Page Authority different between Moz Open Site Explorer and On Page analyser
-
I have a client who has an old URL with 3 linking root domains and 4 links, with a PA of 24. This is on the open site explorer.
There is a 301 redirect in place to direct this old url to the new url.
When he uses the Moz bar on page, it shows that he has a PA of only 1 with no LRDs or inbound links?
Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if this could affect further page links across his site?
It would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hey there Lisa,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So something to consider here is how long ago he switched domains/URLs and how long ago those 301 redirects were implemented. Using 301 redirects will redirect your link juice (PA/DA), but you might need to wait a little while (a few index updates) for our crawler to pick up those changes and display the appropriate numbers.
If the domain switch was somewhat recent this would explain it. Our Mozscape Index is not a live representation of links. We can store link data for up to 190 days (~6 months) if links are not re-discovered from external linking sites. Generally, most new links that appear in our Index were crawled 3 months ago as this is the current timeframe it takes for us to process new links (and therefore to find and follow/process the 301 redirects).
I hope this helps to explain. If you have any other questions, just let us know!

My company has about 70 live pages. Moz crawled 6k. Why?
My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

Hi Moz Community, When I go to search for backlinks for any site, I am getting a blank screen after starting the search. This is happening to every search I perform for any URL or root domain. It's been happening for about a week now and I am not able to find any solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ryan

Why is Moz not crawling my backlinks
Hi my website www.dealwithautism.com is 3 months old and has been on DA 1 and PA1 ever since, even though the site is actively developed with quality content (a couple of posts already have 1k+ fb likes acquired editorially, while that doesnt necessarily improve SERP, it sure tells you that the post is engaging). In contrast another site of mine, www.deckmymac.com which is hardly ever managed, not have more than 15 posts and just 1 backlink, has DA 14. Running an on page analysis on www.dealwithautism.com I observed that Moz has not identified any backlinks nor social signals (except G+). However, according to Webmasters, I have 57 links, 51 of them to the root. Even Majestic is able to report 32+ backlinks. So what am I missing? Certainly, at this stage my website doesn't deserve DA 1, or does it?
