Attaining DA, PA and Links Count
-
It's been more than 6 months since my site has been up. I have submitted the site to several online directories. However, I still cant attain a PA and DA. The link count is also not showing. Can someone please help to explain. The site URL is www.toymana.com

Hi Jason
With the great information above from Matt and Alick, I suggest you take a look at a similar question and answer from earlier in the forum.
I discuss some tips and resources that could help get you started on seeing some headway with your PA and DA. Read that here.
Let me know if you need anymore help! Good luck, sir!

Hi MattAntonino,
Next so much for your reply. I will try the suggested and see how it works.
Thanks. -
I don't think the directories you've submitted to are listing you yet - or they have your URL wrong. According to Moz you have 0 links. According to Majestic Historic Index (a very large backlink database) you also have zero links. Ahrefs finds 3 backlinks total, from:
and submitse.com
These are very, very low quality links.
When I search your url in Google I find your Youtube channel and your Facebook page among other links. The Youtube links don't have hyperlinks, just text. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChDJ0RcYN00
Add http:// and link these descriptions first.
Even your link in the post above is unlinked. I'm not suggesting you use Moz forum for link building but you seem to never use the http:// and that's why a lot of links aren't real links. You have more "text links" than real clickable links.
Basically, you don't have any real links. That's why you don't have a PA or DA higher than 1. While these metrics, by themselves, won't get you ranking, you really do need to generate some awareness of your site so it would be a good start to work on authority, link building, fixing your text links, etc.

Hi Jason,
First of all don't focus on the directory only. I don't know on which directory you have submitted your site and most of the directories have been ineffective for a long time now.
I'm sharing an article on this that will help you to increase PA & DA @ http://www.searchenginejournal.com/50-ways-to-increase-the-domain-authority-of-your-site-infographic/77281/
Thanks

Unsolved how do I check the outbound links?
Hello everyone,
Link Explorer | | ZeonAley
I have a question about the links explorer: how do I check the outbound links? I have a website that I want to know its outbound links. Do I have to buy the Moz Pro method for that?0 -
None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile...
I'm trying to reduce the amount of spam flags our website has using the Open Site Explorer tool. Currently, we have 2/17 flags based on: Large Site with Few Links - We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size No Contact Info - None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile The "few links" can be ignored, we're working on this. We don't have a visible email address on the website and we don't particularly want one. We prefer customers to fill out our online form or to call us. Moz say "none of the pages crawled contain an email address OR links to a social profile" - we do have social buttons on every page of the website, but these are official Facebook and Twitter buttons that are rendered with Javascript, so don't actually appear in the page source on load. If we replace these with actual links to our pages using Facebook and Twitter icons, will this flag be removed since Moz are saying "or links to a social profile" - making it sound optional. Thanks!

Inbound Links - How accurate or up-to-date is Open Site Explorer?
When I type my domain into OSE I get a list of linking domains. Most of them I have seen before and I know were active last year. However, when I click through, many of these links have been removed (which is what I wanted/requested) and some of the pages return 404. Google (via link:www.mydomain.com) doesn't show these links as active either. My question is why does OSE show them? Thanks

Why do links from UCAS to London South Bank University not get reported as external links
Links on the following page at UCAS http://search.ucas.com/provider/1504/london-south-bank-university?Vac=1&AvailableIn=2015&ProviderQuery=london south bank university&ret=providers do not appear to be listed as external links in Open Site Explorer reports. For example there is a link on the UCAS page to http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/schools-departments . But when I check the Open Site Explorer report for http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/schools-departments no link from UCAS is recorded.

Why are no-follow links in my blog comments across the web showing up as "equity-passing"?
When I make comments on blog posts (and there's a link in my comment or my name is the link to my site), the links are always no-follow (as they should be). But, when I check Open Site Explorer, the new links show up as equity-passing. Are they actually passing equity or is this a mistake?

Does Feedburner URL of the Home Page Carry Link Equity?
Hi There, During an SEO Audit, I found that OSE categorizes Feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed. For example, the following link has been categorized under link-equity passing and followed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpoonflowerBlog I have heard that a lot of SEOs saying feedburner links don't carry any link juice. If that's true, then why does OSE categorize feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed? I would appreciate if someone from the Moz staff could take some to answer this. Thanks.
