In open site explorer, why are subdomain stats different to domain stats?
-
Hello there
I have just compared some sites in Open Site Explorer.
The page domain, subdomain and domain stats are all different. I get the difference between page and domain stats. But why are the subdomain stats different? There are no subdomains on the site so I expected them to be the same.
What is my confused brain missing???
Many thanks
Wendy

Thanks Keri - that's it. We have the domain.com 301 redirecting to www.domain.com so guess we have it covered anyway
Cheers

Actually, WWW is considered a subdomain. If you have some links going to domain.com and some going to www.domain.com that would account for the different metrics.

Domain Authority
Hi, I've been adding links to my site on directories, article sites and relevant industry blogs. I've also been given and a budget for Google Ads, which has also increased traffic. In the last week my Keyword positions have risen. However, my domain authority has reduced. I know the most important thing is improving traffic and keywords but I'd like to know how I can improve my domain authority. What is causing it to reduce and how can I improve it? Cheers,

Ranktracker entire subdomain option
About http://ranktracker.seomoz.org ... if I search on Google for "my phrase" I can see **www.**mysite.com on first place Doesn't this mean that I should see a similar position on ranktracker if I type "http://mysite.com" (without www) and I select the "Entire Subdomain" radio button ? Because this shows that I am NOT in top 50. It does show up if I type my site with www and I select eider "entire subdomain" or "exact url" radio button. Thank you.

Can you explain social indicators in Open Site Explorer
My Google +'s for my domain were 403 last month and 35 this month.... Based on this I'm assuming OSE's numbers are not cumulative. Are they based on the previous month or a different time period? Any explanations would be helpful. Thanks!

Campaigns - domains / sub domains
Dear SEOmoz folk, At the moment, I have one (rather large) site set up as a campain. I have decided to split off parts of my site into sub domains. My question is, can I set up these sub domains as a completely separate campaign on here? I'd very much like the crawl reports separated out for each one. A very real fear I have is that my site is well over double 10,000 pages, so I never truly see the actual number of errors that I have. Thoughts appreciated. Many thanks, Matt

Where has my Domain Authority gone?
Currently my Domain Authority is at 36, I believe earlier this week it was at 39 and a few months ago it was 41 but I have no way of checking the Domain Authority history. Why would my website's Domain Authority go down like this? I was hit pretty hard (well not so hard compared to other sites, but It feels pretty hard) by Panda 2.0 and I have been making many changes. However, I am 301 redirecting the few removed pages. All paginated pages (page 2,3 etc of each category) I have changed to "noindex, follow" meta tags. For all "thin content' pages I am also using "noindex, follow". And all possible duplicated content I am also using "noindex, follow". So the link juice should still be flowing. So where is my domain authority going? Thanks!
