DA/PA against PR
-
Hi,
Very quick question.
If the DA/PA of a website is 70/80+ I would assume the PR would be 5+.
I have come across this DA/PA 70/80+ and PR 2.
First is the DA/PA not connected in anyway to PR from the metrics they take into account?
Secondly which one would you go for if you had to choose one:
1. DA/PA 60+ and PR 2
2. DA/PA 30+ and PR 4
Thanks

you're welcome

Thanks,
Also I misunderstood your answer so apologies. Indicator works for me.
Thanks again, very helpful.

DA/PA is a good indicator. Not any more than that though. I didn't say i wouldn't consider it. I said I still maintain that I wouldn't base my decision on it.
Can someone please explain how you would manipulate the PR to be higher then it should be?
The most common way involves 301ing to a higher PR site until it reports the higher value, then removing the redirect. The usual reason for this is to sell links of the fake PR site until the next toolbar PR update.
Worth being aware of.

Greg has hit the nail on the head with this one.
Can someone please explain how you would manipulate the PR to be higher then it should be?
@Mat so you think the DA/PA value is not something to consider when researching a website? Because that kind of puts me in a hole as I use those metrics to give me a rough overview of how power full a website is.
Just so everyone knows I get these kind of mixed metrics a lot when it comes to researching for guest blogging.
I do really need to know if DA/PA can be trusted as a good indicator a website is good or not (For building links).
-
That example is a bit different as it has been faked. PR is often faked on blog networks that are build for link purposes.

I have come across this many times.
Have a look at this one.

I tend to trust Open Site Explorer much more when comparing the two.

SEOMOZ's DA/PA are independently derived figures based on similar concepts to Google's pagerank. The two are totally independent of one another, but there is correlation because of concepts they share.
Secondly which one would you go for if you had to choose one: 1. DA/PA 60+ and PR 2 2. DA/PA 30+ and PR 4
Both
. Actually I wouldn't base my decision on either metric. I'm finding all such metrics to have even more limited value this year. I'd much rather look at the site itself and what links to it.

13 New Quality Back Links But Little Improvement in DA and PA-WHY?
Since September 13 sites have linked to our real estate website. MOZ domain authority of these sites ranks from 45-83. MOZ page authority ranges from 25-36. Six of these links were created in the last 3 weeks. The remainder have been live since Late September/October. Our domain authority has only increased from 18 to 19 since September. Our site has only 805 linking domains. Why has the increase in domain authority been so little? I have read that domain authority it algorithmic and that improving up to 25 is not too difficult. A few notes about the incoming links: -11 of the 13 do not rank for any keywords, 1 ranks for 20 keywords and one ranks for 1 keyword.
Moz Pro | | Kingalan1
-One has 12 inbound links, three have 1 inbound links and the remaining 11 have no inbound links.
-One has 4 linking domains, three have one linking domains and the reaming 11 having no linking domains.
-7 of the 13 are listing in Google Search Console. The remaining 7 are not.
-Only 3 of the 13 are shown as MOZ linking domains to our website.
-Website traffic has increased somewhat since link building began.
-There has was initially some improvement in ranking but that has dropped off. From the metrics above, does anything sound deficient about these links? Is the fact that they are not being picked up by MOZ a negative sign or is it just an indication that MOZ's link index is rather incomplete? How about the fact that the links are not indicated in Google Search Console? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Bad influance for my SEO, because of no existed pages, bad urls and dubble content. Bye bye keywords! Lets analyze/crawl with Moz tool ofcourse ^^: Pages with High Priority Issues: | 2646 | Duplicate Page Content |
| 14 | 4XX Client Error |
| 3 | Crawl Attempt Error |
| 1 | Title Missing or Empty | Medium priority: | 9618 | Temporary Redirect |

Shortly I am going to change my domain provider and the website template in magento. After that I am going to focus on the SEO implementation. First, I have to solve this problem. Who can give me an advice for this situation? Regarding, Newbee0 -
Spam score is 7/17
My site has a spam score of 7/17 and I'm not really sure how this happened - I think maybe when I changed my domain from Wordpress to Bluehost? It's very hard to get my site to rank in Google and I'm getting very few hits through search engines, wondering if the spam score is why? How do I fix this? The flags are: Low MozTrust or MozRank Score

Why did my DA and Links go down?
How could I begin to research this to find out why we have less total links and a lower domain authority. Our DA has gone down two points and our total links dropped by a few thousand. I'd like to find out why that happened but I'm just not sure where to start. Thanks!
