The best thing you can do is this.
1. Concentrate on a page to rank
2. List out your keywords for that page
3. Do some good on page SEO,
4. Then do some ethical back linking
It's all about where your page ranks, no other metric is that important.

The question I ask is why are you looking to increase DA? DA isn't a good metric to help rank, so am I to assume that you are looking to sell links based on DA etc?
Tell us what you really want to achieve by having a higher DA, and maybe we can give you better advice.
To answer your question though, buy a link from a high DZ site, and you'll get it. DA is so easy to fake

I meant to add.
I'm starting a new website
This is what I have done so far...
1. Looked for my keywords
2. Did my research in AHREFS
3. Then I went to SEOsurfer.com to help me write the salescopy
4. Now I am just starting to build backlinks
I do like to look at the DR in AHREFS but its just an indicator to say a 3rd party is starting to rate me, nothing more than that.

None of this is going to help.
Start by researching your target persona to determine the type of question they will ask. Create content that answers those questions. Rinse and repeat. Put all this on the website with trust marks, calls to action, contact details, referrals, testimonials and reviews.
Don't worry about DA. Google doesn't take any notice of this score.

I view DA and DR relatively the same way since both are anchored towards SEO. Although DR is more on the backlinking profile and DA is essentially a way to gauge how a website will rank on SERPs, the methods you would usually do in improving your site would affect both of them.
A lot of the blogposts on ahrefs are not just DR-related as they discuss a lot of link-building methods, content creation & curation, and along with the courses available by Google themselves, I'd say it'd be a solid combination.

And both are inaccurate methods of measuring anything. Your ranking is not related to DA or DR. Ignore both.

Read the article carefully. It you don’t you will end up focusing on the wrong thing. DA doesn’t matter. Neil says so in the article.

I should have said 'doesn't write most of his own content' not any, as he might write the odd piece.

Rand Is a personal friend of mine, and sadly he moved to the dark side years ago when he started getting into bed with Google.
There are two types of SEO/internet marketers.
1. those who carry out SEO either for clients and themselves (as no good seo can resist earning from their own sites)
2. those who are 'celebrity' SEO's who simply market the company, sell goods and services but don't touch the coal face.

Maybe the easiest but also one of the most ineffective. Google ignores DA and almost all guest blog posts. The ones that do have value are really difficult to get. You need to nurture a relationship and be recognised as an authority before you are allowed to add your post. And even then Google my just regard the links as a bit of self promotion.

I suppose he has become more of a brand than the person giving the advice. I read his resources relatively often but never get all that far with them.
A thought on raising DA, just be careful of where you read your score. I use SEMrush for my SEO, it's a great tool, but it gives a significantly lower DA for my website than other tools.
If you check your site against competitors your DA will show you who seemingly has the stronger backlink profiles. While Google doesn't look at your DA, it is looking for trustworthy, relevant websites to show the user. An authoritative website will rank well if it has built this trust, so focus on creating keyword-rich content that answers your audience's questions.

And like many such systems easy to fake. I got a Toolbar PR10 for a domain that was 3 months old, it was simple.
1. buy domain
2. set a 301 redirect to Yahoo.com (PR10)
3. wait for toolbar PR export
4. remove 301 and bask in the fake PR10 my new website had

I know this as I have written content and produced links for him.Neil is a marketer and not an SEO, his brand of SEO is out of touch, and he doesn't actually write any of his 'own' content
Consider that before making decisions

Yet another reason to ignore DA:

I'm not convinced by the argument there really.
He seems to say that Google are saying they don't have a notion of page authority but that they do understand site authority which transfers in some way to page authority!
This is a consistent theme from Google, basically they don't want us to understand how they rank
pages because then they could be gamed so they lay false trails.
In the absence of verifiably true information from Google then we are left with needing some form of proxy so if people want to use DA/DR or number of pink bunnies then that's fine by me!
