What exactly is website authority in SEO ranking?

Mon, 04 May 2026 06:17:47 +0000

What exactly is website authority in SEO ranking?

I hear this everywhere: "you have an authority issue."

But nobody explains what it actually means or how it works.

Is it defined by backlinks? If so, what kind link? traffic-sending backlinks, or just mentions/citations scattered across the web?

Or is website authoritysimply about having a high DR (Domain Rating) and similar metrics? I know they are third party but still asking...

Can anyone explain website authority in simple terms?

Lost all my blogging content due to the Cpanel hack in April of 2026?

Sun, 03 May 2026 07:00:38 +0000

Lost all my blogging content due to the Cpanel hack in April of 2026?

A few days ago, I lost all my content on my blog due to the Cpanel attack that got in and wiped out my entire server.

I had a blog that was 10 years old and they wiped it completely out, but thankfully I had another backup of the files and database in cloud storage.

That was a good thing, because even the host who had my site backed up, had the backup server compromised.

The website was restored, but was also corrupt.

If using Cpanel, make sure you update to the latest version to keep it secure.
