301 Redirect and Loss of PA and DA
-
Mozzers,
http:itsgr82bme.com
Old domain homepage had a DA of 24 and a PA of 36
Currently redirected to http://thekidstime.com
Homepage shows a DA of 6 and a PA of 1.
That is a significant loss of authority. I thought a 301 is supposed to be better than that. What gives?
What are the next steps, asking the old backlinks to update their links?
Thanks for your help,
Matt

Oleg,
Thanks for your response. I hadn't considered that Moz had gotten it wrong.
I just checked Majestic and everything looks fine.
Thanks for taking the time to respond,
Matt

DA/PA = Moz. This has no effect on rankings.
I am surprised that moz isn't picking up on the redirect (usually says "this domain redirects to ______") but I wouldn't worry about it.
You don't need to ask old backlinks to update links... unless the site is the same, there is a chance they will simply remove the backlinks since they aren't as relevant. Best you can do is ping google to recrawl the backlinks of itsgr82bme.com

301 redirects in Wordpress vs. making old posts that you no longer want your audience to see private.
I'm working on Wordpress at the moment changing the content of a page on my website. The page has a lot of educational information and each section is unique. I had to go through and edit each section on google documents and now I'm posting all the new pages and making the old pages private on wordpress. Is this a good idea? I'm worried google will still crawl my private education pages and think these are duplicates since the new pages somewhat resemble the old. Also, should I be 301 redirecting all the old education pages to the corresponding new ones even if they are private on wordpress? I understand that the 301 redirect should only be used if you want the old page to go to a new one. What i don't understand id weather this will still be relevant or work if I've already made the old page private on wordpress. Thank You!

How is my 301 redirected site stealing rankings from the main site?
Hello, I have a site, drhobelt.com, that 301 redirects to the main site, drhonow.com.

How do I reclaim the rankings for drhonow.com? Thanks for reading!!

Is 301 redirecting your index page to the root '/' safe to do or do you end up in an endless loop?
Hi I need to tidy up my home page a little, I have some links to our index.html page but I just want them to go to the root '/' so I thought I could 301 redirect it. However is this safe to do? I'm getting duplicate page notifications in my analytic reportings tools about the home page and need a quick way to fix this issue. Many thanks in advance David

301 Redirecting Multiple Domains
I have several complete websites with blogs setup for different geo locations and was considering forwarding them all to one domain directly would greatly benefit ranking. The blogs are all linked together and that is where most of the links come from. Would I benefit in 301 Redirecting the domains?

301 or 302 Redirects to Mobile Site
When it's detected that a mobile device is accessing the site it has the ability to redirect from www.example.com to m.example.com. Does it make more sense to employ a 301 or 302 redirect here? Google says a 301 but does not explain why (although usually I stick to "when in doubt, 301") . It seems like a 302 would prevent passing link juice to the mobile site and having mobile-optimized results also showing up in Google's index. What is the preference here?

PA and DA
Over the past couple of monthly updates I have notice both coming down a bit even though nothing has changed that should affect them. Anyone else notice this? Perhaps it is attributable to better metrics?
