My domain is almost 3 years old with a lot of backlinks, but my PA=1 DA=1
-
Hi there! I have .photography domain. The domain is 3 years old. We know we have a lot of backlinks. However, the DA and PA are still 1. Also the number of linking root domains shows as zero. Can someone help me with it?
-
Oh thank you!

You should always try and keep track of your backlinks yourself, not rely on a third party tool to tell you who is linking to you. No tool will give you 100% of the linking information, even when it's a regular, popular TLD.

Thank you!!!!!

PA and DA are a third party metric. Meaning that it has no impact whatsoever on Google rankings.
-
Thank you so much Samantha!
So basically, there is nothing wrong with my website itself, right? Google still can index it. The only problem is I can't analyze it? Or PA&DA=1 will effect my google ranking?
Thanks again!

Hi there!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
Generally, pages with a PA of 1, or domains with a DA of 1 haven't been indexed by us for a variety of reasons (generally, the amount and/or quality of links pointing to them).
Unfortunately, in this case it's a different issue. We don't currently support custom Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .photography - this would explain why there's no data for this site in our Index.
Sadly I don't know of a good workaround for this - it's a technical limitation of the tool. I know we plan to expand the list of TLDs we support, but I'm not sure what kind of timeframe we can expect before new TLDs will be supported. You can find the current list of TLDs that we do support here: https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat

I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer from Moz official.

Unable to fully see full spectrum of links built on some backlink checkers
We have built various links in directories and blogs to our website. We can clearly see that these links have been established on these websites. Some we have built well over 6 months ago. However, upon using a range of tools such as Moz Open Explorer, Cognitive SEO Backlink Explorer and SEM Rush's Backlink Checker, we cannot see in any of these backlink checking tools the full spectrum of links we know we have built displayed. In instances of using these tools, we are only seeing a very small sample of links that we have built. Our question here is then threefold: Why is it that a lot of these tools don't pick up the links we know we have built? Does google eventually see all the links we have built? Or does it suffer from the same problem as backlink checkers, unable to identify all built links? Is there a backlink checker that is throughly comprehensive, or close to, in its ability to identify all links? We have heard good things about Ahrefs and would love to hear people's thoughts here.

Issues Checking Backlinks To YouTube Videos
Hi, Hope someone might be able to help here. I have been using OSE to check backlinks to sites without an issue. However, I do seem to have problems checking links to videos. For examplpe, I took a video url and checked backlinks and OSE reports 33 million just discovered, majestic SEO reports none and Ahrefs seems about right with 17. I was wondering if there is something I need to do to ensure OSE returns correct results for individual youtube videos. FYI, I am using the url that appears in the Google search. Thanks Mark
