      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/api

          And 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-API

              They 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?

                    Best tools for an initial website health check?

                    Hi,
                    I'd like to offer free website health checks (basic audits) and am wondering what tools other people use for this? It would be good to use something that presents the data well. Moz is great but it gets expensive if I want to offer these to many businesses in the hope of taking on just a few as clients and doing a full manual audit for them. So far I've tried seositecheckup.com (just checks a single page though), metaforensics.io and mysiteauditor. Thanks!

                    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

                    There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links.  What about the more basic and easier question:  What outgoing links does this site have?

                    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?

                    How fast can page authority be grown

                    I understand that it is easier to rank for a particular keyword given a higher DA score. How fast can  page authority be established and grown for a given keyword if DA is equal to 10/20/30/50? What are the relative measures that dictate the establishment and growth of this authority? Can it be enumerated to a percentage of domain links? or a percentage of domain links given an assumed C-Block ratio? For example you have a website with DA of 40, and you want to target a new keyword, the average PA of the top ranked pages is 30, the average domain links are 1,000, and the average number of linking domains is 250 - if you aim to build 1,000 links per month from 500 linking domains, how fast can you approximate the establishment of page authority for the keyword?

                    Spam Directories creating misleading Authority ratings

                    How does the website www.starsdirectory.com.ar get a Domain Authority of 54 and a Page Authority of 61 when Google quite correctly gives it a PR 0? It is clearly a spam directory, which Google has recognised. It is very misleading using OSE or Campaign Management when sites such as these (and there are hundreds more we have found) are skewing the results of competitiors through the use of spam links. Is there no way that SEOMoz tools can identify such spam sites when they create their ratings?
