Lower PA and DA but ranking at #5
-
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me suss out what I'm missing here. There are two issues that have me pretty confused.
#1: Ubersuggest is correctly indicated a ranking for this web page while it's not mentioned anywhere in Moz as a ranking keyword.
#2: The page is ranking at #5 on page 1 for this search term and beating out the likes of rollingstone.com and other 90+ DA and 50+ PA results while only having a PA 15 and DA 22.
My concern here is that I'm missing out on other rankings that might actually be attainable.

Hi there!
For your first query, it sounds like you're looking at Keyword Explorer Ranking Keywords - is that right? If so, I would note that while our database is quite large, it doesn't contain all keywords for all locations. This is why it's common for folks to use a range of tools as each will have a slightly different database with different strengths to do their keyword research.
In regards to your second query, I would echo Alick300's reply, that the thread they shared is a wealth of information.
Basically PA and DA indicate the likelihood that a page or domain will rank. However what page will actually rank for any given search is really up to the search engine algorithm, they consider a while array of factors, to do with on-page and off-page optimization. relevancy and authority.
We've got a very comprehensive guide to DA which I strongly recommend.
I hope this helps to clarify!

Can building quality links on internal pages help us to improve DA?
Dear expert,
Moz Bar | | jhfdbeaob
I hope that you all are fine 🙂
Today, I am very confused about improving DA of my client website. For example: He has a domain www.abc.com
and he wants me to build a backlinks on different internal pages like
www.abc.com/service-1
www.abc.com/service-2
www.abc.com/service-3 If i build high quality links on internal pages (service pages) rather than building links on main domain (home page). Does the Domain Authority will increase
OR
I have to build links on Main page to boost the DA I am hoping a positive reply from your side Thanks1 -

In Moz Medium Pro how many pages can you track for keyword rankings at a time? I know you can track up to 50 in Standard.
I would possibly like to upgrade my subscription from Standard to Medium because I want to be able to track more pages in Rank Tracker. Unfortunately, the product descriptions do not include how many pages you can track in Rank Tracker.

Moz ranking report shows massive loss in Bing SERP's. But it is not the case?
My weekly ranking report shows massive loss of SERP's on Bing. For most keywords I was no longer in the top 50 which where first top 5. But when I checked it out for myself, I'm still ranked top 5 for these keywords. I then used the Moz Rank Tracker and there it also says I'm still ranking top 5 for these keywords. What should I believe now?
