    Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority.
    1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain?
    2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?
    Thank you.

      Hey, thanks for reaching out.

      All links that are pointed to your site are weighted in your Domain Authority score, this includes follow and nofollow links.

      Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

        How do I find http backlinks to my domain?

        backlinks http

        Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

        Does Moz register backlinks from Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn?

        I've noticed that on sites with decent social presence and regular content posts that Moz isn't showing/recording any inbound links from Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Posts are regularly shared via these three channels but no inbound links ever seem to show up. Does Moz not record such inbound links, or are they all disguised using JavaScript or some other trick?

        Fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?

        Hi all, I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz? I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links.  I am not convinced that these techniques are working. On a related note, my website is very large.  I have around 2.5m pages.  Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page).  Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again?  If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly?  Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller? Many thanks in advance, Neil.

        Does using Sucuri block Moz?

        I am using Opensite explorer on my site which uses Sucuri and it shows 0 for everything. Does Sucuri stop MOZ from reading the link? I also suspect that using Sucuri has made my SEO suffer because the first page is always saying "redirecting" . Anyone with experience to this? Thanks
