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

UPDATE: Rolling back an adjustment which had adverse effects on DA and PA scores.
UPDATE: Yesterday's (June 4, 2018) adjustment to our DA/PA metrics turned out to have some unanticipated adverse effects. We're rolling back the adjustment, so by midday tomorrow you should see your scores return to what they were earlier this week. We're also implementing some new procedural checks on our end to help make sure it doesn't happen again. We sincerely apologize for any stress or burden this may have caused. We also want to emphasize that DA and PA are relative metrics. The scores will fluctuate slightly with the index, and for that reason, should be used to compare your site with others. We realize this isn't always easy to explain to clients and stakeholders, so we're working on ways to help you all report these metrics in ways that minimize the potential for confusion. ****** We are continuing to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index. As of today, June 14, 2018, You may notice a slight variation in current and historic DA/PA scores in Link Explorer and tools that incorporate our new link data such as Campaigns, Keyword Explorer, and MozBar. This is due to a planned adjustment on our end that could be more noticeable than our standard updates. We made this adjustment in order to account for the rapid growth of our link index over the past 6 months and and stabilize distribution of scores over time. For customers who have been tracking DA scores over time, you may want to make note of this adjustment date in your reporting. Rest assured that our DA and PA scores are still far more stable and accurate than they were previously in Open Site Explorer. Our index is now 20 times larger (and growing) and updating daily rather than monthly, therefore standard fluctuations in the index are far less noticeable in your score than before. DA and PA will still always fluctuate slightly and naturally with the index. As the landscape of the internet changes, so should our index to reflect those changes. Whenever we make an update on our end that could be noticeable on your end, we will let you know. Also, please remember that DA and PA scores should always be understood as relative to other sites’ scores in the index, and reported to clients in relation to their competition and not as a standalone metric of individual performance. If you have more questions about DA or the difference between the new score in Link Explorer vs. the old score in OSE, please read this FAQ page, or post a question below and I or a Mozzer will reach out. Thank you! Ian

How is DA and PA calculated?
I'm interested to know how DA and PA is calculated. Is it calculated exponentially? i.e. increases out of proportion compare to the power and quantity. So assuming all things are equal... One link of DA40 would be much more powerful than two DA20's?

Open Site Explorer doesn't show local directories or citation links?
Why is it that when I run a link analysis for my local business sites I don't see any links from Yelp, Google+, Facebook, any local citations? Regardless of them being follow or no follow isn't the hyperlink to a website from a Yelp profile considered a link? Same with any other local business directory? I know the company is listed on a few dozen because I can see it manually but it's not showing up in Moz? Why is it that all local directories and citations with website are omitted? And since it is not there, where is a good place to go to discover these things? I have tried whitespark. It was okay but honestly I wasn't terribly impressed. The data was good, the UI was just okay, but with smaller clients it was an initial check and then very occasional checks that needed to happen. We would go months without using it.
