Can I track the Domain MozRank over time?
-
I got my pro account a few months ago and now wondering if the Domain MozRank has changed much since when I first started. How can I see this?
-
I'm excited to see where you guys are taking PA & DA. I'm sure it will only continue to improve and as a baseline metric for evaluating a site it is already incredibly useful.
I just think it needs to be made crystal clear that comparing the PA & DA of today to the PA & DA of last month, last quarter, or last year truly is apples and oranges and this will only become more true as SEOMoz improves these metrics going forward.

Rand also mentions something similar in his blog post from a few days ago at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/linkscape-september-update-feedback.
What to Expect in the Next 3 Months
We're releasing a new version of PA + DA that are likely to be much better correlated with Google rankings (giving a superior metric to judge the ranking potential of sites/pages). This might, however, result in some sites + pages rising or falling dramatically. My best advice here is to use your competitors and industry cohorts as a bar for comparison rather than just looking at the raw numbers over time (since the metric itself is changing, a "40" in October might not mean what a "40" means today).

Check out my response to a similar question from last month:
"Keep in mind that the DA metric has changed over time not only because of your SEO efforts but due to the Linkscape index growing and changing over time as well. This means if you compare today's DA to DA last year it's apples and oranges because so many more links and URLs have been indexed since then and different weights have been given to existing links in the index.
DA is most useful as a link building metric and even then it is purely relative.
You probably already know this, but just in case you don't I would focus on organic search traffic in GA - what keywords are driving traffic and conversions on your site - as the main metric for gauging your site's success.
If you haven't already, drink Avinash's Kool-Aid!"

Would be awesome if you could.

Hi Matthew,
It is not possible to see changes in Domain Authority over time in your Pro App. If you have downloaded reports from Open Site Explorer or the Keyword Difficulty Tool for your site over time you could lift the DA from your reports and consolidate them in excel to create a chart.
If you would like to see a history of your DA in the Pro App, you could ask the Moz staff to consider adding it by lodging a feature request
Hope that helps,
Sha

You can't.

Why has a .cleaning domain not been indexed on Google?
One of our clients domain names is http://companyname.cleaning I've done all of the on-page SEO, submitted a sitemap to Google and am currently monitoring the analytics and data on MozPro. The next scheduled update on domain authority is the 21st of July? We must have had this on since April, the website was most likely launched at the end of March. Is it normal to wait this long for a site to be indexed and the domain authority to rise?

What is the best way to track our rank vs competitors?
I have 181 keywords that I have been asked to track rank on. So first I will track against our url then our competitors. With a 250 word limit will that count for every url I want to track? Is there any other way to do this than using rank tracker?

Confused on setting up my domain in a campaign
I have a website that is www.example.com. When I first setup my campaign in SEOMoz, I missed the instructions that stated I need to set up my domain as it appeared in the browser. Thus, I set it up as example.com. When I realized my mistake, I setup a second campaign as www.example.com and am running them side by side to see the differences. My question has to do with the best setup. I have a blog that is a subdomain as blog.example.com. It appears that the www.example.com campaign is not crawling the blog pages but example.com is. Are there any downsides in setting up this campaign as example.com? I have a number of other sites with the same issue so would like to get this resolved before I setup the additional sites. Thanks for any assistance or insights into ways I may be "shooting myself in the foot" with the wrong domain structure in my campaign settings.

Can I exclude a sub-domain from SEOMoz campaigns?
We have recently implemented a white label site that is on a sub-domain. The site employs noindex on most of the pages I imagine due to duplicate content concerns on other white label versions of the site. It has led to a spike of over 14 thousand notices on our report. Is there a way to exclude a sub-domain from the SEOMoz scans and reports?

MozRank: Still valid after Panda?
So I'm trying to quantify some of our drops and I suspect that we've taken some hits on lower quality links (some reciprocals, etc). The problem is most of the metrics I've relied on to help weed out the bad ones seem irrelevant after Panda. So I'm curious, has anyone taken mozRank to task after Panda? Is it still a good metric on valuable links?
