Significant difference with DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool
-
I saw a big difference between DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool. Which DA score is the correct one?
I personally believe the scores on Moz's site is most accurate. Do you happen to have issues syncing the scored to your Chrome app?
Chrome App VS. Moz Research Tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/)
Moz.com: 92 / 88 Here's a screenshot of the difference: https://ipricegroup-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/p/jeremy_chew/ESy9lzUTC3lOl8o93Sx6LsUB8mYXo8LmYuUj2aa0xLXi1A?e=A6OrXsThis was evident in other websites too:
Priceza (priceza.com.my 38 / 24
Shopback (shopback.my 43 / 41

Sam,
Good to know. When did the switchover occur? Was something posted so we'd know?

Thanks for the clarification Samantha. That's really helpful

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help team here!
The reason this is happening is because the Mozbar is now pulling data from our brand new link index, whereas OSE is powered by the old link index.
The way we index the web for Link Explorer (which is now powering the Mozbar) is a bit different than the way we index for Open Site Explorer. With OSE, the index updates only about once a month whereas new data is added to Link Explorer every day. The index for Link Explorer is a different index than the Mozscape index used for OSE and includes a lot more data- we’re seeing more of the web with the new index which is helping to provide more accurate data on which to base these metrics.
In addition, the algorithm we use to calculate DA has been updated with this new index to better correlate with Google’s actual ranking standards so we can provide a more accurate representation of a site’s potential ability to rank.
Pairing the larger index of more data with an optimized DA/PA calculation will result in some changes to DA/PA. We do recommend tracking your DA and PA relative to the competitors you are tracking, as that is where the true value of the metrics is.
I hope this helps to answer your question - please feel free to send any others our way!

Unsolved How Should I Increase DA of my Website?
Google itself has been troubled by ranking factors. On top of that, the https://moz.com/ has worn a new garland of domain authority. It is even more regrettable when a website DA suddenly decreased. As recently on 22nd September, my website's DA was 16. As usual, on September 23, I posted a new informational blog related to QuickBooks antivirus exclusions on my website. The very next day my website DA was decreased. Can anyone who knows SEO help me understand why this always happens specially to me every time? I read the whole forum and all I found out is how my site's DA is decreased.

Can anyone let us know whether we can increase the Domain Authority of our website only by creating backlinks or there can be some other activities also?1 -
In Moz Campaigns, how are competitor domains tracked if they redirect their site?
Hello! One of our competitors (Company A) that we've tracked in Moz for a long time recently merged with another company (Company B) and redirected their whole site to Company B's site. Will our competitor tracking still work as-is? Or do we need to make an adjustment? I'm reluctant to delete Company A from our competitor tracking, because we will lose all of that data. But if all of the keywords are slowly going to drop off as Google starts showing Company B results only, it may be the only option. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Moz Crawler Causing Server Timeouts... Crawling thousands of non-existant pages with query parameters
Moz crawler is crawling all pages like this: http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_orderby=date http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&paged=1 http://www.xxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_view=grid Last month it crawled 80,000 pages on a site with less than 100 pages. Is there a way to select only certain pages to be crawled? Right now it is still crawling this site, since Monday morning and it's Tuesday mid-day. Every Monday it is causing time-outs from high band width on our server. Just getting ready to delete this client from the account unless there is a solution someone can give us. Thanks.

Does anyone else have issues with Moz's keyword search volume tool for Google's search engine?
It will show the search volume for Bing even when Google is selected. Then, if you select Bing, you'll get the same data as it shows for when you selected "google". So basically, this tool does not work for Google's search engine. Or it is most likely not a reliable way to perform keyword research. Anyone else notice this? Does Moz even offer a way to submit a support ticket to get this fixed?

Moz Conversion Tracking
Is there a place here on Moz where goals and conversions can be set up or viewed? If the latter, does Moz just take the data from Analytics? Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks,

Moz showing warnings for each dynamic link despite canonicalization?
As you can see in the attached image, Moz is showing a warning for each dynamic URL despite a rel=canonical tag. Is this by design? If so, it is frustrating seeing as it is really just the one page with many links . . . 9h5oDmr.png
