Trailing forward dash question
-
This might be a very newbie technical SEO question, but here goes.This page, with no trailing forward slash:idearocketanimation.com/whiteboard-animation-oHas a Moz page authority of 45 while this page:
idearocketanimation.com/whiteboard-animation-o/Has a Moz page authority of 1. Right now, the former is forwarding to the latter. Might Google not see the links I've built up to it, like Moz isn't? Can this be fixed in WordPress?I appreciate your responses. -
Looks like you did a 301 redirect to /
Status Code URL IP Page Type Redirect Type Redirect URL
301 http://idearocketanimation.com/whiteboard-animation-o 162.144.136.148 server_redirect permanent https://idearocketanimation.com/whiteboard-animation-o

200 https://idearocketanimation.com/whiteboard-animation-o/ 162.144.136.148 normal none noneGoogle should recognize this and you will be fine.

Hey William!
What kind of redirect was set up for the first URL to point to the second?

Question about inbound links
Hi, When i run a scan for inbound links for the domain denverhongkongcafe.com/. One of the inbound links does not have the website denverhongkongcafe.com on its page. I viewed the source code and couldnt't find anything. But denverhongkongcafe.com links to that "inbound" link. Just to summarize everything. This link https://www.beyondmenu.com/40371/denver/hong-kong-cafe-denver-80014.aspx?r=40371 is an inbound link but does not have denverhongkongcafe.com anywhere in the site. But when i go to denverhongkongcafe.com it goes to https://www.beyondmenu.com/40371/denver/hong-kong-cafe-denver-80014.aspx?r=40371 . I am not sure how https://www.beyondmenu.com/40371/denver/hong-kong-cafe-denver-80014.aspx?r=40371 is an inbound link?

My Question How to check why our DA is gradually dropping
Hi everyone, Moz Community, I asking a question here so kind of excited to be part of the community. I hired an SEO firm about three months ago. They have arranged high ranking DA guest posts for my website Bagcottage as well as many other small low DA links. None of these links have any kind of a spam score. However, for the past two months, they have been helping, our website's DA has actually dropped by one point each month. Is this cause for concern? Any thoughts on how I can trace the drop? On a side-note, out of the 700+ keywords that didn't were ranking in the top 50, about 200 of them now are gone compared to last month. I don't know if this is related or not, but something looks awry. By Fazle Wadood Safi fazlewadood1987@gmail.com https://bagcottage.com

Question About creating seperate websites or using a subdomain or just subfolders...Thanks!
I am working with a company who has created a reservation software...We have been advertising this software aggressively and have been doing well with companies coming on board...Let's call the company ABC and the url was ABC.com...Now they are launching a customer facing side of things that will have all the clients listed for consumers to book at their location...So an online marketplace...Like VRBO or AirBnB...They are taking the name of the software company and making it the url for the marketplace site...So now the marketplace is ABC.com and we need to figure out if we go with a new site for the software side or if we use subdomains or a subfolder.... Do we go with ABCSoftware.com - New root domain ABC.software.com - Subdomain ABC.com/software - Subfolder There are a few other intricacies with this...Not all the companies that use the software will be on the marketplace side...And people who book through the company but using the software have a url embedded on their site that books there directly...This booking costs the company less than a booking that comes through the marketplace so this needs to be kept separate... Thanks for the help everyone!

Page authority questions?
I've been analyzing some IT communities ...in order to check how relevant is the page authority vs PageRank. I found one main site which is organized by "communities'..and every community is a sub-domain. The root domain has an authority of 90/100 which it should be great......so the sub-domains "inherit" part of this authority.... Until here everything seems to be perfect. However, I went deeper and I picked one of these communities. Analyzing the "Linking Root Domain" I discovered it only has only 5 root domains pointing to its home page. Those 5 Root Domains have generated more than 134k links. That doesn't seem to be "natural". Checking those 5 Root Domains I discovered that they have been registered by the same Root Domain site. Ex: Main domain: Domain.com Community1.domain.com Community2.domain.com.... Linking Root Domains: DomainXY.com DomainABC.com DomainRST.com DomainFGH.com DomainOPQ.com It seems to me that it is easy to cheat the authority domain score. Just creating others sites developing the same topic and generating back links to your main domain

Another guest blogging question (sorry)
Hi, I have been kind of stuck with guest blogging lately. The amount of times I have seen PR1/2 root domains but SEOMOZ tool bar says DA:35/40 mR:4+ mT:4+ I know you are supposed to look at the content itself and other aspects but what do you trust more SEOMOZ tool bar or Googles PR? Cheers

How come I cannot ask one question a month to the pro's ?
I just got a major increase of errors on my website on the last crawl. I haven't touched my web site ( other than adding content ) for the past 3 months. It's like more than 500 errors I got on the last crawl, How can I call SeoMoz tech support ? I cannot use my 'One question a month to the pro's a option', cannot select the option pretending I have used my question this month where it is not true. Need help. Thanks

Question about a dramatic decrease in domain authority.
My personal website http://Bsalva.com has started to drop in both page authority and domain authority. This seems to be largely due to open site explorer not picking up all of my inbound links. Right now it says I only have one linking root domain, but I know this to be crap. I have quite a few followed links from well trusted and reputable sites. My page rank typically bounces between a 5 and 6. I should also have hundreds of inbound links. The other sites In my campaign monitor haven't taken such a hit so I'm starting to get a little worried. Does anyone know what might cause incoming links to not me recognized? they were just fine last month, and I can go find them on the web as we speak.
