Open Site Explorer not attributing page authority
-
Hi there,
I have been having an issue with OSE attributing page authority to one of the sites I have been looking at. The homepage page authority is fine but any page after this does not have any according to OSE. I have been in touch with Moz and they have stated it's because there are no external or internal links pointing to any of these pages. However, I know that their are internal links pointing to these pages from the homepage in the nav. The domain is: https://healys.com/
If anyone has any ideas what may be going on that would be great.
Thanks!

Hey!
Thank you for your response, the only thing I am wondering about is why it hasn't picked up any page apart from the homepage. I would expect it to have found something other than the homepage by now?
Thanks

Hi there!
The Moz index is large, but it does not cover the entire web. We work on a breadth-first approach, so it's much more likely we'll have data from the top level pages of your site (like the homepage) before we find link data for individual pages lower in the site structure. If we are not reporting link data for a page, it does not mean there are absolutely no links out the on the web, it means we just haven't found them yet!
We generally recommend using a wide variety of tools to get a full picture of your backlink profile. We tend to focus on collecting higher quality links rather than quantities of links. The best way to get your page to show up in our index is to work on building high-quality links from sites with high Domain Authority and MozRank/MozTrust!
I hope that helps clarify things!

Raising Domain Authority
Hi everyone, I'm looking to find out if there are any tried and tested ways to raise DA. We have regular articles, a good backlink profile, we post regularly to social media, but we seem to be stuck at DA27. One of our competitors who has no real backlinks, only backlinks from citations and no social media posts has a DA of 31 which we find quite confusing. Thanks in advance!

Why does Open site explorer only show a fraction of the linked Domains that Google does?
One of my sites ( http://www.georgerossphotography.com ) shows 19 root domains and 155 links on Open Site Explorer. This doesn't pass the sniff test with me and when I look at Google Webmasters they show 120 domains with 1,870 links. I am assuming that Google use it's own data for ranking purposes which makes me question the validity of Open Site Explorer? Am I missing something ? I have been using OSE as my primary tool and now I feel that it has little value. I would appreciate any feedback. George.

OpenSite Explorer
Hello Moz World, Does anyone know how long it takes Moz's OpenSite Explorer to recognise / index back links? I have generated a number of back links for pages in the last 7 days (not "no-follow") and they are not yet showing up? Any advise would be much appreciated. Kind regards Ben

Why doesn't my site show up in Moz Site Explorer
I started this website about 2 months ago, www.guyetteroofing.com. I know it still needs a lot of work, but I can't find any information on it on the site explorer tool.

Is there an option that's more precise over Open Site Explorer?
I've had folks explain to me before that OpenSiteExplorer is just an estimation, etc. but there are some fairly easy statistics that seem to be different and it makes me nervous that either its wrong or I'm doing something wrong. As you can see in the image, moz isn't read social metrics correctly. It actually used to be pretty spot on, but as you can see with Google+'s its off. Maybe not a big deal right? But for my clients new Moz Analytic print outs it makes somewhat of a difference. Any help? UlwQs3w
