Moz Trust
-
I saw a severe drop in MozTrust for multiple sites I am working on. We have added some links this month, but would be considered 'spammy' or to be low quality. No other links appear to have been lost / removed.
If we had some very high quality links before and have added some mid-level links can this be what is causing the drop? From the description on SEOmoz, it seemed to me that trust could only go up as links were added. It appears that I am missing something.

Kenny,
Thank you for the information! Your answer completely cleared up my confusion.

Hey,
You can learn more about MozTrust here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust
One thing to keep in mind is that you might not necessarily have lost one of those links but it might not have been picked up in this particular index. I had a look at your campaigns and really only 2 sites have lower Moztrust scores. These sites are also already on the lower side of the scale and it is easier to gain or lose trust on the low end of the spectrum. For example, it is far easier to go from a MozTrust of 3 to 4 than it is to go from a 8 to a 9. You could very well lose some trust if you are only building lower quality links as your averages would decline. This will also have more of an impact for your site when it has a lower MozTrust than when it has a much higher trust.
Hope that helps!
Kenny

I am very sure. This is for multiple sites with similar link profiles. Does anyone know how MozTrust could be lost without losing links? Can an IP change cause this? Are there other ways to loose trust such as having more mid-quality links added?

" No other links appear to have been lost / removed. " you sure?

Duplicate content flagged by Moz that's not actually duplicate content at all
Hi, Moz has flagged a whole lot of pages as dupe content, but I cannot see how they qualify as such.

Best Way to Seemlessly Use Moz and Google Analytics
Hi All, I have Moz Pro and I am beginning to explore Moz Analytics. I currently use Google Analytics for pretty much everything and I am almost at expert level at using the GA interface so I'm ready to learn a new tool and have a second source of data! My question is: what's the best way to get the most of Moz Analytics and GA congruently? Off hand I know that Moz's keyword, rank, and link data, including competitive insights, is more comprehensive than GA. But how else can I use Moz and get the most out of the Moz Analytics? Looking to really dive in and discuss how we can make use of both! Thanks - Vee

SEO Moz Rank Report
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?
