You should use archive.org or archive.today links.
The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.
You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.
And a bookmarklet for archive.today:
javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.
I have a theory that the random handful of downvotes that tend to happen on a perfectly good post. On some mobile clients, it is really easy to accidentally downvote something with a gesture while scrolling. If you aren’t paying attention, you won’t even notice it.
Definitely another possibility. I know I’ve hit the buttons unintentionally before myself.
I just thought this was a good time to mention that if there was an intent behind it, like with the 2 commenters here, that it would be more productive to let the poster know rather than to assume they know why they’re being downvoted in those cases. It just helps both parties.
