Big drop in Moz Domain Authority in the latest mozscape update
-
hi,
Before Moz were forced to roll back the moz scape I saw a drop in all 3 of my campaigns domain authority;
42 > 39
39 > 35
24 > 22I am employing differing tactics on these campaigns, one of which i would say leans towards the less white (the one in the middle of those stats). The other 2 however are all clean.
So, did anyone else see a drop in DA before moz retracted the figures? was there an issue with the latest moz update?
Thanks in advance.

Hi! There wasn't an issue with the latest moz update in terms of metrics, it was a different problem that caused us to roll back, and we hope to be back to the current dataset tonight. Here's a post with some more information: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/23586982-Mozscape-API-Temporarily-Rolled-Back-to-March-19-Index-

Overall I saw many of the sites that I monitor falling 1-3 points during the last update. It seems that the scale was raised a bit. However, one site where we are working very hard to earn quality links moved up 3 points against the trend. Maybe the data I'm seeing is flawed but it appears that the trend was that a lot sites saw a subtle drop.

How to check if a domain has been penalised before I buy?
I guess the question is in the subject. We have a client that wishes to buy a domain and use it to replace the primary URL on their website. Although the domain is currently not in use, it was back in 2002 until about 2010. We're concerned that this could cause issues if we change the name over and the domain itself has had penalties in the past

Amount of Pages Crawled Dropped Significantly
I am just wondering if something changed with the SEOMoz crawler. I was always getting 10,000 or near 10,000 pages crawled. After the last two crawls I am ending up around 2500 pages. Has anything changed that I would need to look at it see if I am blocking the crawler or something else?

Page and Domain Authority and other bits
Hi, I am in the process of finding blogs to have a few articles published with a couple of links in each. Articles will all be unique and relevant to the link I drop in and relevant in someway to the reader However I have a few questions. My site is a designer menswear site, so I have picked fashion and sports sites first and foremost to have the articles published. Now, I have a guy who owns about 30 different websites. 2 of them are sports based and about 10 are fashion based. Around $10-$15 an article. I have ran them all through the Open Site Explorer Tool and picked out the best ranked ones. Now my problem is, how do I know if its a good site to not only list an article on, but to pay for it as well. The sites page ranks are around the 30-45 range, the domains are around the 35-45 range. What is a good range to have? I know the higher the better but is 30-45 good enough to pay for? (I don't mind paying the $10 each (£7 my money) for each one) Also as he is quoted me in dollars, I assume there all USA based, so majority of users are USA based. Well I am UK based and only ship to the UK. Will this matter as much if I am trying to gain backlinks? Obviously a UK based site, would be ideal, but is it a case of getting more external links on the web for Google to find, as long as they are relevant to the user? Any help would be great. Thanks Will

How often is Open Site Explorer updated?
Or perhaps my question is actually how often does the seomoz bot crawl the web? I ran some benchmark link counts for a number of websites about this time last month and I noticed when I went to update them for this month the data is the same. Thanks.
