How to increase Domain Authority?
One of the simple way which people things is backlinks, with backlinks you can’t buy or steal Domain Authority.
It needs a great strategy and unique quality content and lots of sincere effort to increase authority.

Remember this golden rule: Content is King.
Content is a thing from which you can engage visitors to your site, and you shouldn’t compromise on content. You can use infographics, images, GIFs, slides and videos to make your content more viral, informative and interesting.
2. Better use informative pictures
A Picture can say what words can’t explain. Also, a good article should have a good length. A good length means more than ~700 words.
Longer articles are considered as more informative and understandable. Your website will definitely suffer from lower ranking and traffic if you publish short or non-meaningful content. Try to add at-least 3 or 4 high quality images for readers.

non-relevant thingsunrelated to your main subject. Just focus on main topic. - Try to write and publish content like professional.
