Have any insight into why our Moz Rank dropped?
-
I'm working on a site with a very low domain authority to start and in viewing our historical MozRank comparison to competitors I see that we had a MozRank between 2 and 3 two months ago, but now have a MozRank of 0.
What could have triggered this dropoff? It's clear we need to boost domain authority, but we have never had any so we're no worse in that department now than we were two months ago.
Any insight here would be useful. Thanks!

It could be any number of things. It's possible that you previously had links pointing to the site that were since deleted. Some link checking software will provide you with historical data, so you can see which links have been deleted over time. Won't recommend any here because that's competing software.
It could also be some kind of issue with Moz's crawlers. Maybe they haven't or can't crawl your site for whatever reason.
I wouldn't lose sleep over a hiccup in mozrank though. I would check on traffic data or maybe look at crawl reports from moz and Google WMT to see if any errors increased recently. If everything looks normal then I wouldn't worry.

I bought a domain name https://ez1.in and it has a high MOZ spam score. Although it is because of the previous webmaster who used this domain as a URL shortening website. But now I am using it as a service delivery website. I wanted to know once a domain is deleted and ready to resell MOZ doesn't update its Spam score? Or it has periodic updates that are scheduled? How does the whole process work?

Moz Crawl Report Increase in Errors?
Has anyone else noticed a huge increase over the past couple weeks in crawl issues in their dashboards? Without being able to see historical data week over week, I can't tell what's been added. Is this some update with the tool? I'm not seeing any health issues with this feature on the Moz Health page, it just seems strange that I'm seeing this across all our accounts.

Moz Local | Download Template
Dear Moz I've received your email about Moz Local. A fantastic tool but it does not allow you to download a template. Clicking 'Download this template' simply reloads the page. I am testing it under incognito mode of Chrome with no add-ons Thank you!

Rank Report color coding
As I recall the weekly Rank Report used green and red to indicate an increase or decrease in page rank. Now, there isn't even a minus sign for a drop in page rank. If the current page rank is 10 and it dropped 5, all I see is 10 and 5. How am I supposed to know at a glance that it dropped 5 without having to pull up the historical graph? Best,
