Domain Audit
-
Hi
What is the best tool out there to doing a full brand audit for company. They've created at least 15 websites and have possibly many domain names which have been ordered by different people over many years.
I need to find the quickest and best tool to do this with. Any suggestions would be great.

Used to dealing with millions of lines of data and analysing so no problem doing it manual, however if there was a tool capable of doing it then why not use the tool if it saves time.............

For best results DIM (Do It Manually!)
Joking apart I would stay away from automatic audits, they are often incorrect and can give you a pack of trouble.
I really like seoma10's answer.
People who are really good at doing audits are usually doing audits, not making "tools". In addition, the job of doing a really good audit has paths and tasks that would be difficult to program because they are different in every situation.
Most people looking for tools are looking for "free tools" and audit experts don't receive a good return by building free tools. However, if you are willing to pay for a tool, then the brain of a very experienced and knowledgeable person is the best tool.

For best results DIM (Do It Manually!)
Joking apart I would stay away from automatic audits, they are often incorrect and can give you a pack of trouble.
I would start by setting yourself out a strategy something like the following:-
- Fix coding and visual errors
- Use Moz Open Site Explorer and find which sites have the best reputation on the web (you can compare several sites in one go).
- Research all the domain names that you have, put them in a spreadsheet, rate them for brandability, reputation and if they have any current positions worth maintaining.
By the end of this you should have a good idea of the quality and how far reaching powerful brands are.
Also don't forget social media, although not directly related to SEO it will give you a good idea is to brand reputation.
Hope understood your question correctly, if not please elaborate and see what I can do to help.

We may have accidentally included the wrong domains in our Disavow file and have since removed most domains leaving the only very highly rated spammy links (using moz's new spam score)in the file. How long can it take for to google to recognise this change?ThanksMike

And other one, can we use the hash tag inside the alt attribute ? Or our domain name with .com in it. Like Google.com or #Google ?

Domain / Page Authority - logarithmic
SEOmoz says their Domain / Page Authority is logarithmic, meaning that lower rankings are easier to get, higher rankings harder to get. Makes sense. But does anyone know what logarithmic equation they use? I'm using the domain and page authority as one metric in amongst other metrics in my keyword analysis. I can't have some metrics linear, others exponential and the SEOmoz one logarithmic.

How is domain authority related to country top level domains?
I've noticed that for some country top level domains (tld) the domain authority returned by open site explorer is based on the domain that has been registered within the tld. For example, domainname.co.uk provides a domain authority specific to the domain. However, for some other country top level domains, this does not appear to be the case. Examples I have found include: domainname.co.nr domainname.co.pt domainname.co.ee For these top level domains the domain authority seems to be the same for every domainname, seemingly implying the domain authority is for the top level domain itself rather than for the domain. Is this a common situation for many country top level domains, so that what I see going in here is the tip of a large iceberg, or does this situation just apply to a very isolated set of country top level domains?

Why do some sites have a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority in OSE??
Hi, I have noticed when using OSE and enter a domain you very often see a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority. If someone could explain why this would happen then I would be very grateful - its my current understanding that page authority would ALWAYS be LESS THAN Domain Authority but that is not always the case (I have seen cases where PA is more than 10 higher then DA) Here's an example where PA > DA http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?site=www.primelocation.com Thanks
