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

GA: How do I preserve custom dimension across domain and subdomain?
Using custom dimensions our site tracks logged-in vs not logged-in users on our shop site (shop.example.com). A user can only login on the shop.example.com. The problem is when the logged in user visits our the main domain (example.com), we lose the custom dimension and the user becomes anonymous. At this point, if the user goes back to shop.example.com, the logged-in custom dimension comes back. How do I preserve the logged-in user dimension across the main domain? Example of snippet:

How can I easily combine moz page difficulty, google search volume and SERPS position?
I want to produce an excel spreadsheet that I can use to identify the best use of my content Writing time. So Looking at a keyword list I want Current SERPS to show me where I am now? moz page difficulty score to show how hard I'll have to work google traffic estimate so that I can see the potential payoff. I can can generate all these separately but combining them is a huge time waster as invariably the results don't come back in quiet the same order and a line by line check is required. Part of the reason for doing this is keyword exploration so that we can find new niches by generating hundreds or thousands of keywords to test.

Understanding Source/Medium & Conversion Paths
I had always thought that the Traffic Source/Medium in all sections of GA shows last interaction, and the only way to see indirect conversions was through Multi-Channel Functions/Conversion Paths. However, the screenshots - shows transactions and conversion paths that resulted from an email campaign we've done recently. As you can see on the conversion path screenshot, there were 5 conversions (1 conversion type selected - ecommerce/transactions) 3 direct conversion or last interaction and 2 assisted conversions. However - according to the transactions screenshot - there are 5 transactions, all show up as email. I would have thought, that the transaction page would have only shown 3 email conversions - for the 3 direct/last interactions conversions seen in the conversion path. Any idea why this would happen? Was my initial understanding of traffic sources wrong? O7v3cTj.jpg aAPhd8e.jpg

Keep multiple Google Analytic / Webmaster accounts seperate?
Hi, I have a paranoid suspicion that putting all my websites on one Webmaster / Analytic account will mean any links between my sites won't carry any weight, and Google might consider similar content much more readily if 2 of my sites are in the same market. So I have about 4 different accounts with my main sites split across them. Am I being over paranoid? Do any of you have any problem with all your sites being on the same account?
