Here are the key indicators: --- ### 1. **Number and quality of backlinks** - **Many links** from **different domains** is a signal of authority. - Links from **topically relevant** and **trustworthy** sites are especially valuable. - Not just "a lot", but a **naturally looking distribution**. --- ### 2. **Domain Rating / Domain Authority (DR/DA)** - Metrics from Ahrefs, Moz, and others that assess a site's overall "weight" based on its link profile. - Growth in DR/DA indicates that a site is becoming more authoritative. --- ### 3. **Growth in brand mentions** - Even without links, when a site or brand is mentioned increasingly often on forums, in media, in blogs, it strengthens recognition and affects reputational signals. --- ### 4. **Growth in social engagement** - Reposts, discussions, quotes, shares on social networks. - Not a direct ranking factor, but Google notices trends and interest around a page. --- ### 5. **Referral traffic** - Visits from other sites show that links are actually working, not just sitting there. - This affects behavioral metrics: time on site, view depth, return visits. --- ### 6. **Link anchor text** - If anchors (link text) contain **relevant keywords**, this strengthens SEO signals. - But it is important to avoid spam and over-optimization. --- If all of this is growing, off-page SEO is not just "pumped up", it is actually working. It is like a good reputation: you don't see it directly, but it affects everything.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator. Helps review go faster.
