Can I track the Domain MozRank over time?
-
I got my pro account a few months ago and now wondering if the Domain MozRank has changed much since when I first started. How can I see this?
-
I'm excited to see where you guys are taking PA & DA. I'm sure it will only continue to improve and as a baseline metric for evaluating a site it is already incredibly useful.
I just think it needs to be made crystal clear that comparing the PA & DA of today to the PA & DA of last month, last quarter, or last year truly is apples and oranges and this will only become more true as SEOMoz improves these metrics going forward.

Rand also mentions something similar in his blog post from a few days ago at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/linkscape-september-update-feedback.
What to Expect in the Next 3 Months
We're releasing a new version of PA + DA that are likely to be much better correlated with Google rankings (giving a superior metric to judge the ranking potential of sites/pages). This might, however, result in some sites + pages rising or falling dramatically. My best advice here is to use your competitors and industry cohorts as a bar for comparison rather than just looking at the raw numbers over time (since the metric itself is changing, a "40" in October might not mean what a "40" means today).

Check out my response to a similar question from last month:
"Keep in mind that the DA metric has changed over time not only because of your SEO efforts but due to the Linkscape index growing and changing over time as well. This means if you compare today's DA to DA last year it's apples and oranges because so many more links and URLs have been indexed since then and different weights have been given to existing links in the index.
DA is most useful as a link building metric and even then it is purely relative.
You probably already know this, but just in case you don't I would focus on organic search traffic in GA - what keywords are driving traffic and conversions on your site - as the main metric for gauging your site's success.
If you haven't already, drink Avinash's Kool-Aid!"

Would be awesome if you could.

Hi Matthew,
It is not possible to see changes in Domain Authority over time in your Pro App. If you have downloaded reports from Open Site Explorer or the Keyword Difficulty Tool for your site over time you could lift the DA from your reports and consolidate them in excel to create a chart.
If you would like to see a history of your DA in the Pro App, you could ask the Moz staff to consider adding it by lodging a feature request
Hope that helps,
Sha

MozBar Chrome - Can I turn it back on?
I'm using Chrome 27.0.1453.110. I installed the Moz toolbar and lost the send button in gmail. Didn't matter how I sized the window it was out of view. So I closed the Moz toolbar while I did my mail. But now I don't know how to bring it back up. Does anyone know how to turn it on again? It is still installed.

How do I get a MozRank?
Hi all, Hoping that one of you Guru's might be able to shed a little light for me please. we launched the online arm of our gold bullion business on the 21st of February and I signed up for an account here on the 23rd of Feb. I don't have a MozRank for my site yet and I'd love to get one. The mozbar that I installed shows o linkes from 0 root domains etc. but google webmaster can see links that are inbound to my site. My questions are: Do I have to wait the 45-60 days that I believe it might take SEOmoz to give me a rank- or is there a process that I manually kick off? Is there anything other than google webmaster that I should be looking at to try and make sure that I am on the right track; I'd hate to go 45-60 days in the wrong direction before realising there is an issue. thanks in advance, YGF

How fast can page authority be grown
I understand that it is easier to rank for a particular keyword given a higher DA score. How fast can page authority be established and grown for a given keyword if DA is equal to 10/20/30/50? What are the relative measures that dictate the establishment and growth of this authority? Can it be enumerated to a percentage of domain links? or a percentage of domain links given an assumed C-Block ratio? For example you have a website with DA of 40, and you want to target a new keyword, the average PA of the top ranked pages is 30, the average domain links are 1,000, and the average number of linking domains is 250 - if you aim to build 1,000 links per month from 500 linking domains, how fast can you approximate the establishment of page authority for the keyword?
