Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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!

Hey there Charles,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

To be completely transparent, the Spam Scores you see in Open Site Explorer are from data collected last year. That means some of the issues listed there might no longer apply to you, or they might have been fixed as you've worked on your site. If you know you've taken care of the issues, then you shouldn't need to worry about the spam flags any longer. We actually don't include any 301s when we crawl a site to assign spam score.  The score you see now for the 301 would be from an old crawl that will eventually disappear from the index.

Additionally, just because our tool has assigned a site a specific spam score does not mean it is impacting the site in any way. These are merely suggestions of sites to check out. If you haven't determined yourself that they are spammy links, then there is no action or further concern required on your part.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news - I'm afraid that because Wix creates websites entirely with javascript this is an issue for our crawler and for SEO in general, so this is definitely the problem:(. This is a thread on our Q&A which talks about this issue: https://moz.com/community/q/negative-references-to-javascript-in-beginners-guide-to-seo-chapter-4#reply_330533

If your site is primarily Javascript, then the data you get back with regards to the crawl report won't be completely accurate because of this and we'll have a really hard time crawling in general, because our crawler functions by following html links. There's no real workaround that I can recommend for this one, since it is a technical limitation of our tools:(.

While the tools and data that rely on our crawl of your site may not return the best results because of that Javascript, your keyword rankings and link profile should work just fine.

You might also want to check out a few tools that are compatible with Javascript, like Botify or Screaming Frog.

I'm really sorry I can't be of more help here; I'll definitely be sure to pass this along to our Product team as feedback on your behalf. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, or if there are any follow-up questions you might have!

Hi there - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I'm sorry to hear you've had some difficulty adding photos to your listing. The photos the tool can accept have to be hosted somewhere other than Moz, and the URL has to be publicly accessible.

If you try to use a photo from a Facebook or Google Photo album, for example, you might encounter complications because those images are often protected behind your login. It's generally a good sign when a photo URL ends with a image file suffix, such as '.png' or '.jpg'.

For example, you can use a free photo-hosting site, such as this one. You can upload your image here and then get the full URL and then that's the URL you'd post into Moz Local. Here's a short video demonstrating uploading a photo on this site and getting the full URL.

Something else to note is that photo URLs cannot be too long because there is a character limit to each field. Try to make sure the photo URLs you use are publicly accessible and not too long, and you should be good to go!

If there's anything else you need, just let us know by reaching out to help@moz.com

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I've taken a look, and from what I can see, Open Site Explorer and the Mozbar are both presenting a DA of 12 for the site rayflexgroup.co.uk - http://www.screencast.com/t/pSP68TxN, http://www.screencast.com/t/XE5p1kh3C.

If you still aren't seeing these results, would you be able to try clearing your browser cache/cookies and refreshing the browser to see if this helps?

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Whenever your account is suspended or closed, your campaigns are archived - we do this instead of deleting data. The good news is that reactivating archived campaigns is really simple.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Go to your Campaigns section: http://analytics.moz.com/manage-campaigns

2. Look for drop down for "Active Campaigns"

3. Select "Archived Campaigns" from the dropdown

4. From here, you should easily be able to "Reactivate" your campaigns.

   We don't continue to gather new data while your campaigns are archived, but we keep all your historical data for around 12 update cycles. For weekly updates, that'd be 12 weeks and 12 months for monthly updates. A couple notable exceptions would be for rankings and link histories, which we'll keep forever!

   I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!

Hi  there, thanks for contacting us!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here

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!

Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score. You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site:
https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

I hope this helps - please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

So, two listings with very similar NAP information (Name, Address, Phone number) won't cause any problems with the distribution functions of Moz Local, but could pose difficulties for the reporting functions of the tool. Moz Local uses those three NAP elements to identify each individual location, so overlapping data can easily confuse its computer brain.

Listing irregularities will be ironed out over time, as the updated data is accepted and propagated across our partners' servers. Over time, the individual/separate listings will get up to speed like any other location.

In terms of Listing Score, Inconsistencies, and Duplicates, any overlapping NAP data can make for some funny results. You may see Moz Local confuse Location A's listings for Location B's - especially if Location A has been managed for a longer period of time and has updated data with our partners, but Location B is newer and not yet fully established. As the separate locations' listings are successfully created and updated with our partners, these reporting mistakes will diminish.

All of the above said, we always recommend that both listings within one address have their own unique, identifying phone numbers.

If you have any follow up questions, just let me know!

Hi there - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

So sorry to hear about the trouble - it sounds like it may be a cookies/cache related issue. Could you try clearing them and refreshing your browser to see if this solves the problem? If it doesn't, could you pop an email over to help@moz.com so we can assist you further?

Hi there Jake,

Thanks so much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Could you pop a message over to help@moz.com about this, along with an example (a screenshot would also be really helpful) so we can look into this further?

Thank you!

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Generally, pages with a PA of 1, or domains with a DA of 1 haven't been indexed by us for a variety of reasons (generally, the amount and/or quality of links pointing to them).

Unfortunately, in this case it's a different issue. We don't currently support custom Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .photography - this would explain why there's no data for this site in our Index.

Sadly I don't know of a good workaround for this - it's a technical limitation of the tool. I know we plan to expand the list of TLDs we support, but I'm not sure what kind of timeframe we can expect before new TLDs will be supported. You can find the current list of TLDs that we do support here: https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat

I'm sorry about that! 

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)

There's also a video! Here's a preview:

Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time. We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, MozRank, MozTrust, etc.—into a single score.

In terms of DA dropping, we do get a number of questions about this - overall, DA numbers dropping with an index update is a fairly common problem and can be attributed to a few things:

1.You've earned relatively more or less links over the course of the last 30-90 days.
2. You've earned more links, but the highest authority sites have grown their link profile even more.
3. The links you've earned are from places that we haven't seen correlate well with higher Google rankings.
4. We've done a better or worse job crawling sites/pages that have links to you (or don't).

It's a bit difficult to isolate the exact cause of what happened without your own SEO consultant or developer being able to take a dive into this, but you can definitely read more specific information here: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores if you'd like to understand more about the process:).

A great place to start with improving DA could be to focus on link building! You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource.

In general, I'd recommend keeping in mind that all of these metrics are relative with respect to the other sites included in our index. The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors.

Feel free to give those resources a once over to see if they help clarify some of your questions! I hope this helps!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Thanks for writing in — that's an excellent question! Our tool has a 90% tolerance for duplicate content, which means it will flag any content that has 90% of the same code between pages. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text, so often it's a matter of finding the best answer for the duplicate pages in question.

If you use a Similar Page Checker like this one: https://smallseotools.com/similar-sites/ you can see that https://freezerworks.com/index.php/html/slider-overlay and https://freezerworks.com/index.php/ufaqs/what-do-i-get-with-my-purchase-of-freezerworks actually have a similarity of 96%.

There are more in-depth explanations of common answers to duplicate content on this page, if you're curious!: https://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content

I hope this helps but definitely let me know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else I can help with!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I wish I had better news - I'm afraid we don't currently support custom Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .cc - this would explain why there's no data for this site in our Index (you can check over at Open Site Explorer), and why your DA remains at 1 - we're unable to assign Domain Authority to a site we are unable to index.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a good workaround for this - it's a technical limitation of the tool. I'll make a note to bring it up with our product team - I know we plan to expand the list of TLDs we support, but I'm not sure what kind of timeframe we can expect before new TLDs will be supported. You can find the current list of TLDs that we do support here: https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat

I'm sorry about that. If you have any other questions, please do let us know here or via help@moz.com:).

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here - thanks for reaching out!

I'm afraid that at the moment it isn't possible to add Insights or completed tasks to a custom report. Custom reports currently only permit you to add data from within the campaign itself - links data, rankings data, etc. I'm really sorry about that. I'll definitely pass your feedback on to the development team though - this may be something we can look at potentially implementing in the future:).

If there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know!

Hi there!

So, Internal Links will influence your Page Authority, but to increase your DA you will want to focus on  External  Links.

To understand how to improve DA (Domain Authority) it can help to get some insight into how we gather our data, which I'll include below. Sorry in advance for the long message!

To calculate DA, we index the web by following links using a crawler. Our crawler is built on a machine-learning based model that is optimized to select pages like those that appear in our collection of Google SERPs. We feed the machine learning model with features of the URL like the backlink counts for the URL and the PLD (pay-level domains), features about the URL like its length and how many subdirectories it has, and features on the quality of the domains linking to the URL and PLD. So, it's not based on any one particular metric, but we're training the crawler to start with high-value links.

In terms of improving your Domain Authority, with the information above in mind, it's best to look at both you on-page SEO to make sure you've covered the basics.
Then you also want to look at your off-site SEO and building more links more links to your site.
There are lots of different areas of Link Building to explore, from patching up broken links, improving your internal link profile, and good ol' fashioned content creation. 
Here is a great video by our founder Rand which goes over some easy link building tactics to get you started.
​
I hope that helps to start you off! Let me know if you have any other questions :]

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Sorry about the trouble! We were experiencing an issue with Link Explorer previously, but our engineering team have since implemented a fix and things should be running smoothly now!

In terms of the screenshot, sorry about that! I'll definitely pass on your feedback re. that as well as the 'Link Explorer' option so we can take a look at that.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team  here!

The discrepancies you're  seeing may be due to the  way you have the report set up, if it's a  custom report - could you please pop us an email at help@moz.com, along with screenshots of the sections of the report you're looking at?  Happy to take a look for you!

Thank  you!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

So the thing is, our volume service doesn't understand Austria as a location - it only understands it as a search engine. They are different in that a location can be tracked in any search engine, so for example someone in Austria can still use google.com. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey there Rebecca!

The drops and increases that you see in the ranking buckets, i.e. #21-50: 144^88, don't necessarily represent the number of keywords that increased in rankings. They just represent that there are more keywords in that bucket. If a keyword moved down from #19 to #21, that would move that keyword out of the #11-20 bucket, lowering that number, and into the #21-50 bucket, increasing that number, but it would still be a drop in ranking.

This number can increase by keywords dropping out of other buckets, which would be moving down in the rankings; by keywords being added to the campaign, which would be no change to the rankings since we weren't tracking them previously; or from keywords increasing in the rankings. The change value in this section does not represent the change value of the rankings themselves, just the change value of the number of keywords in each bucket.

Some keywords may also move within the bucket, so they wouldn't be reflected in the change value for the bucket, but they would still be counted in the moved up or moved down numbers. For example, if a keyword moves from #22 to #24, in the rankings it is still in the #21-#50 bucket, so no change would be reflected in the number of keywords in that bucket, but it will still show as a drop in the moved down metric.

I hope this helps to clarify - let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Are you by any chance using iOS10? If so, unfortunately this would be the root of the problem. Moz isn't yet compatible with iOS10 (although we are compatible with earlier versions).

I'll definitely bring this up with our product team but I don't believe it is something that we're able to fix as, whatever the issue is, it's in the OS.

I'm sorry about that! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

That are multiple things you can do in Moz in order to find the best keywords for implementation!

Here are some resources for you:

• The Keyword Research guide is a really good place to start!
• There's a great post in the Moz Blog about creative free keyword research
• If you're looking for insight into competitor keywords, try heading over to Open Site Explorer, pop in your competitor's URL, and take a look at the anchor text associated with their links. This can be a huge indicator of targeted keywords, which you might now decide to compete for!
• If you're curious how well you (or a competitor) is ranking for a certain keyword, or how well a certain page on your site ranks, hop on over to the Rank Tracker
• Use the Keyword Explorer tool to check how hard or easy it will be to rank for a certain keyword. Words with a higher difficulty score are harder to achieve rankings for, so some users will target lower difficulty words first and later tackle the hard ones. Something different works for everyone, though!
• When you've got your keywords and are ready to optimize your pages for them, check out the On-Page Grader. This will check a particular URL for optimization with a particular keyword or keyword phrase, and offer a grade based on how well it fares, as well as suggestions for improvement.

I'm afraid we aren't SEO consultants on the Help Team and are just here to support the Moz tools so I can't say exactly how long it might take for your changes to be reflected in the SERPS, but you might want to review this helpful article on that front: https://www.reliablesoft.net/how-long-does-it-take-to-rank-in-google/!

I hope this helps!

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here.

Sorry to hear about the problems you're running into with the MozBar:(. We have been experiencing some troubles with the tool, and have updated our Health Page to reflect this. Our engineers are working a complete overhaul on the back end to resolve the issues people have been seeing.

A few issues similar to the one you've mentioned have been resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the MozBar - could you give this a shot to see if it helps?

If not, we'd love to collect some information from you and some screenshots of exactly what you're seeing (every little piece of info helps), so could you send over a message to help@moz.com if the uninstall/reinstall isn't effective?

Hi there Jacob!

Sam from Moz's Help team here!

Could you pop an email over to help@moz.com along with the name of your campaign, so we can take a look into this for you properly? There are a few things that could be affecting your crawl, so we'd like to make sure we pinpont the exact cause:).

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks so much for writing in and for providing us with such great feedback! The crawler is very new, and we're definitely always seeking ways to improve it so suggestions like yours really help. I'll pass on this feedback to our development team so we can consider it as something we may want to implement in the future:).

Let us know if we can help with anything else!

NOTE: Things have changed since my last response - you can also now mark issues as 'Fixed' within the Site Crawl, so you can track your progress as you go along:). If you mark an issue as 'Fixed', on the next crawl it will still appear if we recognise that it hasn't actually been fixed. My colleague Jo left a helpful screencast in a comment below - https://screencast.com/t/sqyiphpjEcr

Hi there,

Thanks so much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I'm afraid this is a technical issue with the tool - I'm sorry about that!:(This is an issue that the engineering team are aware of, but I'm afraid I don't have a solid timeframe for the fix.

I'll pass your feedback along so my team as aware of the impact.

If I can help with anything else, just let me know!

Hey there!

Our engineers have worked their magic, and we have actually just rolled out a brand new version of the MozBar - you can download it here. It's also recommended to clear your cache & cookies upon reinstalling. So far, we've had reports of great success - if you're still running into trouble after downloading the new version, please pop a message over to help@moz.com so we can collect some details from you about exactly what you're seeing:)

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Sorry about the confusion there! The Spam Analysis tool was part of Open Site Explorer, and Open Site Explorer has been retired and replaced with Link Explorer and Link Explorer's Spam Score section. Instead of seeing the number of flags, you now see a percentage number - you can read more about this here: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

If you head to a given campaign, and then to "Rankings", you can filter for a certain time period using the date range dropdown to the top right (e.g. last week, last 6 months, etc). You'll notice just underneath the overview metrics that there are four tabs - Rankings, Engines, Competition, and Opportunities.

You'll want to select the 'Rankings' tab. Just beneath that there is another drop down that will initially say 'Search Visibility' - select that, and toggle to 'Rankings' instead. That will give you a nice graph of your historical keyword data, based on the date range you've selected:).

I hope this helps - let me know if I can assist with anything else!

Hi there!

Yes, this would be the same issue, definitely. I'm sorry about any confusion there!

Hey there - Sam from Moz's Help team here!

Sorry to hear you're running into trouble! Creating a list in Keyword Explorer with international search engine data involves just one extra step.

1. Go to Keyword Explorer, and enter one of your keywords. Choose your desired search engine, and click on the magnifying glass.
2. Now, you'll create a list with this keyword/search engine. On the right side of your screen, you'll see " + Create New List." Click on this button.
3. Name your list, and click Save.
4. You can now access this list by going back to the Keyword Explorer main page (https://moz.com/explorer/).
5. Click on this list, and add keywords by clicking on "Enter Keywords." Copy/paste your list of keywords, and click Save.

This will now gather metrics in the search engine you originally selected! If you wish to bulk upload a keyword list via CSV, you can find the formatting guidelines on this page: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer#frequently-asked-questions - you would want to adjust the 'locale' column to fit with your desired search engine, eg. en-CA, en-US, and so on prior to uploading.

When you upload a keyword list, we are actually running a full keyword report on that keyword - so this would have removed some of your available keyword queries. I'm really sorry about that.

I hope this helps - if you have any other questions, feel free to ask here or pop a message over to help@moz.com:).

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Sorry for the delay!

Keyword Explorer metrics can take up to 24 hours to build in a list, although usually it doesn't take nearly that long.

If those metrics are still not showing tomorrow, could you please pop an email over to help@moz.com - a screenshot of the list would be awesome, and we can dig into this further. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask away as well!

Hi there Donna,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

At the moment, we do not have a publicly accessible database of all the feature requests submitted by yourself or by other customers. That said, I can see why this would be helpful, and have just passed along this feedback to our development team for further review.

If there's anything else our team can help out with, definitely let us know.

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I've taken a look at that URL, and from what I can see it looks like we're running into a 403 error which means that ultimately, access to that URL is forbidden:

http://www.screencast.com/t/UbMwIrjuQFG

This 403 error is coming directly from your server, so at this point the best thing to do will be to send this information to your client/their web dev. They'll need to make sure our crawler (rogerbot) is whitelisted, so our tools can start working hard for you, and that you aren't blocking AWS (Amazon Web Services) on the server level.

I hope this helps - if you have any other questions, feel free to pop a message over to help@moz.com

Hi there - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Great question!

Domain Authority in Link Explorer and the Links section of your Moz Campaign correlates with Google rankings to give you an accurate representation of a sites's ranking power.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for reaching out! Sam from Moz's Help Team here - I'm afraid at the moment there is no option to filter by Difficulty within the Suggestions area. You could always add keywords from the Suggestions  area into a Keyword List to view their difficulty scores but this would use up some of your keyword queries unfortunately.

I'll definitely pass on this feedback to our dev team though, as it's a great idea and something that we may be able to work towards in the future.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

No, I'm afraid that this is not something that we offer - all of our tools are browser based and are not designed  to be embedded into other sites.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey there Madeline!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

The keywords you see under "Add & Manage Keywords" tallies the keywords across all of your campaigns. So if for example you see something like "453 of 750 keywords available", this means that out of 750 keywords available to you on your subscription level, you've used 297 of them in total across all of your campaigns, and still have 453 left for use - whereas the keyword total under "Tracked Keywords Overview" is isolated to the number of keywords being tracked in the specific campaign you're looking at.

I hope this helps to clarify! If you have any other questions, feel free to post them here or to pop an email over to help@moz.com

Hi there!

Thanks for writing in  - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Unfortunately not - I'm so sorry about that.  Any client side loaded content will not be rendered to our crawler as we are only seeing what is rendered by your server.

Our crawler works by parsing the source code of your site, looking at HTML elements.  If your site is primarily Javascript, then the data you get back with regards to the crawl report won't be completely accurate because of this. There's no real workaround that I can recommend for this one, since it is a technical limitation of our tools, but there are some good blog posts and discussions in the Q&A about this if you head over to our Help Hub.

While the tools and data that rely on our crawl of your site may not return the best results because of that Javascript, your keyword rankings and link profile should work just fine.

You might also want to check out a few tools that are compatible with Javascript, like Botify or Screaming Frog.

I'm really sorry I can't be of more help here; Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, or if there are any follow-up questions you might have!

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

Yes, you can indeed add Page Authority as a module - however, you will only be able to do this on a root domain level. When in the Custom Reports area > Add Modules, head to the Links module and then 'Inbound Links'. You can then add the first module that appears - for your own site, as well as your competitors.

If you're running into trouble finding this, just shoot us an email at help@moz.com and we'll be happy to assist!

As far as I'm aware, Google and other crawlers do crawl past the '?', unless certain parameters are disallowed within the robots.txt. If the URL is: https://test.com/exemple/?per_page=9, a search engine will see something like test com exemple 'search' etc. Google recommends blocking all Internal Search Results in the Robots.txt file - for Rogerbot, it would look something like this

User-agent: Rogerbot
Disallow: ?utm

Here is a great resource about the robots.txt file that might be helpful: https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

I'd recommend checking your robots.txt file in this handy Robots Checker Tool once you make changes to avoid any nasty surprises

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)

There's also a video!

Here's a preview: Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines.

Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time.

We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, etc.—into a single score.

I hope this helps - just let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey there!

You can actually do this from your primary Rankings area - just select the 'Competition' tab, and then the 'Export CSV' option. You can select a date range using the date range selector to the top right, like so:

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in and sorry about any confusion!

So overall, seeing your DA drop is a fairly common problem and can be attributed to a few things:

1.Links we previously discovered are now marked as lost.
2. You've earned more links, but the highest authority sites have grown their link profile even more.
3. The links you've earned are from sites that we haven't seen correlate well with higher Google rankings.
4. We've done a better or worse job crawling sites/pages that have links to you (or don't). You can help us to find those links using link tracking lists,

It's a bit difficult to isolate the exact cause of what happened without your own SEO consultant or developer being able to take a dive into this, but you can definitely read more specific information here if you'd like to understand more about the process:).

Do let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Hi there,

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

I can see how this might be a tricky situation. The best advice I could offer would be to somehow make your search a little more specific - for instance you might run a query like "brand name+region" or "brand name+director" - you'll want to narrow down the search as much as you can in order to get the best and most relevant results.

The results you see in FWE won't be having a negative impact on your SEO efforts unless of course a search for your brand leads people to completely different SERP results than hoped for - though this would be something that would be best investigated by an SEO expert (I'm really here to support the tools specifically).

Please let us know if we can help with anything else and as always, feel free to pop a message over to help@moz.com if you're running into any trouble:).

Hi there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

If you have fixed the issues and then recrawl, they will not appear as issues again:). The manual option to mark as fixed is really for your own benefit/tracking purposes in between crawls.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hi there!

I'm afraid not, I'm so sorry about that.

If  there's anything else I can help with, please do let me  know.
