Domain Audit
-
Hi
What is the best tool out there to doing a full brand audit for company. They've created at least 15 websites and have possibly many domain names which have been ordered by different people over many years.
I need to find the quickest and best tool to do this with. Any suggestions would be great.

Used to dealing with millions of lines of data and analysing so no problem doing it manual, however if there was a tool capable of doing it then why not use the tool if it saves time.............

For best results DIM (Do It Manually!)
Joking apart I would stay away from automatic audits, they are often incorrect and can give you a pack of trouble.
I really like seoma10's answer.
People who are really good at doing audits are usually doing audits, not making "tools". In addition, the job of doing a really good audit has paths and tasks that would be difficult to program because they are different in every situation.
Most people looking for tools are looking for "free tools" and audit experts don't receive a good return by building free tools. However, if you are willing to pay for a tool, then the brain of a very experienced and knowledgeable person is the best tool.

For best results DIM (Do It Manually!)
Joking apart I would stay away from automatic audits, they are often incorrect and can give you a pack of trouble.
I would start by setting yourself out a strategy something like the following:-
- Fix coding and visual errors
- Use Moz Open Site Explorer and find which sites have the best reputation on the web (you can compare several sites in one go).
- Research all the domain names that you have, put them in a spreadsheet, rate them for brandability, reputation and if they have any current positions worth maintaining.
By the end of this you should have a good idea of the quality and how far reaching powerful brands are.
Also don't forget social media, although not directly related to SEO it will give you a good idea is to brand reputation.
Hope understood your question correctly, if not please elaborate and see what I can do to help.

I bought a 5 year old domain and has a spam score of 23%.....
A few months ago i bought a 5 year old domain and when i went to check in Moz pro the spam score, it shows its at 23%. DA is 1 everything else is 0. The spam score shows 23% but there are no links at all for this website (see image) https://imgur.com/a/3lHjLEh I don't understand, there are no links at all going to this website. I checked google search console, analytics and tried looking for any links linking to this domain and there is none. Even Moz isn't showing any links in the picture i provided above. Is this a glitch? Can i reset my spam score on this domain? Does that mean i wasted my money on this domain and now i can't rank with it? Is there something im missing here. I also checked is there are any warnings or manual actions and it clearly says "No issues detected". A few months earlier i bought a brand new domain very close to the 5 year old domain (new domain has a z instead of an s) and the spam score on that is 0 and DA is 1. Given that the 5 year old domain has a 23% spam score, does that mean i should use the other new domain instead and redirect the 5 year old domain to the new website?

What to look for with Domain Authority?
Hi, Our site has fluctuated between 20 and 22 DA for six months, but today it jumped to 27. Is that a sign we are doing something right or is 5 points within the DA's fluctuations pretty standard? Thanks, Ruben

My Moz domain authority fell last week but so did all 3 of my competitors. What could cause that?
As a loyal Moz Pro subscriber I track my site's authority, trust and links against 3 similar competitors. Last week my authority fell from 61 to 60 but all 3 competitors saw a drop in their authority that week too. Was the Moz domain authority calculation changed? Did anyone else see a drop or has something odd happened to just our market? Any ideas? Not sure if this is something I should address or just shrug and ignore. Cheers

Why Doesn't Open Site Explorer show Domain Links from Twitter, WordPress or Feedburner?
I commented on a few blog posts and wanted to see the domain authority of those sites. When I look at our domain links, I notice the links are not there from the blogs (which I now know I have to give it time to show up). But I also noticed that domains with links to our website (regularly) were not showing up either. i .e Twitter, WordPress and Feedburner. I know we have links in these locations, especially Twitter. Why would these domains not show up? Much thanks!

Domain Authority
Has anyone ever experienced a domain authority of 1, 0 links for web 2.0 websites like tumblr, wordpress, weebly, etc? I know it's normal to see a page authority of 1 if there are no links to a url or if opensite explorer hasn't been updated. Is this some kind of bug with opensite explorer?

Domain.com and domain.com/index.html duplicate content in reports even with rewrite on
I have a site that was recently hit by the Google penguin update and dropped a page back. When running the site through seomoz tools, I keep getting duplicate content in the reports for domain.com and domain.com/index.html, even though I have a 301 rewrite condition. When I test the site, domain.com/index.html redirects to domain.com for all directories and root. I don't understand how my index page can still get flagged as duplicate content. I also have a redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com. Is there anything else I need to do or add to my htaccess file? Appreciate any clarification on this.

Domain authority decrease after open site explorer update. Reasons?
Hi! I just noticed a decrease on our domain authority and also the page authority of several of our pages on the SeoMoz toolbar. For instance, DA went from 34 to 29. I was scared and confused, so I went to check it on the opensite explorer and saw that it had been updated. I want to ask you guys if the same happened with your metrics or is it just us. Because the strange thing about it is that we have been doing some good optimization work lately and also some linkbuilding, and actually our SERP’s have been improving in general, and some specific ones have been performing great. Our website is http://www.inmonova.com as a reference. Can anyone cast some light into this?
