Page Authority dropped to 1 for subdirectory in my site
-
Hey, one of my sites https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing has had all it's pages drop to a page authority of 1 in Moz and the campaign doesnt appear to be indexing any pages from this directory. We launched a new site in this directory on the 12th and havent been getting any moz love since. The pages are indexable and followable, and are being indexed by google and others. The site on the root domain has been unaffected.
Please help me get my moz campaign back on track.
Thanks!

What you will want to do is search for the external linking sites to see if we have crawled them to find your pages. We do not have to crawl your site to find your backlinks, only the external linking sites.
For your campaign settings the correct URL needs to contain www. The current campaign is added as the root domain and since it re-directs to the sub-domain, our tool is only looking to track the root domain version. The campaign will need to be re-created to track www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ and not automationanywhere.com/testing/

This is still an issue for us. We fixed our redirects (or at least attempted), we've waited several months, and still pages other than the homepage for this domain have no page authority (on the moz toolbar) and are not showing as being crawled by the crawl diagnostic tool from within the moz dashboard.
Can you please provide further assistance?

Hello!
Your site has too many re-directs setup which will prevent our crawler from reaching more pages.
Your campaign is setup to crawl the sub-folder www.automationanywhere.com/Testing
which re-directs to http://www.automationanywhere.com/testing (301) which then re-directs to https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ (303)
You will need to update the re-direct to be a 301 and re-create the campaign to track www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ with the lowercase sub-folder name.
For OSE it may take a few index updates to catch up and the previous URL had low authority to begin with so to help get index you will need to continue to build strong backlinks on sites with high Mozrank. With our site ourselves having high DA it took about 3 months for our links to be moved over from seomoz.org to moz.com
-
I noticed the campaign is listed as /Testing/, which has a 301 to /testing/. I don't know if this would cause the problem you're seeing or not.
I'm assigning this question to our help desk, because it's out of my area of expertise. They'll be back to you within a day or two (Mondays take longer, since we are catching up from the weekend).

I am having problems with both OSE and Crawl Diagnostics on https://automationanywhere.com/testing. In our campaign for /testing CD says only 1 page was crawled. In OSE/moz toolbar the page authority for all pages is 1.
https://automationanywhere.com/ the parent site is working fine.
-
The update was on July 23rd, so it may have been that we crawled your site earlier in the month (before the 12th) and the new pages weren't included at that point. You should start seeing more in OSE at the end of the month.
Are you only asking about OSE, or also about crawl diagnostics? Just making sure I'm answering the question correctly. Thanks!

KeriMorgret,
Thanks for the reply but we launched the new site on July 12, wouldn't this have been before last month's update?
-
We update our metrics about once a month, so if the site on the subdomain was launched after our last index update in July, that would be why you're not seeing any data. Our next update is scheduled for August 28th.

Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"
This has been asked many times but I cannot find an answer. On Open Site Explorer, most URLs I enter show as "No title" which means you have to hover over the URL to see which page is being referred to. I know you'd want an example, so here's your own site Moz.com 🙂 CWrkxZQ

How Does Moz Assign Domain Authority?
When I use Site Explorer to test the following URL, http://jennathuening.results.net/site/index.php, it renders a domain authority of 47. (Clients site on real estate host) There are no page social metrics: no Facebook share no Facebook likes no Twitter tweets no Google+ plus 1's no "just discovered" in 60 days no one has made a post in 3 weeks much or most of the content is duplicate content across all affiliate sites inbound links - only one link - a 301 redirect http://jennathuening.results.net/ Images - 18 (Alt tags missing: 18) Created - 1998-10-15 Registered Org - REMAX RESULTS is associated with ~416 other domains Whois SEO Score 68% AND YET IT HAS A ROOT DOMAIN OF "47" and page authority of 33 More confusing, its page authority of 33 is at that top on blue background and then page 30 just listed below. When I use Site Explorer to test the following URL, http://www.homedestination.com, it renders a domain authority of 26. (Site personally owned and continually update with highly optimized fresh, relevant, quality content with grade "A" moz ranked pages and blog posts) 92 Facebook share 68 Facebook likes 13 Twitter tweets 420 Google+ plus 1's 2 "just discovered" in 60 days Images 25 (Alt tags missing: 0) inbound links - on 48 Root Domains Created - 2002-08-15 9 new indexed blog post so far in August / 19 new indexed blog post in July Whois SEO Score 100% AND YET IT HAS A ROOT DOMAIN OF "26" and page authority of 36 While I am sure there are many other factors as well; it still is hard to see where a "smaller guy" could ever be given an even opportunity to play in the same SEO arena. Could you help me understand better? I like to build a stronger marketing and optimization strategy as we are just beginning AdWord campaigns. | SEO Score | 100% |

Why is my website providing no feedback on the Open Site Explorer?
Basically, whenever i type in my URL, http://www.locksmithplusincportlandor.com, I am presented with the following message: "It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." I have gone through all of the reasons why this could be, and none of them apply to my current situation. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Open Site Explorer Social Stats Limited to 25 Results?
Hi Mozzers, I've exported a few open site explorer queries and was surprised to find that only 25 results returned social stats even for some really large websites. Is that a limitation in the search or a bug? I want to filter everything by twitter shares, so having a complete set of data for that stat is super important. Thanks! Tony
