Does the page authority data also considers the on page factors like the presence of keyword in the title,meta text, and keyword frequency ??
-
The moz difficulty score considers four factors for the top websites. are the on page factors included in the page authority data ?

Hi Viswanatha,
Short answer, no. Page Authority is based mostly on link metrics. That said, it takes many factors into consideration, including Domain Authority and trust metrics.
Page Authority is a comparative metric, meaning that all other factors being equal, the page with the higher PA would have a better chance of ranking for it's particular keyword.
So 2 pages, each optimized equally for the same keyword, with exactly the same title tag, etc (forget for a moment that this is duplicate content) the page with the higher PA would likely rank higher than the lower one.
You can read more about PA here.

I don't see how it possibly could, it is just a number. If it was taking into account a given keyword then it would an array of values for a given keyword - but it ain't!

I do not think it includes onpage optimization at least from what i have seen

Pages with Temporary Redirects on pages that don't exist!
Hi There Another obvious question to some I hope. I ran my first report using the Moz crawler and I have a bunch of pages with temporary redirects as a medium level issue showing up. Trouble is the pages don't exist so they are being redirected to my custom 404 page. So for example I have a URL in the report being called up from lord only knows where!: www.domain.com/pdf/home.aspx This doesn't exist, I have only 1 home.aspx page and it's in the root directory! but it is giving a temp redirect to my 404 page as I would expect but that then leads to a MOZ error as outlined. So basically you could randomize any url up and it would give this error so I am trying to work out how I deal with it before Google starts to notice or before a competitor starts to throw all kinds at my site generating these errors. Any steering on this would be much appreciated!

What search engines does SEOMoz pull the SERP data from on the keyword analysis report?
I did a Google search and I noticed that some of the rankings that pulled up did not match the SEOmoz top 1-10 competitors. I was sure not to include personal results. I was completely signed out of my Google account. Another one of the SEO tools showed the same result as when I did the Google search, completely different from SEOmoz's report. I am curious to know where the data comes from, so I can accurately compare/ contrast the varying results.

Keyword Difficulty Tool Problems?
I was just using the keyword difficulty tool and for some reason, some of the keywords show "not enough data"...I'm not sure why this is the case because a few days ago, there was data... Anyway, is this because it take time for the tool to gather data each month, or is it because there's an issue with the GoogleAPI? Thanks a lot for your help!
