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

What are the SEO implications of high quality backlinks from US-based websites to UK-based websites?
Hi everyone, quick question I hope someone could help me with: We're representing a client based in the UK. As part of their overall strategy we've been linkbuilding. At the moment, about 80/90% of the links we've gained come from UK-based sites, with 10/20% coming from US-based websites. The US based websites are very good (think New York Times and genuine, relevant blogs with good readerships). An external search analyst/consultant has contacted the client to say that the US links will be harming the site, because the links are from websites in the US and not the UK. We believe that if 80/90% of the links were from the US this could indeed cause harm as it could indicate to search engines that our client is in the US when it's not (which might compromise their chance of ranking in .co.uk versions of search engines) however because it's only 10/20%, and because the linking sites are very good, we believe that they will getting all of the benefits of the positive metrics without any meaningful negatives. We just wanted to get a few opinions on this to see if people think that we're mistaken, and would be glad to hear any opinions contrary to our own.

Redirects affect on page and domain authority
Hi - excuse me if this is stupid question but I'm rather new to this. Currently the PA for the home page is 16 and the DA 28 and I have some concerns that my efforts are being diluted. When I use OSE on www.sassandgrace.co.uk I get different link results to sassandgrace.co.uk but there is a redirect in place to sassandgrace.co.uk and cannot run a crawl report, for example, on www.sassandgrace.co.uk. The PA and DA are identical for each but the number of links different With a smallish number of links pointing to each but with a redirect in place, am I losing some of the effect or is having the redirect in place giving me all the credit for links to both addresses? Thanks

'Too many links' on our pages.
This figure includes links that sit within our navigational menus. Is there a way to block this somehow so that Google and Moz do not read them as 'internal links'? Thanks in advance.

Link Relevance vs Link Authority ?
Hi guys, I have a quick question regarding some low quality links my site is getting. From the information in Open Site Explorer, the website Im talking about has a page authority of 16 while the domain authority is 11\. These are very low quality scores in my oppinion and Im thinking of removing them with Google Disavow Tool. The thing is that, although the domain is low quality, the links have relevance as they're in the same business sector as us. More exactly, the name of the domain is taxisavona and the company I work for is also a taxi company. So, now I`m thinking, should I disavow the link because of it's low scores or should I leave it because it is relevant to our business ? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Tiberiu Iavorenciuc

Pagerank 0 vs Page Authority 53....?
I sometimes see sites with PageRank 0 but Page Authority 50+. For instance http://auto.beginthier.nl/: PageAuthority = 53
Link Building | | PrizeWize
mozRank = 4,64
mozTrust = 5,69
Root domain links = 42
PageRank = 0 How should i interpret these stats? If or instance i'm optimizing for a car related website (a site about: car parts, car insurrance, classic cars), would these be a good place or a bad place to get links from (ignoring the benefits of direct traffic)? PA = 53 (very good) Vs. PR = 0 (very bad)?0 -
Website not appearing anywhere on google
Hello, we launched www.comparetravel.ie in June but it is not showing up on google search, we have submitted it to google twice but still no sign of our site. I thought it would at least show up for the "Compare Travel" search term, it only shows up when you type the full website address into google. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong? Alll advice greatly appreciated. (The website is Irish based) Thanks P
