My domain authority is 1, and I am not seeing any links to my site.
-
I know that there are links to my site, but nothing shows up.
My website is www.mullinsgeoffrey.com. I have tried with and without the www.
I am using wordpress for this site, but competitors are as well, and there authority seems fine.
is there a hidden setting somewhere that is screwing things up?

Hi Geoff,
It looks like in the time since you posted this question and today, your site authority has grown.
As the previous two respondents noted, what you were seeing was the effects of your domain being so new. Not only does it take Google some time to pick up on things, but most tools/data providers that show us metrics around inbound links and authority update their indexes/data sets every month or so (perhaps quicker, but not by much since it's so expensive to crawl the web). Important to keep that in mind when you're looking at your own site(s) or those of competitors.
I don't see any links pointing to your site in Open Site Explorer or ahrefs - it's unlikely both tools are "wrong" here. If you know of specific pages/sites that are linking to you, I'd recommend double checking that those pages/sites are actually being indexed by search engines. You can be seeing a link behind a login wall or similar barrier to search crawlers that, for all appearances, is SEO friendly, but because the page isn't being indexed it never counts towards your authority.
I'm marking this question as answered since it seems that the issue you were concerned with has been corrected.
Best,
Mike -
Geoff, you probably need to be a little more patient. You only registered your domain on 20 June this year and there's nothing yet on the Wayback Machine. I would focus your energies more on creating great content on your site, social media outreach, etc, rather than worrying about your domain authority just yet.

Geoff - have you tried another tool which uses a different index. It could be that OSE does not have your links indexed. Try Google webmaster tools, Bing webmaster tools, or another tool which tracks inbound lnks.

Major site overhaul
Hi guys and girls After reading all the content It became apparent that our website is a bit of a dog. I'm about to update our site with a new theme and content on moz.com I've found myself becoming so much more confident at all this. I've read all the material I can on Moz re: Site migration but still have one question. How do I find out all the links that I need to 301 before I make the new site live? Please don't worry about patronizing me! I'm really new at this! Ben

Pages Crawled: 1 Why?
I have some campaigns which have only 1 page crawled, while some other campaigns, having completely similar URL (subdomain) and number of keywords and pages, have all pages crawled... Why is that so? It has been also a while I waited and so far no change...

How can I download all the inbound links to my Site?
Hi, From Site Explorer, I want to download all the inbound links linking to my site: www.comm100.com/livechat/. But it seems that there is a limitation. I can only download a part of the inbound links? What should I do? Or is it because my account is free trial? Do I have to pay for it? Please help. Thanks,

Finding page authority for a list of sites
I went to Distilled's linklove conference earlier this week. Many of the presenters showed spreadsheets where they had pulled in Page Authority for a long list of sites. What tool can you use to quickly do this? For instance, I want to be able to copy a list of 100 sites into a tool and have it spit out the PA for every site...anybody know how to do this?

Internal Links
Hi Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the internal links metric in the Linkscape report. I have run the report for a number of sites that I know have internal links in them but often get the result of just 1 internal link when I run the Linkscape report and I am not sure why Thanks
