Difference between page/domain authority
-
could anyone explain the difference between Page Authority and Domain Authoity to me or give me a link to a site where it is explained?
Sorry if It's really obvious and I'm just too stupid to find out, but I've searched and haven't found anything.

Domain Authority is based on the strength of the whole domain while Page Authority is based on the strength of the individual page.
Here are the full explanations:

Hi,
I was searching for the answer to this too and found this:
Domain Authority predicts how well a web page will rank on a domain. The higher the Domain Authority, the greater the potential for an individual page on that domain to rank well.
Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank.
You can use Domain Authority and Page Authority to quickly target pages and websites that have the best potential to perform well in search engine results pages.
It's important to note that both Domain Authority and Page Authority are on a 100-point, logarithmic scale. Thus, it's much more difficult to grow your score from 70 to 80 than it would b to grow from 20 to 30.
Behind the scenes, Domain and Page Authority scores are calculated using SEOmoz's Ranking Models work. In essence, we analyze rankings data from the search engines and then and build a predictive scoring system using our own on-page analyses and Linkscape link data.
You can see these metrics in action by checking out our Open Site Explorer tool.
Hope it helps

Google Analytics not Working on all pages despite many attempts
Hey gang, So this problem has been going on for months. None of our landing pages track, but all of our blog pages do. I've tried GA plugins, (we are on wordpress) and just now even put the code in the theme header script. Still to no avail. I just checked right now, and the blog pages have the global GA code, but now I noticed not even the home page has the code! Could it be something to do with my theme? I tried to pay a guy on upwork to fix but he couldn't fix it either. Thank you for you help!
