DA hasn't Moved over
-
We moved our site over a couple of weeks ago from bi-mi.com to bimi.co - its a magento site. We followed instructions to wait 2 weeks and upload a coming soon page etc to help google realise it was not just a parked domain.
We moved everything over and then set a hta record up to redirect the "bi-mi" base domain to "bimi" , we then logged teh site move within web master tools also and I set the bimi.co preferred url etc.
However its been about a week and half now and the DA is still showing as 1 and bi-mi (the old site that is redirecting) is showing as 18
Is it just patience needed here or have any of you also come across this issue?

Hi Chenzo, yes magento to magento, 301 redirect on the base domain was made after the site was made live and indexed. Any advice much appreciated! I am really enjoying these forums - hope you don't all get sick of me! haha

DA = Moz. Much slower crawl rate and index updates so DA will take longer to update. Not to mention you only have 1 backlink in OSE so you really shouldn't be worried about DA. Your 301 redirects seem fine so everything should go smoothly. What more important is what your organic traffic is looking like.

Hi Kelly,
Fist of all, there is always going to be a drop off of some sort when you 301 one site to another, but I don't know how OSE will report this. I would also suspect that the DA will update when Moz gets around to crawling your site again - but I don't know how long this will take.

Kelly,
You went from magento TO magento?
Did anyone use 301 re-directs during the build?
Your pal,
Chenzo

Drop in DA and PA and lost a load of links
Hi Mozzers, I just check a site in OSE and while the inbound domains are up the total links have dropped and therefore DA and PA. How can I find which links have gone. I'm assuming a domain passing 1000's of links has either gone down or broken the link - can I use the ISE tool to fine which links have been recently broken? I know there is just discovered for new links. If not can you recommend a tool please. Thanks

Why aren't my "page social metrics" increasing?
I post a lot to Facebook & twitter, & my "page social metrics" haven't budged in 4 weeks. I even stopped using bit.ly & stated the full URL as a test. Still no change. The fb account is /getgoodgifts & twitter is /giftsing. Thoughts on why social metrics aren't increasing?

Backlinks not showing on Open Site Explorer's Just-Discovered Links
Hi guys! My name is Edgar. I've recently been adding a bunch of backlinks to the site i work for, and most of them have a very high DA (DA > 80. Wohoo!). Nevertheless i'm often feel a bit frustrated when i check my site with the OSE, because just a few part of these links are showed in the just-discovered section, although i created them few days ago. So, i would like to know why is this happening, how long it take for my links to get crawled, and when can i stop getting frustrated on this? Than you very much! Edgar.

Open Site Explorer Doesn't Discover Link for my website
Hi, I've been trying to use Open Site Explorer to track link to my own website but it always comes up with no data and shows me this message: It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL. However, this site has been up and running for more than 9 months and google webmaster can track all the links to my website. I've also followed MOZ's support instruction to tweet a bit.ly links with my website but still no luck at all. My website is www.carpetcleanerperthwa.com.au Has anyone seen the same problem before? Any help would be much appreaciated. Thanks Will

Why Moz Doesn't See or Count Our Backlinks?
Hi Moz Community! We have been working hard to improve our Moz metrics, measuring against a high ranking competitor to help us set our goals. Our Majestic and Webmaster Tools find tens of thousands of external backlinks pointing to our domain. That's all well and good. Moz's Open Site Explorer, however, only finds 900 total links - including internal links! This being the case, we have worked diligently to build a variety of great external backlinks, creating Bitly links and encouraging clicks on those through social promotion. Yet, our competitor has over 7,000 external backlinks in Moz's index, while ours is not growing relative to their number of backlinks. Can anyone share with us what they do to tell Moz about their backlinks? We already know we have many more backlinks than our competitor, from trusted domains with good authority, yet it seems Moz is not discovering them. We just want to understand how to use these Moz metrics to create meaningful calls-to-action. Otherwise, it seems like a gargantuan waste of time, and our team has difficulty getting buy-in from our company to put time and assets toward tasks based on our Moz numbers!
