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

Impressions in GWT have dropped to nothing, but my page is still ranking normally
Hello Everyone, I'm seeing a strange issue. On the 22nd of this month Webmasters tools started showing 6 impressions per day down from hundreds or thousands. I thought I was hit with a huge penalty for my keywords but they are still ranking where they have for the past month or two on Google. In analytics my organic traffic is stable. It just seems to be GWT showing the massive drop. My domain is: http://Patchofland.com Any Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Correlation between google and yahoo indexed pages
My blog ocpatentlawyer.com has about 130 pages or so. Google has indexed most if not all of the posts and pages. In contrast, yahoo has only indexed about 1/4 of the pages and posts. Are there any actions that can be taken based on this information? For example, if i prepare a blog post should I prepare it so that it will most likely be indexed into yahoo knowing that google will also index it. If so, how can i prepare blog posts that will most likely be indexed into yahoo's index?
