Merging two Sites into One - how is Final Domain Authority Calculated?
-
Hi,
If we merge two sites say, one with DA 35 and another 20 what will be resulting DA of the merged site?
Secondly, will the result vary based on which Domain is kept and which one is 301ed?
ps :- all content is transferred from one to another using 301.
Regards,

Thanks Vijay!
Also something to note though is that for us to update any 301 link, we would need to re-discover the old pages to be able to follow and update the metrics. This is not likely common for sites with lower authority since old links are not continuously shared on new pages/articles/blogs.
Link Explorer works solely through link discovery and crawling. For every link we index/crawl, these links are not guaranteed to be re-crawled.

Hi There,
It is a tricky situation, in this case using 301 would not directly transfer the domain authority but since the traffic might get transferred and eventually the site would trust and get some increase in domain authority. Given the above situation, it would be advisable to keep the higher authority domain and work on it, let the lower authority domain be 301ed to higher DA.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
VIjay

Why are only two pages of my site being crawled by MOZ?
MOZ is only crawling two pages of my site even though there are links on the homepage, and the robot.txt file allows for crawling. Our site address is www.hrparts.com.

My site crawl has been in progress since last week
Hi there, I've been waiting on my site crawl to complete since Friday (it's Tuesday now), but it still has the 'in progress' notification at the top. Is it normal for it to take over 3 days? Or is there something holding it up?

Moz has stopped crawling my site
Hello, We have been using Moz Pro for over a year on our site and in the last month noticed that our site is not being crawled anymore. I took a look in Google Search Console, and everything seems to be fine there, so I think it is just the Moz tool that is not working. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any tips for troubleshooting it? Thank you, Adam

Can I move analytics campaigns from one Moz Pro account to another?
Hello all, hoping someone can help - couldn't find anything on this subject in the Q&A already... I'd like to associate some existing Moz analytics campaigns with a different Moz Pro account, is this possible? I know I could just start a new analytics campaign in the different pro account, but I don't want to lose all of the data Roger has already collected on the site; I feel it would be a tragedy after all his hard work, and it wouldn't be convenient for me. Hoping someone can help!

I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.

I plan to have multiple sites/compaigns. My Question: Is there a way to set up a limited account that one client would be able to view just their campaign?
I don't want a client to be able to see all of our other campaigns, just theirs. Is there a way to set this up?

Why hasn't my site info shown up yet?
I set up a campaign a few days ago (middle of last week) and the information still hasn't shown up. I figured that analytics were gathered weekly so I let it sit until Monday, but it still tells me to check back in 24 hours. Thanks for your help! Love the suite, by the way - lots and lots of great tools and easy enough to let my client see what's going on!

Anybody know how to merge an old inactive Moz account with a current live Moz account?
I had an old Moz account with my name, profile, etc. that I don't want to lose. By accident, when I created my current subscription, I ended up creating a brand new account. The old account has my bio, Moz points, etc. that I don't want to lose, but the new account has my campaigns. Any way to bring the two accounts together?
