Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?

Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority.
1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain?
2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?
Thank you.

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

All links that are pointed to your site are weighted in your Domain Authority score, this includes follow and nofollow links.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

What's the easiest way to see a list of domains ranking well for a keyword with its DA and traffic numbers?

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to easily see, for a given keyword, the ranking domains, their domain authority, and their traffic. Is it possible to get this all on one screen?

Why some of my strong backlinks don't show up in Site Explorer

Hello, Just was checking my backlinks and I see that few very strong backlinks are not showing up in my links list. I check with Moz bar in my browser and those are all dofollow links. Some of those sites link back to me a while ago. Thanks, Regards, Armands

Which trumps: spam ranking or domain authority?

I am trying to manage my backlinks by removing ones with high spam links, but I am having trouble drawling the line between helpful/harmful links. One link, for instance, has a span ranking of 7 indicating a 30% chance of penalization from Google crawlers. This same link, however, also boasts a domain authority of 67 which indicates it is also potentially helpful to my own Google crawler success. My question is, which of these scores (spam rank and domain authority) trumps the other? Should I try to get the site owner to remove it? Am I even thinking about this issue correctly? If so, how would you suggest I draw the line in the future? Ben

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?

How can I use Open Site Explorer to Identify why my own URL's are appearing as inbound links

I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?

Domain Authority Trending Down?

Hi All, Can anyone (preferably a Moz representative) explain why Domain Authority has been trending down on multiple domains? I suspect there is a new index in place? And / Or algo changes? This is making life very difficult for us as our client www.cleanawater.com.au has been working very hard to implement only the whitest of white SEO models.
