Incorrect domain authority result on SEO tool bar and OSE
-
The SEO tool bar is returning what I believe to be an incorrect domain authority of 71 and showing 24,356,141 lins from 153,051 domains.
The OSE is also returning 71 as domain authority.
Anyone know what could be doing this?
Thanks.

Yeah, it probably will continue to give you skewed results in any of these kinds of tools, not really a way around it that I can think of.
I guess you'll need to put more credence into page authority metrics rather than full domain authority when working out a strategy.

Thanks for looking in to this guys.
I just thout uk.com was another tld - albeit an unpopular one - and I had no idea this sort of sub domain existed.
Wil lthis continue to affect all of the tools in SEOMoz?
-
UK.com provides subdomains, so there is a lot going on there - site:uk.com
It's a bit weird the way OSE counts linking root domains to the domain:
- A query for UK.com in OSE will return the linking RD only to pages on UK.com
- A query for www.UK.com will go deeper
- And finally a query for www.subdomain.UK.com returns the actual amount of linking RD to all the pages within that level of subdomains on UK.com.
At least that's how I think it works
-
Hmm, I wonder how the OSE calculates these sort of subdomains then in terms of DA.
Although, I can't get anywhere near the same number of links to show up in OSE. I get 24M links from 39 domains (that's 39 for uk.com, 20 for the site you linked to, although maybe that's for the awards pages only and the www is different again with 459 domains.).
What page is giving you the 153,000 linking domains?
-
I think it looks pretty OK.
I guess UK.com is a pretty popular website and that's the data you're getting.
-
Yes Barry I'm sure it's wrong for the reasons you state.
-
Why do you think that's wrong?
Is your PR 8+? I know you have about twice as many linking domains than Wikipedia (according to OSE) but that's not all that contributes to authority
-
Could you give us the URL where this is happening?

What SEO Tools Do You Use?
Things changed a bit for me when Raven Stopped using google and SemRush data and I haven't exactly found a solution I'm happy with so Just wanted to use what people use alongside SEOMoz, or what they use instead of certain parts of SEOMoz. Before I was using Raven Tools, Screaming Frog SEO Crawler but currently I'm using Screaming Frog SEO Crawler, SEOMoz (trial), and SerpIQ (trial).

All My Metrics Improved from Last Month but Domain Authority Decreased
Hi SEOMoz community! My site's Domain Authority has decreased from 43 to 41 since last month. I cannot figure out why. ALL my metrics (Domain MozRank, Domain MozTrust, External Followed Links, etc. have increased. See attached image. Is Domain Authority a ranking system based on your peers? Can someone better explain the Domain Authority algorithm? Thanks for any help you can offer. mozrank.png

Ultimate Ranking Tool integrating Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools
I currently use SEOMOZ Campaigns and Advanced Web Ranking for monitoring our KW rankings and those of competition. AWR is a brilliant tool with so many different reports, methods of viewing etc. SEOMOZ campaigns are good but don't come close to the monitoring power of AWR (EG I monitor over 50 competitors on over 1000 KW's on a Daily basis with AWR and recieve a variety of set emailed reports on the data). However, one thing that SEOMOZ campaigns have that is useful is the traffic data - but this is still a bit basic and I think could be improved. The problem with AWR is that it doesn't integrate with your Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools - so it is only showing you half the picture. Knowing how your site ranks for each keyword is helpful, but it would be nice to understand the value of each keyword. For example, being able to see your rank position and how much traffic that keyword has sent you over time would be helpful. It would also be nice to see the number of searches that are performed for that keyword each month . For example, lets say I saw that I was ranking at number 11 for “hover mower” and getting 500 hits per month. Two months from now, if I was ranking at position 7, it would be nice to be able to immediately see how that changed the amount of traffic I was receiving for the term. Is a position of 11 (first item on page two) better than position 10 (last item on page one)? If you can link it to your analytics, you could then link it to your goals, and goal values to get a complete picture of where your keywords rank the value of the rank, and the improvment on that value when rank changes. If browsed around for such software but can't find anything like this - does anyone know of any software that can do this - or something close to this? Many thanks
