Page Authority different between Moz Open Site Explorer and On Page analyser
-
I have a client who has an old URL with 3 linking root domains and 4 links, with a PA of 24. This is on the open site explorer.
There is a 301 redirect in place to direct this old url to the new url.
When he uses the Moz bar on page, it shows that he has a PA of only 1 with no LRDs or inbound links?
Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if this could affect further page links across his site?
It would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hey there Lisa,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So something to consider here is how long ago he switched domains/URLs and how long ago those 301 redirects were implemented. Using 301 redirects will redirect your link juice (PA/DA), but you might need to wait a little while (a few index updates) for our crawler to pick up those changes and display the appropriate numbers.
If the domain switch was somewhat recent this would explain it. Our Mozscape Index is not a live representation of links. We can store link data for up to 190 days (~6 months) if links are not re-discovered from external linking sites. Generally, most new links that appear in our Index were crawled 3 months ago as this is the current timeframe it takes for us to process new links (and therefore to find and follow/process the 301 redirects).
I hope this helps to explain. If you have any other questions, just let us know!

Moz Spam Score
Hi! The spam score for my sites is "--" with no graph. The sites are large ecommerce sites with a ton of branded search and DAs of 50+. Simple question - are these clean spam scores, or has Moz not calculated the scores yet?

Facebook likes in OSE when there is no Facebook Like button on the web page
In OSE how are page specific facebook likes calculated when the page does not have a Facebook like/share button on it? I have seen many pages with multiple Facebook likes counted against it in OSE but cannot see how people could be liking the page.

Open Site Explorer not detecting linking domain on my site
So I was using Open Site Explorer to analyze my domain authority and page authority as can be seen here. My site has been covered by some press and in the article it actually links my site. Some of the articles can be seen on, here, here, and here. Any idea why none of these articles are detected as a linking domain to my site? Is there something that I am doing wrong?
