Most of us have heard of Domain Authority or have seen it abbreviated as DA. It's usually followed by a number which shows the level of the domain authority such as DA73. Currently the highest domain authority a website can have is DA100 and that's mainly because you can't really go above 100% and the scale 1 to 100 is pretty simple for anyone to understand.
Moz had a domain authority metric which basically is an aggregated score which measures how big of an authrity, or how strong, your website is compared to your competition and pretty much any other website out there. You can check your competitors domain authority to check and see what you will have to overcome in the SERPs (search engine results pages) and how difficult the journey would be. For example, if you're a DA20 and your competitor is a DA70 then you have a big gap between you and them and it'll be pretty tough. It can be done, but it will take time and a good amount of effort. I would suggest targeting low competition keywords until you can increase your domain authority and then go after the more difficult keywords when you bridge the DA gap.
Another great thing about domain authority is that it can help you determine if you should try and obtain a backlink from that website. Lower DA sites won't boost you as much in the SERPs as a high DA site. This is due to the higher DA website linking to you giving you basically what is seen as a vote. It's like the site is saying "Hey Google! These guys are pretty awesome!"
To increase your own domain authority you'll need to target other high DA websites and get your links on there. You'll most likely have to do this manually since a lot of the better websites will have spam guards in place which will stop any kind of software from posting. Just post great content and build your profile over time, then get some links into your posts and you shouldn't get banned

When it comes to checking DAs I usually go with Moz or Ahrefs, but have very good metrics algorithm and you can figure out pretty easily how much weight a website or a page haves. Domain Authority metrics has started to appear after Google Page Rank was put to death, as long as we had Google Page Rank up and running few metrics were around and few people trusted anything but Page Rank. Hell, even now there are people looking to buy "High PR backlinks" or SEO freelancers offering such services stating that they offer high quality backlinks with top PR.
