How long does Moz takes to update DA and PA value?
-
I used to work daily on my office website https://quintdaily.com/ and follow link building strategy. however, since more than 40-50 days, there is no movement in my DA, as the PA has just lifted up. However, there is no changes in Domain Authority so far. Besides, other than this website, im working on location wise SEO projects, but, i can find those websites Domain Authority changed in less 20 days. Is there is time period in changing the Domain Authority once it touched DA 30+?

To be honest, Moz's update frequency for Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) values is not publicly disclosed and it's not a fixed time frame. It's more like a "crawl, process & update" cycle.
From what I've gathered from Moz's documentation is what I can share. Moz prioritizes high-traffic sites, so smaller or less popular sites might take longer to be crawled and updated.
In general, it's safe to assume that Moz updates DA & PA every 2-3 months, but the exact timing is not publicly disclosed. If you're concerned about the accuracy of your DA and PA scores, I recommend focusing on creating high-quality contextual backlinks, improving your website's user experience etc.

It gets once a month. Waiting for my site Fintechzoom DA to be updated.

I think moz takes a bit long to update. But as of my research DA DR doesn't count nor create any impact. Like Ehsaas Kafalat Program DA is not so much but it is getting traffic.
-
Moz typically updates Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) values about once a month. However, the exact timing can vary slightly, usually taking around three to four weeks for the updates to roll out. So, if you're eagerly awaiting the latest DA and PA values for your website, keep an eye out around that time frame for the most recent data.

@sabelacarson Here is my website name, YES IT Labs

I hope to see good updates on my website, [backlink services](link url) from Al-Azeem website

Ah, the waiting game! Moz typically updates its Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) values every 1-2 months. It depends on their index update schedule as bloggersman. Patience is key in the world of SEO metrics, my friend! Keep creating awesome content, and the updates will follow.

Depends upon few different factors i think!
How often is MOZ bot is coming on your site and how many time it had crawled it and moreover do you have any backlinks on that Page or Post.
All those factors i think collectively select when and how much they should update your site DA and PA.

I have had a website ebookvie.com for more than 45 days but the PA DA index has not been updated. Don't know how much longer I need to wait
-
The frequency at which Moz updates Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) values can vary, and it's important to understand the general timelines involved.
-
Scheduled Updates: Moz typically updates its DA and PA metrics on a monthly basis. This means that you can expect to see new data roughly once a month. Keep in mind that these updates are usually rolled out over the course of a few weeks, so not all websites will see their metrics change simultaneously.
-
Data Collection: Moz's crawler, which collects data from the web, continuously analyzes websites and their backlink profiles. This data is then used to calculate DA and PA. The exact timing of when your website is crawled can vary, so even though updates are monthly, the specific day your site's data is refreshed may differ.
-
Algorithm Changes: Moz periodically updates its algorithms to improve the accuracy of its metrics. These algorithm updates can lead to fluctuations in DA and PA values. Major algorithm changes are less frequent but can have a significant impact when they occur.
-
Historical Data: Keep in mind that DA and PA are historical metrics, so they reflect a website's performance over time. This means that recent changes in your site's backlink profile or content might not be reflected immediately in these metrics.
In summary, Moz updates its DA and PA metrics on a monthly basis, but the exact timing of when your website's data is refreshed can vary. Additionally, be aware that algorithm changes and the historical nature of these metrics can result in fluctuations over time. It's essential to focus on the quality of your website's content and backlinks rather than obsessing over day-to-day changes in these metrics.

actually this is an interesting question. I also appreciate how long it will take to update da and pa by moz. Hopefully someone can answer this important question and its original source.

Hey – great questions, also good to hear that your PA is improving (as a result of your link building efforts, I assume?).
If you're tracking this site as a "campaign" in Moz, then it reports on DA and PA on a month over month basis. It's also not uncommon for a DA to remain stagnant. That said, I have a few caveats in regards to reporting on DA/PA over time:
- "domain authority" and "page authority" are scores developed by Moz and while they're useful for getting a gauge of the quality and quantity of a site's internal link profile, these aren't necessarily ranking factors nor scores that search engine use to rank your site. Moz states on the above link "Domain Authority is not a metric used by Google in determining search rankings and has no effect on the SERPs."
- given that Moz's own calculation of/algorithm for DA and PA change, reporting on DA and PA over time are not reliable metrics for performance.
I'd instead encourage you to evaluate your link building performance by:
- reputation / trust of a given linking domain. Are you earning links from reputable sources with high editorial control, like Business Insider, Time, Forbes, etc?
- referrals from acquired links. Are you actually gaining referral traffic from these links?
- UX metrics of referral traffic. Once referred users land on your site, are they doing/converting/purchasing/etc. the actions you want them to?

Robots.txt blocking Moz
Moz are reporting the robots.txt file is blocking them from crawling one of our websites. But as far as we can see this file is exactly the same as the robots.txt files on other websites that Moz is crawling without problems. We have never come up against this before, even with this site. Our stats show Rogerbot attempting to crawl our site, but it receives a 404 error. Can anyone enlighten us to the problem please? http://www.wychwoodflooring.com -Christina

Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?
(Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm

Block Moz (or any other robot) from crawling pages with specific URLs
Hello! Moz reports that my site has around 380 duplicate page content. Most of them come from dynamic generated URLs that have some specific parameters. I have sorted this out for Google in webmaster tools (the new Google Search Console) by blocking the pages with these parameters. However, Moz is still reporting the same amount of duplicate content pages and, to stop it, I know I must use robots.txt. The trick is that, I don't want to block every page, but just the pages with specific parameters. I want to do this because among these 380 pages there are some other pages with no parameters (or different parameters) that I need to take care of. Basically, I need to clean this list to be able to use the feature properly in the future. I have read through Moz forums and found a few topics related to this, but there is no clear answer on how to block only pages with specific URLs. Therefore, I have done my research and come up with these lines for robots.txt: User-agent: dotbot

Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 My questions: 1. Are the above lines correct and would block Moz (dotbot and rogerbot) from crawling only pages that have numberOfStars=0 parameter in their URLs, leaving other pages intact? 2. Do I need to have an empty line between the two groups? (I mean between "Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0" and "User-agent: rogerbot")? (or does it even matter?) I think this would help many people as there is no clear answer on how to block crawling only pages with specific URLs. Moreover, this should be valid for any robot out there. Thank you for your help!0 -
Screaming frog, Xenu, Moz giving wrong results
Hello guys and gals, This is a very odd one, I've a client's website and most of the crawlers I'm using are giving me weird/ wrong results. For now lets focus on screaming frog, when I crawl the site it will list e.g. meta titles as missing (not all of them though), however going into the site the title is not missing, and Google seems to be indexing the site fine. The robots.txt are not affecting the site (I've also tried changing the user agent). The other odd thing is SF gives a 200 code but as a status tells me "connection refused" even though it's giving me data. I'm unable to share the clients site, has any one else seen this very odd issue? And solutions for it? Many thanks in advanced for any help,

Meta Tag Descriptions not being found in Moz Crawls
Hey guys, I have been managing a few websites and have input them into Moz for crawl reports, etc. For a while I have noticed that we were getting a gratuitous amount of errors when it came to the number of missing meta tags. It was numbering in the 200's. The sites were in place before I got here and a lot of the older posts no one had even attempted to include tags, links of the page or anything. As they are all Wordpress Sites and they all already had the Yoast/Wordpress SEO plug-in installed on them, I decided I would go through each post and media file one at a time and update their meta tags via the plug in. I personally did this so I know that I added and saved each one, however the Moz crawl reports continue to show that we are missing roughly 200 meta tags. I've seen a huge drop off in 404 errors and stuff since I went through and double checked everything on the sites, however the meta tag errors persist. Is this the case that Moz is not recognizing the tags when it crawls because I used the Yoast Plugin? Or would you say that the plugin is the issue and I should find another way to add meta tags to the pages and posts on the site? My main concern is that if Moz is having issues crawling the sites, is Google also seeing the same thing? The URLS include:

How you can manipulate your MOZ DA
I have become frustrated at MOZ in the last few months, none of my backlinks have made it into the index. Old back links. Long story short, I figured out the issue and I figured out how anyone can manipulate their DA. I wrote a blog post about it here, http://blog.dh42.com/manipulate-moz/

Moz Pro vs. Moz Analytics
Beta version has been out for awhile. Curious to know what people think of Moz Analytics. Personally, I'm having a hard time making the switch from Pro to Moz Analytics because I'm so used to the navigation and layout of Pro. What does everyone else think of the new Moz Analytics? Advantages? Disadvantages?
