Is there any study or detailed report on How Moz & Google calculates domain authority ?
-
I want to know, Is there any detailed report or study done by someone on the Domain authority calculations between Google & Moz.
Mainly, I would like to know
1. How Google calculates Domain Authority and How Moz does ?
2. Is there any correlation in majority of the cases or both differs vastly ?

Hi there!
Domain Authority is a proprietary metric that specifically comes from Moz, so Google does not use it. We do not disclose the exact formula for Domain Authority but you can read about the factors used to calculate in our article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority
I hope that helps!

Moz error with domain and page authority if no www in my domain
Hello, so our domain is website.com and we do not use www in our domain. Now moz shows our page authority as huge (website. Com) and domain authority very low. But our domain is our page that we rank. Is this due to the fact that we use no www and we rank our main index page? Am I correct? Thanks!
