Why would my domain authority keep changing when I refresh?
-
Hi All,
I've noticed that my domain authority is changing every time I refresh SEO MOz. In some instances it increases and other time stays the same as a previous month. Is this just a mid-transitional stage? or is there a potential bug in the system? It's making it difficult to know what is really happening.

Hey all,
It looks like there may be a bit of an issue causing it to randomly send through the wrong information on the Link Analysis.
Can you do me a favor and send your Campaign information into the help team at help[at]seomoz.org so we can track this? That will help us hunt down the issue and get it resolved as quickly as possible.
Thanks!

I noticed that the SEOmoz bar was particularly slow yesterday to populate the PA/DA numbers. In addition, the fields are not left empty until it can populate the final numbers; sometimes the numbers will update a couple of times until the final numbers are written. So, when it's really slow, the intermediate numbers could be interpreted as the final answer. On the occasion the numbers look odd to me, I will refresh the page and that often resolves the issue. This is rare, however. Most of the time it works just fine.
Best,

I noticed that with my account yesterday as well. I was shocked to log in to see my DA dropped by 30%. I think it is just a bug in the system. Today the values have returned to normal.
The correct DA is the the one from 11/28/12. The next Linkscape Index Update is scheduled for 12/27. Your DA value only changes about once a month when the index is updated.
Here is a link to the update schedule: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule

Question on changing URL structures
We have a lot of "Long URL" errors in moz, and our URLs have no helpful format to them. For example, our blog URLs currently have a date and the title so they end up looking like this: blog/year/month/day/long title that never ends. If I were to setup a new URL structure using MOZ best practices, can I just make the change going forward and redirect a few high trafficked links to this new structure? Or do I really need to make the change for the website (specifically blog) as a whole to see a positive impact? I know this means there may be an initial drop in traffic which I'd like to avoid.

One of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google.
one of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google. I was wondering if it would be trouble or beneficial to add about 10 directory links in the the highest page rank directories in the seomoz directory list. It looks like i only have about 17 root domains linking to my site so far that are natural links and not directory links. i have no directory links as of yet. Will this help or does it spell trouble getting this many directory links in a few months? Thanks mozzers! Ron

Domain redirection www or without
when i start campain for the first time it says " "Roger has detected a problem: We have detected that the domain www.xxxxxxtour.com and the domain xxxxxxtour.****.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here." How to resolve this and how can i redirect xxxxxxtour..com to www.xxxxxxtour.com ? Thank you

How can I reduce the number of links on a page and keep the site easy to navigate?
The SEOmoz Site Crawl indicates that we have too many on page links on over 9,970 pages. This is an ecommerce site with a large number of categories. I have a couple of questions regarding this issue: How important is the "too many on page links" factor to SEO? What are some methods of reducing the number of links when there are a large number of categories? We have main categories with dropdown menus currently and have found that they are used to browse and shop the store.

Page Authority vs Domain Authority
I'm using the site explorer to compare a potential clients site against 4 others, in an incredibly competitive market. Each of their competitiors has a higher page authority (on the home page) than their domain authority. This is untrue for the clients site. (which have much lower metrics all round) Any input as to what this means/says about their competitors who I would guess (looking at some of their backlink profiles) have done some failry widespread grey hat stuff in the past. (Though haven't we all 😉 )
