      Hello,

      I have a local website (https://iescobill.pk) where I am getting good organic traffic, and also social traffic, and so far my page authority (PA) has reached #13, but DA still 1? Is it normal?

        Hello,

        It's not unusual for Page Authority (PA) to increase faster than Domain Authority (DA) on a specific page. PA is page-specific, reflecting the strength of individual pages, while DA encompasses the overall strength of the entire domain. It's common for PA to show quicker improvements, especially on pages with good content and SEO practices. Over time, as more pages gain authority, you can expect to see a positive impact on your Domain Authority. Keep focusing on high-quality content and SEO strategies to further enhance both metrics.

          DA is a score is accumulated over a long period of time. I would say the domain age plays a critical role in improving the DA score. This site DA is less but increase gradually ( https://iescoonlinebill.com/ )This means it's impossible to increase the DA of your website from 1-50 in a week's time. The result of all your effort may reflect only after a few months.

            I'm not sure why you would to stare blind at PA or DA in general. It's just a calculation from some link value pointed to your domain, with no indication or link with google. You can have a PA or DA of 80 and still perform worse in Google or in Bing for that matter. The more incoming (follow) links the better your DA will grow (over time).

            My DA is stuck at 76, but i know it takes far more links from this point on to grow even further then when going from DA 10 to 20 or so. It's normal. And i dont really look at it anymore. What matters is organic traffic, good content and having everything as healthy as possible.

              Hi Sam,

              Thanks for the detailed and quick answer. So, probably Moz didn't crawl my external links yet, but I'll do check in Link Explorer and also review the links quality.

                Hi there,

                Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

                So when you see a DA of 1 or 2,, 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!

                    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! view

                    Drop in DA across multiple sites

                    Hi I monitor and track few Top sites that are Industry leaders. I got -1 to -3 in DA across this month. Has anyone else experienced this and the matter of fact is there has been rare or no change in the sites but the moz backlink data experienced a major drop "more then 100K backlinks were dropped for them in yesterday's report as compared to a 20 day old report". Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced the same

                    How much time does it take for OSE to recognize backlinks?

                    Hi, We've ramped up our PR since 2-3 weeks and have been mentioned in a lot of publications including a big name like Forbes. But the OSE moz tool still shows zero backlinks to our domain. 
                    How much time does it take for it to get updated? Do I have to do something manually to make it happen? 
                    Please let me know

                    Flauctuating number of Internal Equity-Passing Links affecting DA

                    My site has a high number of  fluctuating internal equity passing links in open site explorer from month to month, theses range from 30 000 and sometimes as high as 1,million. The fluctuations occur even when I have made no changes onsite. I have noticed that when the internal equity passing links are very high the DA drops and when they are low the DA is high, has anyone ever experienced this with open site explorer ?

                    Mozbar have no PA and DA within the bar for the last week.

                    I don't know how technical I need to get here, but the mozbar has shown no data for PA and DA for over a week now. Also, the bar tells me to login within the search query version of the mozbar...  Even after I have logged in many times and the cach remembers me on the login page. I would love some assistance here from Moz directly.
