This makes no sense to me!

Can anyone please explain why this list might be ordered in this way? It seems so counter-intuitive!

Wow EGOL - Thanks for that insight - You successfully read the title of the page!
Yes, see how easy your question was?
I have a homepage with a PA of 52 that is outranked by an ebay page with a PA of 1 and an amazon.com page with a PA of 1. These ebay and amazon pages have zero links from other domains. My page has 45 linking root domains.
Amazon and Ebay win because GOOGLE awards high rankings to pages on authoritative domains. SEOmoz PA is irrelevant because Google determines the rankings using a different set of factors - especially "onpage" factors.
SEOmoz PA and DA are great for tracking your progress over time but they are very imperfect for predicting google rankings. If you don't believe that just watch Q&A and see how many people make a post like yours.... "WTF, my PA is higher and they are beating me"
These folks think one of these things:
-
Google is screwing them
-
SEOmoz metrics are bogus
The real answer is: 3) These folks don't understand PA and DA or they have a site with some penalty or throttle.
I would like to see SEOmoz explain these numbers and how they should be used with greater clarity and post obvious links to that content where the results of the tool is displayed.

I was actually hoping someone could explain how a page with just one linking domain and page authority of 35 can rank higher than one with 123 linking root domains and page authority of 50?
i.e. Does this suggest the number of linking root domains and page authority is irrelevant in this market?

They are listed in the order of their google ranking.

Performance Metrics making no sense
Hoping someone can help us with Moz Pro reporting issues that we can't see on a client page. Screenshot 2021-06-07 at 11.36.58.png Screenshot 2021-06-07 at 12.54.48.png The mobile performance metrics are awful (apparently) but we aren't seeing this at all. Both mobile and desktop sites are very fast and pages are loading in under 1s. I have attached the Moz Pro report and a google page speed screenshot to see if any can shine any light on this issue. Thanks,

No english Url = No sense symbols?
Hey there, i have a greek content website and some of the urls are greek (I did this for better SEO score).
Moz Pro | | tsalatzi
When i am using the analyze page issues and write down the greek url it doesnt find it (for example if i wrote down "www.euroulakia.com/πως-να-βγαλω-λεφτα" it displays me back "Sorry! We weren't able to find that page when we crawled your site") BUT when i just copy paste it from the url the moz finds it. However when i copy-paste the url changes the greek characters to no-sense symbols (for example the same above url becomes : http://www.euroulakia.com/πως-να-βγαλω-λεφτα) As you can see the url is written with non-sense symbols.. My question is if google see this no-sense symbol as well instead of the greek characters? I am using Joomla and i have: Search Engine Friendly URLs and Unicode Aliases setting to yes. Can anyone please help me with this because i have a feeling that something is wrong here. Thanks in advance0 -

Does it make sense to have multiple campaigns for one website?
I'm new to SEO and SEOMoz. While setting up my campaigns, I was a bit confused. Do I need to setup separate campaigns for different pages of my site? For example, I run a proofreading service: www.kibin.com I obviously want to track keyword on the main page (like proofreading service), however, I also want to track keywords (like 'essay editing') on www.kibin.com/essay-editing Should these be two separate campaigns or do I just put all the keywords into one campaign for kibin.com? Thanks!

Has SEOMoz considered making it possible to follow a specific Q & A thread via Twitter and/or Email?
I think it would be great if there was a way to follow a particular Q & A thread without having to post a comment. There are so many great topics and discussions in here and sometimes I lose track of some that I'd like to continue following as people post, without having to post in the thread myself. Have you guys (Mozzers) ever considered adding a "Follow this thread on Twitter" or "Follow this thread by email" function? Or is there already a way to do this (without posting), that I just haven't found?

Could SEOMOZ make a tool thats connected directly to Webmaster Tools?
Could SEOMOZ make a tool that Crawls Internal Links that's connected (or crawls) directly from Webmaster Tools? (So link metrics on our domains would get updates more often) This would eliminate the cost of crawling the entire internet. I hate having to wait a month to see updates on my domain metrics and links. I would like to see updates regularly on my own domain. I understand you can just look at Webmaster tools to see your latest links but they don't have any link metrics. So it’s difficult to see your best links. If this already exists please refer me? Otherwise please show your support for this being developed?
