DA/PA against PR
-
Hi,
Very quick question.
If the DA/PA of a website is 70/80+ I would assume the PR would be 5+.
I have come across this DA/PA 70/80+ and PR 2.
First is the DA/PA not connected in anyway to PR from the metrics they take into account?
Secondly which one would you go for if you had to choose one:
1. DA/PA 60+ and PR 2
2. DA/PA 30+ and PR 4
Thanks

you're welcome

Thanks,
Also I misunderstood your answer so apologies. Indicator works for me.
Thanks again, very helpful.

DA/PA is a good indicator. Not any more than that though. I didn't say i wouldn't consider it. I said I still maintain that I wouldn't base my decision on it.
Can someone please explain how you would manipulate the PR to be higher then it should be?
The most common way involves 301ing to a higher PR site until it reports the higher value, then removing the redirect. The usual reason for this is to sell links of the fake PR site until the next toolbar PR update.
Worth being aware of.

Greg has hit the nail on the head with this one.

@Mat so you think the DA/PA value is not something to consider when researching a website? Because that kind of puts me in a hole as I use those metrics to give me a rough overview of how power full a website is.
Just so everyone knows I get these kind of mixed metrics a lot when it comes to researching for guest blogging.
I do really need to know if DA/PA can be trusted as a good indicator a website is good or not (For building links).
-
That example is a bit different as it has been faked. PR is often faked on blog networks that are build for link purposes.

I have come across this many times.
Have a look at this one.

I tend to trust Open Site Explorer much more when comparing the two.

SEOMOZ's DA/PA are independently derived figures based on similar concepts to Google's pagerank. The two are totally independent of one another, but there is correlation because of concepts they share.
Secondly which one would you go for if you had to choose one: 1. DA/PA 60+ and PR 2 2. DA/PA 30+ and PR 4
Both . Actually I wouldn't base my decision on either metric. I'm finding all such metrics to have even more limited value this year. I'd much rather look at the site itself and what links to it.

How do I combat title tag issues in Moz because of long company/site name? [Currently using Yoast SEO Plugin]
I've only just started to dip my toe into the SEO pool, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. I've been working heavily in the Moz tool and the Yoast SEO plugin to clean up the meta descriptions on our site, as there were many pages without descriptions in place (we just transferred from a different CMS to Wordpress within the last month or so). Now I'm noticing on our Site Crawl that we have 60+ pages that have title elements that are considered too long. When I go in to fix these issues on our blog posts (as this is where most of the issues lie), Yoast is already giving me the green light on the title lengths. I've discovered that the reason why Moz is telling us that many of our site lengths are too long is because "| Parker Staffing Services" is added to the end of our title tags automatically. Deep breath Now that you've heard all of the backstory... Is there a way that I can prevent that site title (which is 26 characters all by itself! Talk about limiting!) from displaying on search engines when our blog posts or pages show up in search results? I've poked around in the Titles & Metas settings that come with Yoast, but I fear making too many changes will result in me screwing something up. Help an SEO beginner out? 🙂

The SEO-Tool onpage.org (german) offers an interesting tool to analyse your text. But there are differences between languages and factors like proximities, synonyms etc. What are your experiences? tools? does mOz develop a tool for this? This would be a nice Feature for the On-Page Grader! best regards,

How come a site with low PR and DA is first on everything?
Hi All, I've encountered a site that has PR3 on most important pages (and less on others but no more on any) and DA according to MOZ in the low 40's however it is first on everything on his niche (many keywords). How is it possible? Since it is possible, what is the importance of these metrics anyhow? Thanks

Why aren't canonical tags reducing duplicate page title/content?
We have canonical tags set up for a feature page on one of our sites. This site has an image gallery controlled by javascript. To aid the user experience the image can also be specified by a URL parameter (the javascript also uses this URL to fetch the images). The SEOMoz report complains that the links to these images have duplicate page titles and content. To try and combat this we set canonical tags to point only to the original page, without the slideshow parameter. e.g. http://www.example.com/feature-page/ http://www.example.com/feature-page/?slideshow=1 -> canonical tag set to http://www.example.com/feature-page/ http://www.example.com/feature-page/?slideshow=2 -> canonical tag set to http://www.example.com/feature-page/ The latest SEOMoz report has come back and the errors still exist. What can we do to remove these error messages? Thanks

Seomoz Spider/Bot Details
Hi All Our website identifies a list of search engine spiders so that it does not show them the session ID's when they come to crawl, preventing the search engines thinking there is duplicate content all over the place. The Seomoz has bought a over 20k crawl errors on the dashboard due to session ID's. Could someone please give the details for the Seomoz bot so that we can add it to the list on the website so when it does come to crawl it won't show it session ID's and give all these crawl errors. Thanks
