Site moved to https and not showing any Moz DA or PA
-
Hello Fellow Mozzers,
So, I have a client site that we moved from non https to https at the end of 2015. We had decent moz numbers (Da/Pa etc) but now we are only showing a 1 for both of them.
Does it usually take time for Moz to carry over the info to the https version or does that process entirely start over? Not sure where to start looking.
Cheers

Hi there!
It looks like we haven't indexed the new version of your site yet. It can take a few index updates for your current URL to appear in Open Site Explorer, so keep an eye on our index update schedule here and check out our new link data with each update.
I hope this helps - thank you!

Hi, kudos to you for taking this on...
yes, it takes a few weeks for them to update the moz bar with new fresh metrics upon the latest crawl... they used to crawl every 20 to 30 days, sometimes longer intervals... I'm not up to date lately as to the actual frequency for the Mozbot crawls, but you should see the metrics soon if you've done the homework properly: 301 redirects, execute the 'change of address' trigger via Search Console from http to https....re-submit your xml sitemaps under https, etc...
I also assume that you have no mixed content on your site anymore, meaning internal links pointing to the right version of your pages and resources: image urls, etc... otherwise if you only rely on the 301s it take a lot longer to get Google to index your https pages...
hope that helps, good luck!

Update I've just bothered going to the Dev Blog: https://moz.com/devblog/category/archives/linkscape/ and can read that Mozscape data hasnt been refreshed in the last few weeks + on top of that there were some issues with the index in feburary. That may explain why you are not getting Moz link data for your new https site?

Unsolved Looking for someone from Moz to comment on unrealistic spam score
Two years ago I bought domain name aroundtheworldwithme.com as a travel blog. I built the site up slowly and currently have a DA of 28 with decent Google search results. However, according to Moz my spam score is 43%. I am convinced that something funny is going on to give me this spam score. I have gone though all 27 factors that play into the spam score in great detail. I only fail a few of the checks. These are the Double Click Tag, LinkedIn profile, phone number, email, and Facebook Pixel. Which as far as I know, literally zero travel blog websites provide this info. So I am on par with evert other travel blog website. Now I know Moz will say this "doesn't mean your website is spam, just that our algorithm found that websites with similar attributes are spam." But this is completely bogus. All similar websites to mine have spam scores of 1-2%. All other websites I see with spam scores over 40% are literally spam websites. Why am I literally the only legitimate travel blog site that has a spam score over 40%? My backlink profile is similar to all other travel blogs. I actually have less spammy links as most, as I haven't been around too long. So I don't think my backlinks are causing the high spam score. The only thing I can think of is that my domain name used to be owned by someone else. I have a lot of backlinks from a random blog website that were discovered in 2018, three years before I bought the domain. Is it possible that the domain used to be an actual spam site name and I am now being punished for that? If not, then I cannot think of anything that would cause my high spam score other than fundamental defects in the Moz spam score algorithm. Something is going on, and I'd love someone from Moz to actually be able to have a look at my website and tell me why I have such a high spam score. I know Google doesn't care about Moz's spam score (thankfully) but other websites don't want links from me due to my completely bogus spam score. Thanks everyone

Moz error with domain and page authority if no www in my domain
Hello, so our domain is website.com and we do not use www in our domain. Now moz shows our page authority as huge (website. Com) and domain authority very low. But our domain is our page that we rank. Is this due to the fact that we use no www and we rank our main index page? Am I correct? Thanks!

Drop in Site Links
Hi all, I've noticed recently a dramatic drop in the number of external links showing in moz across all campaigns (including tracked competitors) Is this to do with the new indexing? Thanks

How long will it take for the changes we've made to reflect in Moz OSE spam score data?
I signed up for Moz to see the spam flags our site had triggered. As soon as I found out, we worked on it and have been trying to correct our mistakes but it's been more than a month and we've managed to neutralise zero flags. I would appreciate if someone can clarify how long the OSE data takes to refresh. Also, how do you combat the following three specific flags: Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains Low Number of Pages Found Crawl only gets a valid response to a small number of pages. Thanks.

Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small
My site www.brightonsoundsystem.co.uk has been optimised for speed so I have minimised the code needed. Now if I put it through the OSE spam analysis it has a flag for "Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small". What ratio of visible text compared to mark-up code is being used to trigger this flag. Also as this is the only flag I have is ti worth the time fixing.

Open Site Explorer Doesn't Discover Link for my website
Hi, I've been trying to use Open Site Explorer to track link to my own website but it always comes up with no data and shows me this message: It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL. However, this site has been up and running for more than 9 months and google webmaster can track all the links to my website. I've also followed MOZ's support instruction to tweet a bit.ly links with my website but still no luck at all. My website is www.carpetcleanerperthwa.com.au Has anyone seen the same problem before? Any help would be much appreaciated. Thanks Will

Open Site Explorer
Confused by the results displayed in Open Site Explorer. Want to know the Total Links into a site. As such typed in the site address and received the result 28 Total Links from 1 Root Domain. Filter Set to This Page. Therefore, changed the filter to **Pages on This Root Domain. **All other filters set to All (i.e. internal and external links). I would assume this should give me ALL LINKS coming into all pages. I received results of 79 Total Links from 28 root domains. Raven and other tools advise a Total number of links in excess of 2,000. External Backlinks 200+. I have experienced this problem on a number of sites over the past month, in what way am I interpreting the data incorrectly? Why is there such disparity? Please advise. Kind regards
