Metrics from Linkscape - DJ Passed, URL mozRank Passed and funny numbers
-
Hello,
Hoping someone can help me understand the difference between the Domain Juice Passed and some interesting numbers found in the exported CSV file.
I ran the Advanced Link Intelligence Report and focusing on the Links to Domain metrics. It looks like the report is sorted by mozRank passed but next to each link we are given the DJ Passed instead. Why is that?
My confusion is compounded by the fact that when I export the CSV of this report it no longer includes the DJ Passed numbers but does show URL mozRank Passed instead.
For Example, on the web version of the Advanced Link Intelligence Report the top link is:
http://www.holdenouterwear.com/shop.php with mozRank: 5.56 mozTrust: 5.95 and DJ Passed: 4.49
In the CSV file we don't get the DJ passed but get the URL mozRank Passed of: 0.00051
Looking at the CSV file further some links have URL mozRank Passed of 4.00E-05
Anyone has a clear explanation of why DJ Passed is not in the CSV file and how the mozRank passed is calculated? And what the 4.00E-05 mean?
Thank you.

You are operating under the assumption of the random surfer model, which weights all links equally. Under the reasonable surfer model, links are weighted based on the likelihood they will get clicked. Therefore, internal links pass a whole lot of that mozRank. There is also no guarantee that all 5.56 mozRank is passed in some form or another. Each link passes a portion of it, but that doesn't mean if you add them all up you will necessarily get 5.56. That's just the most you could get.

Having a hard time making this math add up.
If we use the link from http://www.holdenouterwear.com/shop.php as an example.
It has mozRank of 5.56 and the URL mozRank passed to my site is 0.00051
So does this mean there are 10901 links on this page? Clearly there are not.

Thanks Daniel. Great explanation

I'm not sure on the DJ passed issue, but the 4.00E-05 looks like some kind of scientific notation which means 4 with 5 zero's in front of it, or 0.00004. The decimal is too long so they anotate it as 4.00E-05. If it said 4.67E-08 then that number would be 0.00000000467. Hopefully that makes sense.
How mozrank passed is calculated is based on the pagerank algorithm that says each link on a page passes juice. So if the mozrank of the page is 5.56, then you look at how many links are on the page and each one passes a portion of that 5.56.

Do we get "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" when we cross 200 Moz Points? I have not received it yet, anything I can do?
Though I have only recently subscribed to Moz Pro, I have been using Moz Blog for quite some time. I recently crossed 200 Moz Points. As per Moz Points, it says "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" for crossing 200 points. I still dont see any links from Moz when I am using OSE. Can anyone suggest what i need to do?

Are there any strategies (Moz-specific or other) on how to improve the Total Links metric against competitors?
In competitive link metrics, our client is doing very well in every metric against every competitor except in Total Links against one competitor in particular. Wondering how to improve this metric against this one competitor. Any strategies, whether MOZ-specific or other that can boost this metric? Thanks.

Linkscape update
I noticed the scheduled linkscape update was on August 1. My link report hasn't been updated since July 6. Did the index update occur on Aug. 1? If not when is it expected to occur? thanks

Are header directives such as X-Robots and Link supported by OSE/Linkscape/SEOMoz tools?
SEOMoz tool reports show lots of duplicate content where there are http header directives in place on pages to eliminate dupes. Googlebot obeys but Roger the robot doesn't. Are header directives such as X-Robots and Link (rel=canonical) supported by OSE/Linkscape? I'd like to put my mind and clients at ease. Thanks

Crawl reports urls with duplicate content but its not the case
Hi guys!
Moz Pro | | MakMour
Some hours ago I received my crawl report. I noticed several records with urls with duplicate content so I went to open those urls one by one.
Not one of those urls were really with duplicate content but I have a concern because website is about product showcase and many articles are just images with href behind them. Many of those articles are using the same images so maybe thats why the seomoz crawler duplicate content flag is raised. I wonder if Google has problem with that too. See for yourself how it looks like: http://by.vg/NJ97y
http://by.vg/BQypE Those two url's are flagged as duplicates...please mind the language(Greek) and try to focus on the urls and content. ps: my example is simplified just for the purpose of my question. <colgroup><col width="3436"></colgroup>

A suggestion to help with linkscape crawling and data processing
Since you guys are understandably struggling with crawling and processing the sheer number of URLs and links, I came up with this idea: In a similar way to how SETI@Home (is that still a thing? Google says yes: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/) works, could SEOmoz use distributed computing amongst SEO moz users to help with the data processing? Would people be happy to offer up their idle processor time and (optionally) internet connections to get more accurate, broader data? Are there enough users of the data to make distributed computing worthwhile? Perhaps those who crunched the most data each month could receive moz points or a free month of Pro. I have submitted this as a suggestion here:

Have mozrank factors changed to cause drop?
Our site's mozrank recently dropped, but so did all our competitors. Have there been some updates to the factors to cause this change?
