How do I get a MozRank?
-
Hi all, Hoping that one of you Guru's might be able to shed a little light for me please. we launched the online arm of our gold bullion business on the 21st of February and I signed up for an account here on the 23rd of Feb. I don't have a MozRank for my site yet and I'd love to get one.
The mozbar that I installed shows o linkes from 0 root domains etc. but google webmaster can see links that are inbound to my site.
My questions are:
Do I have to wait the 45-60 days that I believe it might take SEOmoz to give me a rank- or is there a process that I manually kick off?
Is there anything other than google webmaster that I should be looking at to try and make sure that I am on the right track; I'd hate to go 45-60 days in the wrong direction before realising there is an issue.
thanks in advance,
YGF

Hi YGF,
Congratulations on launching your new site. As others have mentioned in this thread, MozRank is a predictive popularity "score" that comes from Linkscape, the SEOmoz link index of the Internet.
The short answer to your question is: in order to get MozRank, make sure you earn good, high-authority links to your site. Linkscape generally finds most important links on the web in 30-60 days, but sometimes it can take longer. This is especially the case if the links are buried beneath layers of navigation or not well linked to.
Just so you know, MozRank is a predictive metric based on, and similar to PageRank. Earning MozRank in itself will not help your site to rank, but there is a correlation between sites with high MozRank and ranking potential. The highest correlation with ranking potential is actually Domain Authority.
Regardless, keep working to build high quality links to your site, and they should show up in Linkscape soon. As soon as they are in Linkscape, new MozRank calculations are automatically made for your site.
The next update is scheduled for April 10th. You can find the update calendar here.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Thanks so much for the answers so far - Is there anything that I should we doing to try and ensure that we are included in the next crawl - e.g. submitting a sitemap or similar?
Many thanks,
YGF

MozRank is based on a lot of factors, but the key will be links for your new site. With OSE, the crawls take place roughly every four weeks and the last crawl was roughly a week ago. The next will be in about 3 weeks.
Along with that, due to the depth of the web and resources (moz is cool, but Google is HUGE), OSE is looking at roughly the top 25% of links. So, if you have a link from another site that is relatively low in links of value, it will likely not show. You must continue to get links.
Make sure you have submitted sitemap to Google and Bing as well and give it a bit of time.Best

Hi YGF,
What you need to know about MOZrank is that LinkScape is constantly crawling the web (as I have understood) and on monthly basis there is a big Linkscape update scheduled as seen here. Only after Linkscape update you can await to have the metrics through their API.
Needs to be mentioned, that Linkscape doesn't crawl all the web (still they try to do so), so be patient, hopefully on the next update you are going to have your metrics

Hi Sharma
You can use all the SEOmoz tools, they are great. You should start with stetting your first campaign (if you haven't done this already). You can have your site crawled for errors, you can optimise your pages and check your backlinks.

Unable to get into top 20 even when pages are optimized and most crawl issues resolved
I have a few keyword phrases I've been trying to rank in the top 20 for (starting place). I have optimized for a few different phrases, ranging in keyword difficulty, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get in. In many cases, the exact same results show up for many different variations of the phrases I'd like to rank for. I've read about how google tries to match user intent and so if it decides those results are more relevant then it will always show them, but does that mean that no matter what I do I will always be behind them? The main question I have is: how should I proceed? Should I stop optimizing pages and focus on link acquisition? Or go through and make sure there isn't a single crawl issue? Or focus on optimizing for longer tail keyword phrases? It just feels like I've done so much of what the moz tools have recommended and I'm seeing very little movement over the past couple of months, if anything I see dips in performance after optimization. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to get the domain authority of a subdomain?
For example, www.storage-mart.com and us.storage-mart.com both show the same DA in OSE. I believe it's the DA of the root domain. How can I compare the DA of the 'www' and 'us' subdomains?

Do SEOmoz private questions get answered?
I submitted a question on September 30 and never received a response. I then followed up on October 6 and had an exchange with the support staff, who first told me that the question would be answered and then a couple of days later told me that they had no record of the question. By chance, I had taken a screen shot showing confirmation that the question had been sent (just something I did to remind myself to follow up if I didn't get a response!), which I sent to them along with the question again. That was four days ago, and I've heard nothing since then - not even an automated email saying that the question was received. Is it common for it to take almost a month before a response is received, and to have to follow up multiple times just to get an answer?

How I plan to go about getting business - what do you think?
I prepared a real professional looking website analysis packet. The emphasis is on it being VERY professional and classy, nothing cheesy about it. (If you want a copy send me a p.m. and I will email you one). It will take me about 8 minutes to look at their site and run it through a couple tools and and have a quick list of things that are missing. Another 10 minutes for my office manager to edit the template and print a good looking copy. My plan is to take out and deliver about 10 of these a day and call and follow up on them over the phone. My hope is that when they see the quality and professionalism of the report the chances are low it gets thrown in the trash and when I call I have a REASON to call and not some random idiot cold calling. **What do you think? Any suggestions? ** I have a lot of sales background and don't mind talking to people and I know the key will be in FOLLOWING UP which is what MOST people are NOT willing or able to bring themselves to do. I realize that giving away a 'free' report may devalue what I have to offer in some peoples minds...... thought about that. I am just getting started and only have a few clients but I HAVE produced great things for those few but I need to get the ball rolling a little quicker. Thanks for weighing in with your two cents! 🙂 Have an AWESOME week! Matthew

What is the quickest way to get OSE data for many URLs all at once?
I have over 400 URLs in a spreadsheet and I would like to get Open Site Explorer data (domain/page authority/trust etc) for each URL. Would I use the Linkscape API to do this quickly (ie not manually entering every single site into OSE)? Or is there something in OSE or a tool I am overlooking? And whatever the best process is, can you give a brief overview? Thanks!! -Dan

Getting SEOMoz reports to ignore certain parameters
I want the SEOMoz reports to ignore duplicate content caused by link-specific parameters being added to URLs (same page reachable from different pages, having marker parameters regarding source page added to the URLs). I can get Google and Bing webmaster tools to ignore parameters I specify. I need to get SEOMoz tools to do it also!
