Moz Trust
-
I saw a severe drop in MozTrust for multiple sites I am working on. We have added some links this month, but would be considered 'spammy' or to be low quality. No other links appear to have been lost / removed.
If we had some very high quality links before and have added some mid-level links can this be what is causing the drop? From the description on SEOmoz, it seemed to me that trust could only go up as links were added. It appears that I am missing something.

Kenny,
Thank you for the information! Your answer completely cleared up my confusion.

Hey,
You can learn more about MozTrust here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust
One thing to keep in mind is that you might not necessarily have lost one of those links but it might not have been picked up in this particular index. I had a look at your campaigns and really only 2 sites have lower Moztrust scores. These sites are also already on the lower side of the scale and it is easier to gain or lose trust on the low end of the spectrum. For example, it is far easier to go from a MozTrust of 3 to 4 than it is to go from a 8 to a 9. You could very well lose some trust if you are only building lower quality links as your averages would decline. This will also have more of an impact for your site when it has a lower MozTrust than when it has a much higher trust.
Hope that helps!
Kenny

I am very sure. This is for multiple sites with similar link profiles. Does anyone know how MozTrust could be lost without losing links? Can an IP change cause this? Are there other ways to loose trust such as having more mid-quality links added?

" No other links appear to have been lost / removed. " you sure?

How to utilize Moz during website relaunch?
Hi folks - we're relaunching our website and have been sure to make it SEO optimized -- descriptive copy, new readable URLs, keyword-laden page metadata, and the like. However, I'm new to Moz Pro and unsure how to utilize it during this transition. My questions for those of you -- assuming many -- who have gone through a redesign: **How did you use Moz to track the success of your redesigned website? What do you wish you'd done? ** Any campaigns or resources you can suggest will be helpful, as I am new to the functionality!

Why Are Moz Pro Ranking SOOOO Inaccurate?
I have a set of keywords for which I have been consistently ranking in the top 10 for months. Moz Pro, a service that I pay for, has shown for the past couple of months that I don't even rank in the top 50. Google Webmaster Tools confirms that I have been ranking in the top 10 for these keywords. Am I doing something wrong or is Moz Pro more of an estimation tool? Thanks 😉

Will moz crawl pages blocked by robots.txt and nofollow links?

Perplexed - Errors increasing, moz rank dropping, conflicting data from other sources. Please Help.
Hi there, I'm in a bit of a bind and could seriously do with some help. For the past month I've been working with a client to resolve errors onsite. In that period my moz rank has plummeted and my errors (dupe title & content) have increased dramatically. The correlation makes sense, the increase - not so much. Here's why, screaming frog is reporting that the majority of duplicate titles have been removed or dealt with. I've also got the assurance of the developer that the suggested changes are being implemented. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the CMS - umbraco - and this is the first time I'm working with this particular developer, so I'm not sure how to gauge progress without using moz tools. So, here are my immediate questions: 1. Why would I get different results from Screaming Frog and Rogerbot? 2. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and could they recommend areas to watch for errors creeping in? 3. Is there a way of identifying which errors have occurred when? Narrowing it down to the week each error occurred would be good enough. 4. Is anybody aware of any inherent SEO flaws in umbraco or common SEO mistakes made using the CMS? 5. is there anything I could provide you with to help you help me? 6. Do you have a suggestion? I'm pretty stuck. Thanks in advance.
