My website Moz Page Authority
-
My website is Best Comedy Tickets. The current homepage has a Page Authority is 41, mR : 4:53 and
Domain Authority is 31. However all my sub pages are basically non existent. All the other pages on the site
are a Page Authority of 1, mR : 0.00. Why is this and how do I increase this ? Are there any tips or tricks to
increase subpages ? I appreciate all the feed back and am grateful for any tips or helpful advice.

Hi Joseph! These are both good answers, but I want to add that a PA of 1 often means that our crawler isn't reaching those pages, or that there are no inbound links to them.
Sure enough, when I looked your site up in Open Site Explorer, I saw that the subpages all show that we don't have data.
If you haven't had the chance to look up those pages in OSE, here's the advice the tool returns:
- Check your URL for typos or other errors. Did your URL cut off or contain the wrong punctuation?
- Check out the site's navigation. Sometimes it takes multiple index updates for us to discover pages that aren't linked to from the site's primary navigation. A simple fix is to create a link to the URL from another page on the website.
- The Mozscape index is still growing. Keep in mind that, while large, our index doesn't cover the entire web. If you have a smaller site it's possible we haven't crawled the domains linking to it. Search the pages linking to yours to see if we have indexed their links. If you need help with link building, check-in with our Q&A community.
If you don't see any inbound links to this page:
- Make sure we're not blocked from crawling this URL or site. If our web crawlers are blocked from crawling certain pages (i.e., with "noindex" or Robots.txt), they may not be included in the index.
Does that help at all?

Hello Joseph,
Well, I agree with Alick but I wanna add some extra info
I recently noticed at one of the blogs I'm taking care of (DA of RD is 37), that after 3 years many posts with a lot of content, SEO friendly and seeming normal... still have PA=1 (strange right??). I decided to study and analize the whole blog (350 posts more or less), and... here it goes my results:
- Posts with a lot of words (1,000+ words) SEO-optimized, social OK... BUT no internal inbound links ==> PA=1
- Posts with a lot of words (1,000+ words), SEO-optimized, social OK AND 1 to 3 internal inbound links ==> PA=11 - 20
- Posts with a normal amount of words (400+ words), SEO-optimized and social OK and 3+ internal inbound links ==> PA=20+
So, we were doing everything BUT missing the most important
Maybe you can adapt my conclusions into your case Now, things go much better for this blog!!!

Hi Joseph,
I presume that you know what is page authority.I am quoting moz on this "Page Authority is difficult to influence directly. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics (MozRank, MozTrust, link profile, and more) that each have an impact on this score."
"The best way to influence this metric is to improve your overall SEO. In particular, you should focus on your link profile—which influences MozRank and MozTrust—by getting more links from other well-linked-to pages."
Please check this to know more on this @ http://moz.com/learn/seo/page-authority
Thanks

How i can Reduce Spam score of my website
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?

301 passing authority?
Does anyone have experience of 301's in connection with SEO or more specifically passing authority? Recently purchased a small business that had three small websites. My main concern is all three websites do rank for some fairly important key phrases, but there is very little direct overlap. I was hoping by using 301's I would be able to refocus the authority to get the main site ranking.

Advice needed on making some pages more relevant...
Hello - and sorry to bother you all. I am learning on my feet with SEO, but gradually getting there. I have started a directory for musical instruments and need to make the profile pages for dealers as relevant as possible (their instruments are doing well, but profile views less so). The following link is an example. http://www.amati.com/music-shops/dealers/dealer/turner-violins.html all of them can be found here: http://www.amati.com/music-shops/dealers/page-1.html We are putting in a search box to help with functionality, but if any one can give me an idea how to make these profiles super then I would be enormously grateful! Best wishes, James

One Website or Mini Sites?
Hello and thank you in advance for your responses. My wife and I have been running a small service business for over 5 years and we recently came upon an untapped niche in our industry we will like to explore. We have found some niche keyword specific domains and have been contemplating building a few specific minisites linking to our main site(blog) in order to reach a more targeted audience. It seems the more I research this concept the more confused I guess. My questions are the following: 1. Should we create a main blog, for example: "BestHotelConferences.com" and have some (about 10) independent optimized sites "HiltonConferences.com," "MarriottConferences.com," linking to our main blog or should we optimize these pages within our main blog? 2. If we choose to create this minisite buildout concept and these domains yield the following monthly search results which one should we pick? HiltonConference.com - 3900 HiltonConference**s.**com - 1700 HiltonHotelConference - 730 HiltonHotelConferences - 580 I have heard that the plurals already include the singular version however they will not be an exact match. Also if we add the word hotelwe will be targeting a broader audience since "hilton conference" will still be included in the domain name, but once again it will not be an exact match. Please help! Which domain name should we pick?

Ranking strategy -which pages to rank?
Hi, I hope you can help. I am looking to rank for 10 keywords. My homepage has some authority. On what pages should I focus my optimisation on? Should I create a new page for each keyword and build links to these pages or try and optimise my home page for a number of keywords? If so how many keywords should you optimise for from your home page to get the most clout? Im a little confused about which strategy would be the most effective. Many thanks.
