      Hey guys,

      I'm on the free trial for SEOmoz PRO and I'm in love. One question, though. I've been looking all over the internet for a way to check Page Authority in bulk. Is there a way to do this? Would I need the SEOmoz API? And what is the charge?

      All I really need is a way to check Page Authority in bulk--no extra bells and whistles.

      Thanks,

      Brandon

        OK, great, thank you.

        Is there a forum on SEOmoz where I can ask for professional help? Or do I just submit another question?

        Thanks.

          No worries, we're all noobs at some point.  I'm currently working on something similar as a side project (doesn't have the bulk aspect though, just setting up a personal system to keep tabs on certain link targets via url-metrics and recording/comparing aggregate results over time).  I'd say your best bet for finding someone would be here - whether that's allowed, I don't know either - or maybe even just source a hungry computer science undergrad at your local college?  For someone well-versed in PHP or similar, this probably wouldn't take more than a few hours of time spent coding.

          You'd need to provide them with the SEOMoz API documentation, and also follow the basic steps here to generate the credentials for your account:
          http://www.seomoz.org/api

          And also, I'd start by digging around in the API Wiki linked at the bottom of that page.  Lots of good writeups for making basic API calls and such, sample code, etc. You can even make a basic call with just a web browser if you'd like to see what kind of data you get from the API.

            Heh, I'm a total and utter PHP noob. I don't know if this is allowed to say here (apologies if it's not), but I'd be happy to pay someone to do it for me here. If I can't do that, can you recommend a good place for me to hire someone to write the code? And what do I need to provide them for them to be able to write it?

            Thank you so much!

              If you have some basic coding skills (or even just a decent grasp), I would definitely go with the free API.  You can pass the url-metrics API all your URLs in bulk via PHP and return page authority for each.  I'd go into more details, but SEOMoz has some pretty good documentation already:
              http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL-Metrics-API

              They have a cap at 1mil URLs per month, so hopefully your definition of "bulk" doesn't exceed that. 🙂

                Hi Daniel,

                I have a long list of different URLs (different domains), and I want to check the Page Authority for all of them.

                  You can do a linkscape backlink analysis on a site and get 10k backlinks and export to excel - can also use OSE(open site explorer).

                  I think you're going to need to be more clear as to what you want to check on mass - serp's for a specific keyword perhaps or do you mean backlinks for a specific site/domain?

                    Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?

                    From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

                    Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?

                    (Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm

                    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!

                    How long for authority to transfer form an old page to a new page via a 301 redirect? (& Moz PA score update?)

                    Hi How long aproximately does G take to pass authority via a 301 from an old page to its new replacement page ? Does Moz Page Authority reflect this in its score once G has passed it ? All Best

                    Besides the rankings in the campaigns i want to check 100+ keywords at once in rank tracking. Is this possible and if not why? It says i can check 400 keywords a day but manually entering them is time consuming and that's exactly why i use SEOMOZ, to save time.

                    Problem crawling a website with age verification page.

                    Hy every1, Need your help very urgent. I need to crawl a website that first has a page where you need to put your age for verification and after that you are redirected to the website. My problem is that SEOmoz, crawls only that first page, not the whole website. How can I crawl the whole website?, do you need me to upload a link to the website? Thank you very much Catalin

                    Is there a way to get the domain authority of a subdomain?

                    For example, www.storage-mart.com and us.storage-mart.com both show the same DA in OSE. I believe it's the DA of the root domain. How can I compare the DA of the 'www' and 'us' subdomains?
