Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
-
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

Hi Carol,
I went through your site and did see a number of pages that had a PA of 24 but I did also see a number that were all different PAs. It sounds like much of your page has the same or similar backlinks profile so it is possible to see them have the same PA.
I hope that helps.
Thanks!

seo moz toolbar with chrome
-
Hi Carol,
I thought the same thing for a site I was researching several weeks ago. I just went back and checked and yes, I cam getting the same problem too as maurizio. All pages below home page have the same Page Authority.
Here is a link to my Q & A post on the same problem: http://www.seomoz.org/q/how-can-we-improve-our-e-commerce-site-architecture-help-best-preserve-page-authority
Keri, one of the SEOmoz community manager's suggested I try again after the index update completed rolling out. I waited, adn still, the same problem. I am emailing the issue into the help desk. It might be good for you to do the same: help@seomoz.org
hope this helps!

Were you using the SEOmoz toolbar or did you go into seomoz? I'm wondering if the toolbar is malfunctioning.
-
No, i have tried
for example your home page have 46 p.a. and
http://www.chrisfrailey.com/about-chris-frailey/ have 24
http://www.chrisfrailey.com/outdoor-family-portrait-promotion/ 13
are different

I have seen the same problem, sporadically, when doing research. Hopefully one of the SEOMoz admins can chime in and give us some insight as to why this happens.

it is www.chrisfrailey.com
I just checked his site using the SEOmoz toolbar tool for google chrome and it was showing the page authority for every single page as the same. Just seems odd.

How to deal with auto generated pages on our site that are considered thin content
Hi there, Wondering how to deal w/ about 300+ pages on our site that are autogenerated & considered thin content. Here is an example of those pages: https://app.cobalt.io/ninp0 The pages are auto generated when a new security researcher joins our team & then filled by each researcher with specifics about their personal experience. Additionally, there is a fair amount of dynamic content on these pages that updates with certain activities. These pages are also getting marked as not having a canonical tag on them, however, they are technically different pages just w/ very similar elements. I'm not sure I would want to put a canonical tag on them as some of them have a decent page authority & I think could be contributing to our overall SEO health. Any ideas on how I should deal w/ this group of similar but not identical pages?

Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?
(Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm

How to remove 404 pages wordpress
I used the crawl tool and it return a 404 error for several pages that I no longer have published in Wordpress. They must still be on the server somewhere? Do you know how to remove them? I think they are not a file on the server like an html file since Wordpress uses databases? I figure that getting rid of the 404 errors will improve SEO is this correct? Thanks, David

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?

Domain / Page Authority - logarithmic
SEOmoz says their Domain / Page Authority is logarithmic, meaning that lower rankings are easier to get, higher rankings harder to get. Makes sense. But does anyone know what logarithmic equation they use? I'm using the domain and page authority as one metric in amongst other metrics in my keyword analysis. I can't have some metrics linear, others exponential and the SEOmoz one logarithmic.
