Distribution of SEOMOZ Ranking Metrics across all Monitored Websites
-
Hi,
I'm looking into building a tool which would incorporate SEOMOZ ranking metrics and I have a few questions with regard to the ranking data which will help me develop it correctly.
I have done a few searches, for the information but haven't found an answer to these questions on seomoz - if they exist somewhere then I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
1/. When looking at the values of metrics such as MozRank and DA, is there any information on how this values are distributed amongst the ranked website - EG The mean / median values of DA and MozRank etc of all websites monitored is X & Y . If there were any distribution graphs for these values then even better.
2/. Along the lines of the above - are there any online resources showing similar information for google PR?
3/. What is the calcuation used in the scale of MozRank and DA - ie We have a scale of 1-10 for these values - be we also know the scale in not linear but logrithmic - ie Double the Links of a DA 5 website and you would not end up with a DA 10 website - so what is the calculation which defines the scale. A WBF about google PR by Rand indicated that a value of between 8-9 is used in Google PR - but what about the values used for DA and MozRank etc?
Many thanks for your help

Hi there!
I apologize for the late response, I had to do a little research on this question
Here's what I know--1-- We don't track data on the metrics across all ranked websites on a regular basis. Although we have an interesting blog post by our resident "numbers" guys with distribution from our last index.
2-- I don't know of any online resources that show this information for GA
3-- I was going to explain how we calculate MozRank and DA, but these blogs do a much better job than I could: MozRank & Domain Authority.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

My automated build system is creating a duplicate website
Because of the tools my company is using for CI/CD (A CI/CD pipeline helps you automate steps in your software delivery process, such as initiating code builds, running automated tests, and deploying to a staging or production environment.) an extra URL is generated. The canonical for the generated site is that of our main website, but other than that it is the same website. Could this new URL compete with our website? Will Google count it against us since it is the same content BUT with canonical (it is not noindex-ed)? Does it matter? Surely others are using this method? Answers/thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sudden drop in traffic since website redesign – can't spot double firing sessions pre-update
Hi all, We launched an updated website around mid-April and have seen a long-term drop in unique page views and sessions since then. Between 25-35%. Page views returned to normal within a month, however. In terms of acquisition, we've not lost referrals or direct traffic, just organic sessions. I haven't seen any significant Google updates except for 'Fred' but that was in March (pre-website update). We did have to do some 301s and fix up an HTML and XML sitemap, etc, post launch – but that's been in place for a while now so shouldn't still have such an effect? We are also struggling with load speed at the moment, working on this at the moment. Didn't think this had a such a significant impact on ranking however. We've lost mostly non-UK traffic, especially USA. We're actually climbing rankings for a lot of new keywords I'm targeting, so I can't see how our SEO has been hampered. Frustratingly, I wasn't using Search Console or Moz Pro before this update, so can't compare much in the way of keyword traffic (I know I feel very silly now). I don't know if it's a reporting issue (I wish it was). I mean we had both GTM and GA tags on the website (I didn't know this until I looked into it) but these were present post website-launch. And I haven't found enough double firing sessions or page views to suggest we used to be getting double figures anyway. Before this, we were ranking brilliantly and getting more organic traffic than ever. All the best,

Community Discussion - Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better?
In the online marketing community, there is a widespread belief that long-form content ranks better. In today's YouMoz post, Ryan Purthill shares how his research indicated 1,125 to be a magic number of sorts: The closer a post got to this word count, the better it ranked. Diminishing returns, however, were seen once a post exceeded 1,125 words. Does this jibe with your own data and experiences? Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better in general? What about for specific industries and types of content? Let's discuss!

Goals tracking across subdomains
Hi all, I'm having some trouble with regards to setting up goals tracking in Analytics across subdomains and was hoping that someone could help me out. Okay I work for an insurance company and we use a Quote & Buy portal for our insurance policies. Our website - www.example.com sends the traffic to quotes.example.com. Both of these sites have the same Google Analytics tracking ID. The quotes.example.com has no duplicate URLs which appear one our website, therefore I only set up the account to only include the hostname for each. Does this sound correct? The goals issue is if I now set up a goal in the quotes.example.com account, someone comes to www.example.com via Google and then clicks through to our journey and completes, will this count as a referral from www.example.com or as a goal from Organic? I'm totally stuck so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ben

Keyword Rank Dip - Estimated Wait Time to Return to Higher Spot?
The organic traffic to our site (fairly new) took a ~50% hit about a month ago due to the drop in our most important keyword. The numbers have come back up and are now exceeding the number before the dip. While this is all fine and dandy, we're still not ranking in the top 50 for our most valuable keyword. We've put out a number of guest post on reputable outside sites and are building a regular cadence of those posts, but my question is, what is the realistic wait time for those organic rankings to increase again?

Landing pages report - Meaning of clics metric
Hi there, I am looking at the landing pages report on Google Analytics, I see 4 columns: Impressiones Clics Average position CTR Regarding the clics metric, this shouldn't be equal to the sessions of organic traffic that you get? In Adwords, a clic is a session. What I see is that clics are not sessions and I am a bit surprised of this. Why are they different in this report? Thanks and regards Thanks and regards

I have few similar job forms that were created for different positions. SEOMoz says, its "duplicate pages". So how do I resolve it? I want my jobs to be searchable in Search Engines.
