How to Calculate % improvement in Mozrank and Domain Authority
-
I understand the concept that mozrank and Domain Authority are measured on a logarithmic scale . http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank
I'm trying to determine the percentage improvement in the Logrithmic value. For example
Original Domain Authority 60
Original Mozrank 5
End Domain Authority 63
End Mozrank 6.
So 5% change in DA and 20% change in MozRank. How do we convert these numbers to the real logrithmic change?

He's giving you a nonsense number, because SEOMoz won't reveal the true scale, so use whatever logarithmic scale you want.
ie. an indeterminate amount

Super interesting question!
First, let me put out a disclaimer that metrics like Domain Authority are comparative metrics that change from index to index. This means that it's best to use these numbers to compare yourself to the competition, but not to your own previous metrics as the base calculations can change. DA measures relative strength - so it's completely possible to improve 10% by raw numbers, but if your competition improved 10% as well, your relative DA really didn't change. For this reason we caution against folks measuring DA over time, and instead using it as indicator of ranking potential in real time against other competitors.
With that out of the way, last time I checked, MozRank was calculated on an algorithmic base scale of around 8.5. (Sorry, I can't be more specific - but that's part of the secret sauce. Heck, I don't even know the exact numbers.
With this knowledge, you can use a typical base calculator to figure relative strength. For example, a Mozrank of 5 on an 8.5 log scale calculates to 44370.531 um... raw MozRank points. Using the same calculations we find a MozRank 6 equals 377149.516 raw points, or 8.5x the original.
You can do similar calculations to determine the logarithmic change of DA, but keep in mind the disclaimer above and remember that since we can't reveal the exact scale, your calculations will be estimations, at best.
Hope this helps!

Sorry can you elaborate?

Multiply the original MozRank by a buck two eighty.

Domain Authority Droped 4 Points
Hi there, After the Last Mozscape index update: 08/27/2013Our DA along with all our competitors DA has dropped 4 points, Is there any reason for this ?Have others seen the same thing? Any suggestions of building DA again fast ? The owner of the company gets the reports from Moz and it really doesn't look good. Is it expected to bounce back ?

Question
I have set up my htaccess file to rewrite "Various URL Structure" to www.mydomain.co.uk. However when i view metrics in Majestic SEO, the url / Subdomain / Root Domain all differ. Why is this happening?
Is this harming my site?
What is common practice when defining URL Structure? Any other quality advise and implementation structure would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0 -

Domain Name Portfolio Management?
I am looking for some software, or an excel spreadsheet, or some way to manage 50-100 domain names. Maybe something a reseller of domain names would use? Something that keeps record of different whois information for different domain names, tracks IPs, nameservers, FTP logins, etc... I think excel would be best for this if there was a way to have the expiration date pulled so I dont forget to renew a domain name by mistake, and so I can easily keep track of them all in one place. I have seen a couple software programs out there for this, but none really meet all the needs I have. I also looked into some kinda database software with a nice GUI (MS Access, or FileMakerPro) but I dont know them software well. Any Ideas?

MozRank and mozTrust computations
Are there any details on the computations involved with mR and mT? I am specifically wondering about Google.com. The DA and PA is 100. If that page does not max out on the other factors it seems that no internet page or site would. The page has the following stats: mR 8.68 mT 7.95 DmR 9.29 DmT 9.36 Until now I have only focused on DA & PA. I would like to better understand the mechanics of these other measurements.

Incorrect domain authority result on SEO tool bar and OSE
The SEO tool bar is returning what I believe to be an incorrect domain authority of 71 and showing 24,356,141 lins from 153,051 domains. The OSE is also returning 71 as domain authority. Anyone know what could be doing this? Thanks. Jason
