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.

@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.
www.becitywise.com/ PR7 DA6!
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.

3 of my clients suddenly lost alexa and DA ranks.
3 of my clients suddenly lost alexa and DA ranks. Websites are active, created more than 10 years ago, and actively updated. About 5000 users each month. What could be the reason? I want to note that we never spam. We do only holistic SEO and write only Unique articles. This looks very strange to me. Any suggestions?

Duplicate Content/Missing Meta Description | Pages DO NOT EXISIT!
Hello all, For the last few months, Moz has been showing us that our site has roughly 2,000 duplicate content errors. Pages that were actually duplicate content, I took care of accordingly using best practice (301 redirects, canonicalization,etc.). Still remaining after these fixes were errors showing for pages that we have never created. Our homepage is www.primepay.com. An example of pages that are being shown as duplicate content is http://primepay.com/blog/%5BLink%20to%20-%20http:/www.primepay.com/en/payrollservices/payroll/payroll/payroll/online-payroll with a referring page of http://primepay.com/blog/%5BLink%20to%20-%20http:/www.primepay.com/en/payrollservices/payroll/payroll/online-payroll. Some of these are even now showing up as 403 and 404 errors. The only real page on our site within that URL strand is primepay.com/payroll or primepay.com/payroll/online-payroll. Therefore, I am not sure where Moz is getting these pages from. Another issue we are having in relation to duplicate content is that moz is showing old campaign url’s tacked on to our blog page i.e. http://primepay.com/blog?title=&page=2&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=blogCTA&utm_campaign=IRSblogpost&qt-blog_tabs=1. As of this morning, our duplicate content went from 2,000 to 18,000. I exported all of our crawl diagnostics data and looked to see what the referring pages were, and even they are not pages that we have created. When you click on these links, they take you to a random point in time from the homepage of our blog; some dating back to 2010. I checked our crawl stats in both Google and Bing’s Webmaster tool, and there are no duplicate content or 400 level errors being reporting from their crawl. My team is truly at a loss with trying to resolve this issue and any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Why has my MozTrust & DA dropped
Hi The company i work for are in the middle of relaunching our product, so during this time we have not been generating much traffic to the site. We are still getting about 800 SEO visits a month, however, as we aren't doing email marketing our site traffic overall has dropped. I have noticed that since October or MozTrust and Domain Authority seems to be dropping. Our DA was at 18 then in the space of a few weeks has dropped to 10. Our Moztrust was at about 3 and now is at 0. Our links to the site seems to be disappearing to according to Moz, however other back linking website are saying they are still there. Could someone maybe shed some light on what i may have done wrong to lose these two things and so quickly. This all happened mid to late October. During the Hummingbird release we were fine! We have also just updated out website with lots of new content. In fact increased it 4x. There are great internal links throughout the site. Thank you

Finding Related Keywords and/or Phrases
I'm diving into unknown territory and looking for keywords and phrases related to a prospective new clients business. He knows some of the general terms, for example, water removal. What tool works best to find related search terms and the number of searches for those keywords/search terms. I usually use the Google Keyword Tool but going to give moz a try. Love to be able to get local search data as well. Thanks!

Rankings reporting showing inaccurate improve/decline/unchanged numbers
Our rankings report is showing inaccurate numbers for the improved, declined, and unchanged summary, both in the email and on the site. According to the added up numbers, we have 315 keywords in the campaign, but that's not possible as we only have 172 set up for it. The total for this section is correct, it just doesn't add up.

Week ending 10/28 - zero organic results?!?!
According to my Google Analytics account - this is not correct - but SEOMoz is reporting on the dashboard that I had a 100% decrease in organic search visits - a paltry zero visits in one week. Is there a known issue or something that SEOMoz is working on?

Campaigns - domains / sub domains
Dear SEOmoz folk, At the moment, I have one (rather large) site set up as a campain. I have decided to split off parts of my site into sub domains. My question is, can I set up these sub domains as a completely separate campaign on here? I'd very much like the crawl reports separated out for each one. A very real fear I have is that my site is well over double 10,000 pages, so I never truly see the actual number of errors that I have. Thoughts appreciated. Many thanks, Matt
