My website Moz Page Authority
-
My website is Best Comedy Tickets. The current homepage has a Page Authority is 41, mR : 4:53 and
Domain Authority is 31. However all my sub pages are basically non existent. All the other pages on the site
are a Page Authority of 1, mR : 0.00. Why is this and how do I increase this ? Are there any tips or tricks to
increase subpages ? I appreciate all the feed back and am grateful for any tips or helpful advice.

Hi Joseph! These are both good answers, but I want to add that a PA of 1 often means that our crawler isn't reaching those pages, or that there are no inbound links to them.
Sure enough, when I looked your site up in Open Site Explorer, I saw that the subpages all show that we don't have data.
If you haven't had the chance to look up those pages in OSE, here's the advice the tool returns:
- Check your URL for typos or other errors. Did your URL cut off or contain the wrong punctuation?
- Check out the site's navigation. Sometimes it takes multiple index updates for us to discover pages that aren't linked to from the site's primary navigation. A simple fix is to create a link to the URL from another page on the website.
- The Mozscape index is still growing. Keep in mind that, while large, our index doesn't cover the entire web. If you have a smaller site it's possible we haven't crawled the domains linking to it. Search the pages linking to yours to see if we have indexed their links. If you need help with link building, check-in with our Q&A community.
If you don't see any inbound links to this page:
- Make sure we're not blocked from crawling this URL or site. If our web crawlers are blocked from crawling certain pages (i.e., with "noindex" or Robots.txt), they may not be included in the index.
Does that help at all?

Hello Joseph,
Well, I agree with Alick but I wanna add some extra info
I recently noticed at one of the blogs I'm taking care of (DA of RD is 37), that after 3 years many posts with a lot of content, SEO friendly and seeming normal... still have PA=1 (strange right??). I decided to study and analize the whole blog (350 posts more or less), and... here it goes my results:
- Posts with a lot of words (1,000+ words) SEO-optimized, social OK... BUT no internal inbound links ==> PA=1
- Posts with a lot of words (1,000+ words), SEO-optimized, social OK AND 1 to 3 internal inbound links ==> PA=11 - 20
- Posts with a normal amount of words (400+ words), SEO-optimized and social OK and 3+ internal inbound links ==> PA=20+
So, we were doing everything BUT missing the most important
Maybe you can adapt my conclusions into your case
Now, things go much better for this blog!!!

Hi Joseph,
I presume that you know what is page authority.I am quoting moz on this "Page Authority is difficult to influence directly. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics (MozRank, MozTrust, link profile, and more) that each have an impact on this score."
"The best way to influence this metric is to improve your overall SEO. In particular, you should focus on your link profile—which influences MozRank and MozTrust—by getting more links from other well-linked-to pages."
Please check this to know more on this @ http://moz.com/learn/seo/page-authority
Thanks

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -

Page Rank Update
I was hit by Google’s latest Page Rank update. I know “don’t be obsessed with Page Rank”, but it concerns me. I thought that I was developing a very good link profile and actually was hopeful that it would go to a PR-5 and it dropped to a PR-3. www.simply-bags.com I have another site www.keepsakes-etc.com and have done very little link building and it also dropped to a PR-3. Can anyone give me some honest feedback about my concern?

Multiple links to dead pages
I have just taken over a client and have been shocked to see a lot of wasted 'link juice' from hundreds of websites linking to old/dead pages within my client's domain. My question is - what is the best method to re-capture that juice given that it is impractical to change the links at source. Thanks.

I know someone who has a phone app and wants to put a link to my website in the app. Are there any SEO benefits from this at all or would it only be good for generating traffic?
