          Hi there,

          You can check the Domain Authority and Page Authority if any domain by using the Moz Link Explorer or the MozBar.

          You can read more about how Domain Authority works here.

          Hope that helps!

              If I migrate to a new domain, does my Domain Authority score get migrated also?

              For business reasons, I migrated my domain with a DA score of 85 to a new domain.  After some time, the DA score on the new domain is only 45.  My migration plan and redirects went smooth and all redirected with best practices in mind.  I am still ranking well for almost all of the keywords where I've 301 redirected old URL to new. Any feedback welcome!

              Issues Checking Backlinks To YouTube Videos

              Hi, Hope someone might be able to help here. I have been using OSE to check backlinks to sites without an issue. However, I do seem to have problems checking links to videos. For examplpe, I took a video url and checked backlinks and OSE reports 33 million just discovered, majestic SEO reports none and Ahrefs seems about right with 17. I was wondering if there is something I need to do to ensure OSE returns correct results for individual youtube videos. FYI, I am using the url that appears in the Google search. Thanks Mark
