How to check Page Authority in bulk?
-
Hey guys,
I'm on the free trial for SEOmoz PRO and I'm in love. One question, though. I've been looking all over the internet for a way to check Page Authority in bulk. Is there a way to do this? Would I need the SEOmoz API? And what is the charge?
All I really need is a way to check Page Authority in bulk--no extra bells and whistles.
Thanks,
Brandon

OK, great, thank you.
Is there a forum on SEOmoz where I can ask for professional help? Or do I just submit another question?
Thanks.

No worries, we're all noobs at some point. I'm currently working on something similar as a side project (doesn't have the bulk aspect though, just setting up a personal system to keep tabs on certain link targets via url-metrics and recording/comparing aggregate results over time). I'd say your best bet for finding someone would be here - whether that's allowed, I don't know either - or maybe even just source a hungry computer science undergrad at your local college? For someone well-versed in PHP or similar, this probably wouldn't take more than a few hours of time spent coding.
You'd need to provide them with the SEOMoz API documentation, and also follow the basic steps here to generate the credentials for your account:
http://www.seomoz.org/apiAnd also, I'd start by digging around in the API Wiki linked at the bottom of that page. Lots of good writeups for making basic API calls and such, sample code, etc. You can even make a basic call with just a web browser if you'd like to see what kind of data you get from the API.

Heh, I'm a total and utter PHP noob. I don't know if this is allowed to say here (apologies if it's not), but I'd be happy to pay someone to do it for me here. If I can't do that, can you recommend a good place for me to hire someone to write the code? And what do I need to provide them for them to be able to write it?
Thank you so much!

If you have some basic coding skills (or even just a decent grasp), I would definitely go with the free API. You can pass the url-metrics API all your URLs in bulk via PHP and return page authority for each. I'd go into more details, but SEOMoz has some pretty good documentation already:
http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL-Metrics-APIThey have a cap at 1mil URLs per month, so hopefully your definition of "bulk" doesn't exceed that.

Hi Daniel,
I have a long list of different URLs (different domains), and I want to check the Page Authority for all of them.

You can do a linkscape backlink analysis on a site and get 10k backlinks and export to excel - can also use OSE(open site explorer).
I think you're going to need to be more clear as to what you want to check on mass - serp's for a specific keyword perhaps or do you mean backlinks for a specific site/domain?

Can you see changes in page authority quarterly?
Is there any definitive answer to when page authority can change? I'm trying to see if it's a trackable metric but not sure since (I believe) it's something that takes time. Is there any article/reference that speaks to the fact that the page authority can take time to change? I do know that changes to the page, competitors pages and a multitude of factors go into the score, but I'm trying to see if there is a 'simple' answer for the timing of the scoring.

Hyphens in Page Titles?
We are using a combination of keywords using our brand name. So the keyword is structure as: brand name - word (separated by a hyphen) When I run a report on the page for the keywords that have the above format, the report tells me that I need to use the keyword in the title of the page. Is it okay to have hyphens in Page Titles? I assume not, but I want to double check. Thanks, Alex

Why did SEOMoz only crawl 1 page?
I have multiple campaigns and on a few of them SEOMoz has only crawled one page. I think this may have to do with how I set up the campaign. How do I get SEOMoz to crawl more than one page on these campaigns.

On-Page URL
Hopefully I am missing something basic... I can't see how to specifically add and delete On-Page reports. It seems like running a report adds it but how to delete? Also, how does one change the URL for a report? I have re-organized some pages and can't seem the get the on-page report to keep my URL change. Here is what I tried. From the On-Page report card for a keyword I changed the URL and ran the test. Test runs ok but if I navigate back to the summary my old bad URL is still there.

My campaigns are not analyzing all my pages.
Hi I created a campaign against http://www.universalpr.com, and this campaign reports that only one page has been crawled. This site uses a jsvascript redirect to the real page which can be found through the following: www.universalpr.com/wps/portal/universal/univhome/!ut/p/c5/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os_hQdwtfCydDRwN_Jw9LA0-LAOPQYCdDI_9QY_1wkA6zeAMcwNFA388jPzdVPzi1WL8gO68cANNcdLU!/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/ Now I also attempted to create a campaign against this page in case that the javascript redirect was breaking things, but that campaign also reported 1 page crawled. Can anyone instruct me as to what I'm doing wrong? Thank you
