How to check Page Authority in bulk?
-
Hey guys,
I'm on the free trial for SEOmoz PRO and I'm in love. One question, though. I've been looking all over the internet for a way to check Page Authority in bulk. Is there a way to do this? Would I need the SEOmoz API? And what is the charge?
All I really need is a way to check Page Authority in bulk--no extra bells and whistles.
Thanks,
Brandon

OK, great, thank you.
Is there a forum on SEOmoz where I can ask for professional help? Or do I just submit another question?
Thanks.

No worries, we're all noobs at some point. I'm currently working on something similar as a side project (doesn't have the bulk aspect though, just setting up a personal system to keep tabs on certain link targets via url-metrics and recording/comparing aggregate results over time). I'd say your best bet for finding someone would be here - whether that's allowed, I don't know either - or maybe even just source a hungry computer science undergrad at your local college? For someone well-versed in PHP or similar, this probably wouldn't take more than a few hours of time spent coding.
You'd need to provide them with the SEOMoz API documentation, and also follow the basic steps here to generate the credentials for your account:
http://www.seomoz.org/apiAnd also, I'd start by digging around in the API Wiki linked at the bottom of that page. Lots of good writeups for making basic API calls and such, sample code, etc. You can even make a basic call with just a web browser if you'd like to see what kind of data you get from the API.

Heh, I'm a total and utter PHP noob. I don't know if this is allowed to say here (apologies if it's not), but I'd be happy to pay someone to do it for me here. If I can't do that, can you recommend a good place for me to hire someone to write the code? And what do I need to provide them for them to be able to write it?
Thank you so much!

If you have some basic coding skills (or even just a decent grasp), I would definitely go with the free API. You can pass the url-metrics API all your URLs in bulk via PHP and return page authority for each. I'd go into more details, but SEOMoz has some pretty good documentation already:
http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL-Metrics-APIThey have a cap at 1mil URLs per month, so hopefully your definition of "bulk" doesn't exceed that.

Hi Daniel,
I have a long list of different URLs (different domains), and I want to check the Page Authority for all of them.

You can do a linkscape backlink analysis on a site and get 10k backlinks and export to excel - can also use OSE(open site explorer).
I think you're going to need to be more clear as to what you want to check on mass - serp's for a specific keyword perhaps or do you mean backlinks for a specific site/domain?

Source page showsI have 2 h1 tags on my page. I can only find one.
When I grade my page it says I have more than one h1 tag. I view the source page and it shows there are two h1 headings with the same wording. If I delete the one h1 heading I can find, the page source shows I have deleted both of them. I don't know how to get to the other heading to delete it. And I'm off page one of google! Can anybody help? Clay Stephens

Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

Comparing Domain Authority Scores
Since your scale (like PageRank) is a logarithmic scale, it makes it hard to judge the distance between 2 scores. Can you give me a rule of thumb. For PageRank, each jump is an exponential jump - so that a PR6 is perhaps 10 times stronger than a PR5. What is the log base that SEOMoz uses. Should I assume that a 60 is 10 times stronger than a 50? This is important when it comes to measuring progress because growth is going to get more difficult as you move up the scale and I need to communicate the distance between our current Authority score and our goal. Thank You!

Checking multiple keywords in Rank tracking
Besides the rankings in the campaigns i want to check 100+ keywords at once in rank tracking. Is this possible and if not why? It says i can check 400 keywords a day but manually entering them is time consuming and that's exactly why i use SEOMOZ, to save time.

How do you check the outbound links of a site?
There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links. What about the more basic and easier question: What outgoing links does this site have?

Domain / Page Authority - logarithmic
SEOmoz says their Domain / Page Authority is logarithmic, meaning that lower rankings are easier to get, higher rankings harder to get. Makes sense. But does anyone know what logarithmic equation they use? I'm using the domain and page authority as one metric in amongst other metrics in my keyword analysis. I can't have some metrics linear, others exponential and the SEOmoz one logarithmic.

How fast can page authority be grown
I understand that it is easier to rank for a particular keyword given a higher DA score. How fast can page authority be established and grown for a given keyword if DA is equal to 10/20/30/50? What are the relative measures that dictate the establishment and growth of this authority? Can it be enumerated to a percentage of domain links? or a percentage of domain links given an assumed C-Block ratio? For example you have a website with DA of 40, and you want to target a new keyword, the average PA of the top ranked pages is 30, the average domain links are 1,000, and the average number of linking domains is 250 - if you aim to build 1,000 links per month from 500 linking domains, how fast can you approximate the establishment of page authority for the keyword?
