Moz Rank & Trust | Page vs Sub vs Root

[Theskimonster]

Hey guys,

Just need some help deciphering my OSE link metrics for my site theskimonster.com .

Page MozRank: 5.51 (highest among my competitors)

Page MozTrust: 5.74 (#2 among my competitors)

Subdomain MozRank: 4.19 (#4 among my competitors)

Subdomain MozTrust: 4.63 (#2 among my competitors)

Root Domain MozRank: 3.89 (#5 or last place among competitors)

Root Domain MozRank: 4.1 (#5 or last place among competitors)

What does this mean? What am I doing right, what do I need to do?

If nothing unusual is going on at the sub-domain level, it's probably one of two things:

(1) Either the site is new enough or has a small enough link profile that our stats are just imprecise.

(2) There's a strong bias toward home-page links, either due to the link-building strategy, the type of the content, or the size of the site (if it's small, for example).

It's not necessarily something to worry about. The only red flag we look for is a low MozTrust to MozRank ratio (could mean low-quality links). It might indicate that some link-building to deep pages could help you, but that really depends on the site, content, etc.

Is the home-page on an unusual sub-domain, or something other than the root?

This is the homepage.

PA = 38

DA = 32

It's a bit hard to speak in generalities, without seeing the page/site, but is this your home-page or a deeper page? In some cases, it is possible for one page on a site to get a lot of authority, but for that authority to be spread thin due to weaknesses in the rest of the site.

What do you Page Authority and Domain Authority look like?
