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.

Unsolved Make Moz reindex the pages for keywords
Hi Moz says we're 18th for a phrase but that's for the page /himonsia-generators because that was the highest ranking page. If you search now for "heavy range generators" we're jumping between 10-12th position but it's for the page /products/generators - which is correct. How can I make Moz "Reindex" the pages?

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,

Size of a term to make money off of ad based informational site
Hello, I am used to estimating how much money is possible to make out of ranking for Ecommerce terms. Higher price products have a lower conversion rate (cheap items are opposite) so you can look at the keyword size in keyword explorer and estimate pretty well (roughly). My question is, how many times bigger does an ad based (informational) keyword need to be to get similar profit? This is just an estimate. For example, does a term need to be 5? 10? times bigger on average (volume) as an informational keyword to make the same amount of profit (roughly of course)? I realize there are many factors here but you must have some way you think of it? Can you give me some general guidelines?

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 -
Crawl findings 301 redirects I didn't make?
Hi, I'm new to SEOMOZ Pro and loving it so far, but was confused as to how the 51 page Crawl of my site (http://cryptophoneaustralia.com) found so many 301 redirects. 18 to be exact. It's a Wordpress site, and my htaccess file has no 301's in it, so I'm kind of confused as to where to start looking as to why they've shown up in the crawl. I've been building sites for years, and use 301's quite regularly, but this site should have none. The site was originally on a subdomain until it was ready to go live, then I moved the site to it's current domain and ran the Velvet Blues plugin to update all the URLs. I then went through and manually changed the ones in areas where this plugin tends to miss. The site still functions fine, it just bothers me why the 301's are being found in the crawl. Thank you.
