Why did Domain Authority go up so much? Did you change your measurement?
-
Our Domain Authority has been at 42 or 43 for a couple months and it just increased to 54. Why did this happen?
I would like to think that it is because of out SEO and linkbuilding work. However, I suspect something else may be involved because the 3 competitors we track also all increased between 10 to 25 points at the same time.
What happened? Did you make changes in the way you score DA or is this the result of changes in what pages you crawl? Or what?
-
Yes, SEOmoz did change the way they calculate DA and PA. That blog post (and the other referenced in it) give a lot of the background information that'll help explain things for you.
For this update and future updates, I'm going to have a Q&A discussion question that also alerts people to these types of changes, as I know not everyone has a chance to read the blog for those notices.

No link data for my domains + still no adwords data
All 3 sites In my campaign have no link data analysis done. 5 to 6 months after you said you were working on it Adwords data is still not available in Keyword analysis Partial service is understandable for a few days but not for months. Beyond the nice screens, what data & services do you exactly provide and what are we paying for?

Campaign Domain "change" (www. vs no www.)
Hello, I'm tracking a domain (with www.thespin.be) since months. Last week we changed things related to domain & server and now SEOmoz has 0 pages crawled. I think that's because now my main domain is without www. (thespin.be). How can I modify my campaign to reflect this "change" (that's not really a new domain..) to avoid losing all my campaign history ? Also, on Google Webmaster Tools it's like I have 2 different sites (one with www. and another without), although I've defined my favorite domain (without www.) months ago.. Google won't update its index. And I have this problem on several other sites.. Thank you very much for giving me a feedback. Regards Jean-Louis

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?

Authority On Authority Question
Hi, What does it mean when seomoz shows our domain authority as 43, but our homepage authority as 52 or higher? More recently, the two used to be roughly comparable at around 52. Maybe it doesn't matter, but it did change and it makes me curious. Thanks!

How to crawl the whole domain?
Hi, I have a website an e-commerce website with more than 4.600 products. I expect that Seomoz scan check all url's. I don't know why this doesn't happens. The Campaign name is Artigos para festa and should scan the whole domain festaexpress.com. But it crels only 100 pages I even tried to create a new campaign named Festa Express - Root Domain to check if it scans but had the same problem it crawled only 199 pages. Hope to have a solution. Thanks,

Do you pay much attention to Bing and Yahoo?
I'm enjoying seeing my reports filter in for my campaigns. One of the things that I am noticing is that there are many keywords that I have top ten rankings for Google.com, but 3rd or 4th page on Bing and Yahoo. I know most traffic comes from Google, but I'm wondering if I should put some effort into optimizing for Bing and Yahoo. Any tips on how to make my site more attractive to these search engines?
