Page Authority dropped to 1 for subdirectory in my site
-
Hey, one of my sites https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing has had all it's pages drop to a page authority of 1 in Moz and the campaign doesnt appear to be indexing any pages from this directory. We launched a new site in this directory on the 12th and havent been getting any moz love since. The pages are indexable and followable, and are being indexed by google and others. The site on the root domain has been unaffected.
Please help me get my moz campaign back on track.
Thanks!

What you will want to do is search for the external linking sites to see if we have crawled them to find your pages. We do not have to crawl your site to find your backlinks, only the external linking sites.
For your campaign settings the correct URL needs to contain www. The current campaign is added as the root domain and since it re-directs to the sub-domain, our tool is only looking to track the root domain version. The campaign will need to be re-created to track www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ and not automationanywhere.com/testing/

This is still an issue for us. We fixed our redirects (or at least attempted), we've waited several months, and still pages other than the homepage for this domain have no page authority (on the moz toolbar) and are not showing as being crawled by the crawl diagnostic tool from within the moz dashboard.
Can you please provide further assistance?

Hello!
Your site has too many re-directs setup which will prevent our crawler from reaching more pages.
Your campaign is setup to crawl the sub-folder www.automationanywhere.com/Testing
which re-directs to http://www.automationanywhere.com/testing (301) which then re-directs to https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ (303)
You will need to update the re-direct to be a 301 and re-create the campaign to track www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ with the lowercase sub-folder name.
For OSE it may take a few index updates to catch up and the previous URL had low authority to begin with so to help get index you will need to continue to build strong backlinks on sites with high Mozrank. With our site ourselves having high DA it took about 3 months for our links to be moved over from seomoz.org to moz.com

I noticed the campaign is listed as /Testing/, which has a 301 to /testing/. I don't know if this would cause the problem you're seeing or not.
I'm assigning this question to our help desk, because it's out of my area of expertise. They'll be back to you within a day or two (Mondays take longer, since we are catching up from the weekend).

I am having problems with both OSE and Crawl Diagnostics on https://automationanywhere.com/testing. In our campaign for /testing CD says only 1 page was crawled. In OSE/moz toolbar the page authority for all pages is 1.
https://automationanywhere.com/ the parent site is working fine.
-
The update was on July 23rd, so it may have been that we crawled your site earlier in the month (before the 12th) and the new pages weren't included at that point. You should start seeing more in OSE at the end of the month.
Are you only asking about OSE, or also about crawl diagnostics? Just making sure I'm answering the question correctly. Thanks!

KeriMorgret,
Thanks for the reply but we launched the new site on July 12, wouldn't this have been before last month's update?
-
We update our metrics about once a month, so if the site on the subdomain was launched after our last index update in July, that would be why you're not seeing any data. Our next update is scheduled for August 28th.

If I migrate to a new domain, does my Domain Authority score get migrated also?
For business reasons, I migrated my domain with a DA score of 85 to a new domain. After some time, the DA score on the new domain is only 45. My migration plan and redirects went smooth and all redirected with best practices in mind. I am still ranking well for almost all of the keywords where I've 301 redirected old URL to new. Any feedback welcome!

Moz crawling http rather than https site
Our site is secure but when I ask moz to crawl it by giving the root domain including https moz insists on crawling the non secure version. How do i force it to crawl the secure version?

Sudden Spike in 404 Pages Not Found in Moz Crawl But No Errors in WMT
Recently I received a spike in errors from the Moz crawler. When I looked into the matter I noticed that all the URI's looked right but then I looked a little closer and there was a /page/2 and /page/3 in front of the URI's. I'm running a WordPress website. Immediately I thought to myself this must be some kind of caching or permalinks error. So I disabled all my plugins including W3 Total Cache and ran the Integrity Link Crawler for the Mac and found that the errors were still popping up. 404-errors-ncworkercomp.png?dl=0

Domain Authority and PageRank Aren't Meshing
I'm seeing a very large discrepancy between the domain authority for a site I'm tracking and the PageRank. According to PageRank Checker the PageRank is "0". According to Moz, the domain authority is 57 and page authority for the domain below is in the 32. The domain is http://bwellness.massagetherapy.com/ Open Site Explorer shows 2 linking domains -- both have D.A. scores of 13. Please explain the discrepancy. Thanks in advance.

Inbound Links - How accurate or up-to-date is Open Site Explorer?
When I type my domain into OSE I get a list of linking domains. Most of them I have seen before and I know were active last year. However, when I click through, many of these links have been removed (which is what I wanted/requested) and some of the pages return 404. Google (via link:www.mydomain.com) doesn't show these links as active either. My question is why does OSE show them? Thanks

Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
