Significant difference with DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool
-
I saw a big difference between DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool. Which DA score is the correct one?
I personally believe the scores on Moz's site is most accurate. Do you happen to have issues syncing the scored to your Chrome app?
Chrome App VS. Moz Research Tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/)
Moz.com: 92 / 88 Here's a screenshot of the difference: https://ipricegroup-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/p/jeremy_chew/ESy9lzUTC3lOl8o93Sx6LsUB8mYXo8LmYuUj2aa0xLXi1A?e=A6OrXsThis was evident in other websites too:
Priceza (priceza.com.my
38 / 24
Shopback (shopback.my 43 / 41

Sam,
Good to know. When did the switchover occur? Was something posted so we'd know?

Thanks for the clarification Samantha. That's really helpful

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help team here!
The reason this is happening is because the Mozbar is now pulling data from our brand new link index, whereas OSE is powered by the old link index.
The way we index the web for Link Explorer (which is now powering the Mozbar) is a bit different than the way we index for Open Site Explorer. With OSE, the index updates only about once a month whereas new data is added to Link Explorer every day. The index for Link Explorer is a different index than the Mozscape index used for OSE and includes a lot more data- we’re seeing more of the web with the new index which is helping to provide more accurate data on which to base these metrics.
In addition, the algorithm we use to calculate DA has been updated with this new index to better correlate with Google’s actual ranking standards so we can provide a more accurate representation of a site’s potential ability to rank.
Pairing the larger index of more data with an optimized DA/PA calculation will result in some changes to DA/PA. We do recommend tracking your DA and PA relative to the competitors you are tracking, as that is where the true value of the metrics is.
I hope this helps to answer your question - please feel free to send any others our way!

Why isn't the Moz crawler getting all of my item pages?
I am stumped and Moz is being terrible to work with. This site has about 40k pages 39,800 of them are item pages roughly. Moz is only finding about 2400 of my pages. So they are missing most but not all of my item pages. I do not know which item pages they are missing. The fact that they are finding about 2k but not the rest leads me to believe the crawler is struggling with pagination. The site is built on Magento 2 and uses the Amasty Layered Navigation extension. Does anyone have any ideas?

Lack of UK Keyword Volume Data In Moz
Is it just me or is there a considerable lack of keyword Volume data for UK Google search terms on Moz? I have 53 keywords and not a single one has any keyword volume data - these are not obscure terms and include the following as examples... leather satchel, leather laptop bag, satchels, leather bag, leather backpack, leather school satchel. Without this information aren't a lot of the services offered by Moz rather academic as it is impossible to know which terms are really worth targeting. What is the solution? I could use US data and hope it is similar but this seems close to a deal breaker for UK subscribers.

Moz Bar not providing any data. Tried logging out/back in and un/re-installing, but no dice.
Used Mozbar for a long time, and normally works fine. Suddenly finding that it is not providing any data. All of the fields are there, but it does not provide me with PA/DA, etc, and all social metrics are at 0. This is across all sites, not just on in particular. Have tried logging out and in, deactivating and activating, and reinstalling. Nothing has worked.

MOZ Onpage grade and Google ranking.
I have found for years that there is not necessarily any connection between the onpage given by Moz and the SEO ranking. "F" page can be #1 in Google for long periods of time, and "A" pages can be unranked. I do not see the consistency, so I am unsure how much time to spend optimizing as suggested. I know there are many factors in rankings, but I just wanted to point out that this lack of consistency makes me hesitate to make changes to well-ranking pages -- especially with algorithm changes happening all the time. It seems that everything is considered over-optimization of late, even if it is all natural language. It is hard to NOT use words or synonyms sometimes on pages, for example... Thank you for your great product. I just want to know how my time to spend on this matter or turn my attention to off-page factors where the inconsistency is hard to figure out.
