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

Why is my DA dropping rapidly?
My DA dropped 4 points in a week. I check the discovered and lost linking domains in the same time range, and i have more discovered than lost, and the DAs of those lost/linking are all comparable. How could this be?

Page Authority higher on my old (redirected) domain than new domain?
Hi everyone. I moved the domain my blog was on about 18 months ago, and it's ranking in Google never recovered. I've noticed in the 'Inbound Links' tool that my old domain (jamescrowley.co.uk) shows a page authority of 26, while my new domain (jamescrowley.net) shows a page authority of 15. Any idea why that would be? 301 redirects have been in place for the whole 18 months, so I'd have thought the authority would have been 'passed on' by now? Many thanks James

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?

Flauctuating number of Internal Equity-Passing Links affecting DA
My site has a high number of fluctuating internal equity passing links in open site explorer from month to month, theses range from 30 000 and sometimes as high as 1,million. The fluctuations occur even when I have made no changes onsite. I have noticed that when the internal equity passing links are very high the DA drops and when they are low the DA is high, has anyone ever experienced this with open site explorer ?

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.

I am 100% is a technical problem, cannot be 1 for 6 month. How we can check if DA is wrong? Domain is : iuppy.ro With respect,

Could Spam Analysis significantly lower domain authority?
I use Open Site Explorer to track my site's rankings weekly, and during the first week of June, we found that our domain authority had dropped 5 points after several months of being higher than that score. The only thing that was significantly different, in our business and in Moz, from the week before was the introduction of the new Spam Analysis tool. Am I right to possibly attribute the drop in domain authority to an update on Moz's end? And anyone has troubleshooting advice otherwise, I'd be all ears. Thanks!
