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.

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.

How long does Moz takes to update DA and PA value?
I used to work daily on my office website https://quintdaily.com/ and follow link building strategy. however, since more than 40-50 days, there is no movement in my DA, as the PA has just lifted up. However, there is no changes in Domain Authority so far. Besides, other than this website, im working on location wise SEO projects, but, i can find those websites Domain Authority changed in less 20 days. Is there is time period in changing the Domain Authority once it touched DA 30+?

SEO process suggestions / keyword analysis
hi all, we've done a bit of SEO over the years for our site, and are looking to pick things up this year and spend more time on SEO. first off, we are working on revising our keyword list & would like to view what keywords specific competitors are ranking for and try to target those keywords as well. is this possible via SEOmoz (similar to spyfu)? please let me know if you feel this is a good first step in picking up our SEO efforts for the new year. i've been looking at the research tools & is seems the Keyword Difficulty Tool hasn't been fully functional for the past week or so ("Our Keyword Difficulty Tool is having issues displaying AdWords API data. We are working with the AdWords API folks to get a fix soon!"). also, i noticed i can enter competitor sites in open site explorer & compare link metrics, but i don't see anywhere to compare keyword metrics. is there something i'm missing? thanks again everyone!

Has SEOMoz considered making it possible to follow a specific Q & A thread via Twitter and/or Email?
I think it would be great if there was a way to follow a particular Q & A thread without having to post a comment. There are so many great topics and discussions in here and sometimes I lose track of some that I'd like to continue following as people post, without having to post in the thread myself. Have you guys (Mozzers) ever considered adding a "Follow this thread on Twitter" or "Follow this thread by email" function? Or is there already a way to do this (without posting), that I just haven't found?
