When will Dotbot see changes to my robots.txt file?
-
Dotbot doesn't want to know anything about my site, my Page Authotize is still 1 and my DA is the same. How long does it take to start getting results? In all the websites we have been working on, we have no problems, but in ours it has come up.

Thank you very much for your response, the truth is that we are appearing in different advertising media, and google has the links indexed. In fact we have now added the url to our moz profile and added it to the Link Tracking Lists tool.
It will be a matter of time

Hi - thanks for contacting us,
When you see a DA of 1, this will usually mean that we haven't indexed that site yet or we haven't found any inbound links for that particular site. That can happen for a number of reasons, such as we haven't found any external links to the site or the site is blocking our crawler or the site is fairly new.
When we compile our index by first crawling the more valuable pages we find and moving on from there. Specific pages may not be crawled if they have lower quality links on them or appear to be part of an unintentional link farm (for example, things like programmed calendars). If you’re wondering why we’re not identifying links to your site, I would suggest checking to make sure we’ve indexed the sites and pages you know are linking to your site.
Also, it’s important to keep in mind that with Link Explorer, new data is added all the time, so please keep an eye out for new data to be available for your site!
I hope this helps - please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi there,
You just need to wait for a little bit longer, so Moz can crawl your site. Meanwhile, you check all your links in Google Search Console.

Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jun 22, 2020\. We were unable to access your site due to a page timeout on your robots.txt, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site.
Site: www.kpmg.us Getting robots.txt timeout fail since 02/29/20. We've checked our server logs and see no errors. Went through all the steps of the "Troubleshooter". Updated robots.txt to allow rogerbot full access: User-agent: rogerbot

Domain Authority (DA) in Moz Pro changed only within the last 1-2 months?
Has anyone noticed that the Domain Authority (DA) as reported in Moz Pro has changed only within the last 1-2 months? We have screen shots showing plots of DA vs competitors w/ line graph 2 months ago starting in NOV 2017 which today starting JAN 2018 and comparing shows DA up to 50% different!

The change is seen both in the Links Overview and under the Spam Score sections still marked "NEW". Can Moz confirm that it's only recently within the last 2 months that in Moz Pro the NEW DA numbers have retroactively been updated even though the new Link Explorer has been publicly out since APR 30 from https://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-new-link-explorer-including-our-revamped-index-and-da-pa-scores-is-now-open-to-everyone? Look at the top green line starting ~12 months ago on both graphs, w/ old below 40 and new above 50. We've seen even greater differences for other tracked domains. Thanks! view0 -

Change in OSE?
Hi My site http://sassandgrace.co.uk has a 301 direct from the www. version as recommended and, up until last week, OSE showed no results for the www version with a message of some kind saying about the re-direct. This week the message has disappeared and I have half my links (still v small) on www version and half on the non version. Has something changed? Should I be worried? And what, if anything, should I do? Thanks

It's an amazing tool and the rest of Moz Pro is excellent, but the index is just so small. Does anybody know when we can expect it to increase?

Why Moz Doesn't See or Count Our Backlinks?
Hi Moz Community! We have been working hard to improve our Moz metrics, measuring against a high ranking competitor to help us set our goals. Our Majestic and Webmaster Tools find tens of thousands of external backlinks pointing to our domain. That's all well and good. Moz's Open Site Explorer, however, only finds 900 total links - including internal links! This being the case, we have worked diligently to build a variety of great external backlinks, creating Bitly links and encouraging clicks on those through social promotion. Yet, our competitor has over 7,000 external backlinks in Moz's index, while ours is not growing relative to their number of backlinks. Can anyone share with us what they do to tell Moz about their backlinks? We already know we have many more backlinks than our competitor, from trusted domains with good authority, yet it seems Moz is not discovering them. We just want to understand how to use these Moz metrics to create meaningful calls-to-action. Otherwise, it seems like a gargantuan waste of time, and our team has difficulty getting buy-in from our company to put time and assets toward tasks based on our Moz numbers!
