Is it normal for my homepage's page authority to be higher than my domain authority?
-
Hi everyone,
I've just been checking my MOZ authority scores, and the page authority of my home page, www.concerthotels.com is 53 (mozRank of 6.16) which seems pretty good to me. However, the domain authority is only showing as 45. Is this typical? There is such a big difference between these two scores - what does that suggest? Is there anything obvious that I can do to bring the domain authority up to the level of authority that the homepage commands?
Similarly, the UK version of my site has a homepage authority of 41, but the domain authority is only 30. Looking at numerous other websites, quite often the homepage and domain authority scores are very similar, or the domain authority is slightly higher, so it does look as if this is unusual.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks
Mike

" Domain Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of entire domains or subdomains, Page Authority measures the strength of individual page. "
According tot he data moz has on your web site they think your homepage has better chance of ranking as opposed to other pages on the domain. I would not be too worried about it, you can mitigate it by building quality links to some of your other top internal pages

Crawl-test not doesn't finish
Hello, I have used this crawl-test on 2 website 3 days ago, and it hasn't finished yet. I'm wondering if the crawler is on an infinite loop, or has crashed without sending back an error. I could re-launch the test, but if it's really still crawling, I don't want to loose any work in progress. Is there any way to check the status of a crawl?

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

On Page Grader inconsistent
Why does the on page grader not update it's grades based on the other factors, other then the title tag. i.e. I can have the keyword 'burger' in H1 tags, the URL, ALT attributes, in the body text a couple times and in the meta section of the site and receive an F grade from the on page grader, but as soon as I add the word 'burger' to the title I receive an A grade. Is there a reason why the only factor that has that influence is the title tag, and why is it that a keyword for a page cant get say a B or C grade if it has the other factors covered (i.e. they have a tick next to them) but not the title tag? Cheers Again

Ww.domain.com coming up with error
our domain is showing in moz with the following error in crawl reports Crawl Error We were unable to access your homepage, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site. It is likely that other browsers as well as search engines may encounter this problem and abort their sessions. This could be a temporary outage, but we recommend making sure your network and server are working correctly. note that the url being displayed is ww.domain.com and not www.domain.com . we do not have a 301 in place, we have switched off wildcard forwarding from the server.. its acting as the url is a subdomain that is not working.. should i just ignore it?

OSE Missing High Profile Linking Root Domains
Hi All, I have noticed that Open Site Explorer does not appear to be totally accurate in the linking root domains it shows for a given site. For instance, I have a site that I know for a fact is listed on dmoz (and has been for far longer than last Mozscape update), which should show up near the top of the stack. What gives? Do you think that this is also affecting my projected DA, PA, etc? Thoughts and theories welcome.
