How fast can page authority be grown
-
I understand that it is easier to rank for a particular keyword given a higher DA score. How fast can page authority be established and grown for a given keyword if DA is equal to 10/20/30/50?
What are the relative measures that dictate the establishment and growth of this authority? Can it be enumerated to a percentage of domain links? or a percentage of domain links given an assumed C-Block ratio?
For example you have a website with DA of 40, and you want to target a new keyword, the average PA of the top ranked pages is 30, the average domain links are 1,000, and the average number of linking domains is 250 - if you aim to build 1,000 links per month from 500 linking domains, how fast can you approximate the establishment of page authority for the keyword?

Hey again NickEubanks,
1. checking up on my stats again for my site. its age is 59 days old and has not been registered before.
2. crawl stats are high of 137, average of 61, low of 10. That includes every data point since it is so young(less than 90 days old).
3. seomoz campaign says that I have 78 pages crawled though i dont think all of them should get indexed as pages seemed to get indexed within minutes usually. 59 are indexed. 57 were indexed today and I wrote a post as well as made a new navigation page to keep organized and then it went to 59 within minutes. I don't think tag pages with a single post get indexed or something since some tags do seem to get indexed and also have multiple posts.
4. total links: 1628 from 538 domains. Domain homepage PA of 40 with a DA of 33. Dmozrank 5.3.
my page for the keyword i plan to rank first for is PA 38, 67 links from 14 domains.
The site ranking in first position is much younger (2 year old site) than the other 6 beating me as I am in position 8.
these 6 have 5 with between 60 to 80 DA and one of the worse ranking site on the serps with a DA 46 though it was beating a DA 62.
Each also ranges from have very little to quite a lot of links.
first i'll share the first position stats as it is related to your main focus. PA 14 DA74, 71 links from 4 domains.
all the other 6 are over 10 years old.
after my site is a 6 year old site which i am now beating.
hope you enjoy this juicy info.
so in about 2 months i got to DA33 to answer your original question. This has been fun.

I'm extremely interested! Not directly through age, but it's in there - IMO it is more so a relative measure of the ability of pages on that domain to rank for a keyword versus a stand alone metric for measuring rankability.
A couple questions if you don't mind sharing:
- Has the domain been previously registered or ever had an indexed URL on it in the past?
- What is your daily crawl rate according to webmaster tools?
- What is you new URL to indexed URL ratio?
- What is your website's SEOmoz measure of p-links and d-links, and how do these stack up to the the averages of the top 10 URL's currently ranked for your primary anchor text keyword phrase?
More data makes for more interesting conversation. Thanks in advance.

You do have a good point, the DA is quite relevant to the results even for pages with a low PA.
Here is some info on the seomoz domain authority http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority
to my understanding google values links differently depending on their age to confirm stability and authority.
Are you sure seomoz determines domain authority through age?
edit: with one of my sites after its first crawl after 2 weeks of existing the DA is 13. the next crawl begins on the 11th i could let you know what the results are after that as the metrics are quite slow to catch up (was 15 linking domains after 2 weeks now is well over 700 linking domains after a big link bait at 4 weeks old according to webmaster tools which is also behind)

Well, actually DA is very relevant to what I want to achieve - I want the ability to build marginal page authority and still be able to rank well in a relatively short period of time. Based on my research, and I have a lot of it at this point, DA that is comparable to the average DA of the top 1o currently ranked URL's for a particular keyword enables pages with PA of sometimes 1 to rank within the top 10 - which is precisely what I am attempting to gauge.
There is absolutely no way DA can be increased by anywhere close to 50 in less than 6 months. Regardless of where your links are coming from it is made quite clear that this is largely a measure of trust beyond relevancy and must be built over time.
-
You are over complicating a metric which may not even be relevant to what you want to achieve.
DA does not = higher SERPs necessarily.
DA can be increased probably well over 50 within a few weeks if you have the right connections.

Domain Authority Droped 4 Points
Hi there, After the Last Mozscape index update: 08/27/2013Our DA along with all our competitors DA has dropped 4 points, Is there any reason for this ?Have others seen the same thing? Any suggestions of building DA again fast ? The owner of the company gets the reports from Moz and it really doesn't look good. Is it expected to bounce back ?

What could cause your Domain Authority score to drop?
We have 3 websites that are on 3 different campaigns. Our flagship website is www.cannontrading.com. The Domain Authority score on it was 42. When I first (Mid November 2012) started, we had 295 keywords allocated for Cannontrading.com and 5 other keywords for allocated to our other websites... e-futures.com and e-mini.com. What I wanted to do was optimize the other two pages and I did this by taking taking 50 the keywords that were not ranked in the top 50 from Cannontrading.com and assigned them to the our other two sites. Could this have caused the drastic drop in the score? Our keyword rankings for the "Top 3" has dropped from 93 to 34 since November 2012. We did have a company that did article submissions for us up till October 2012. Could this have caused our drop in the Domain Authority Score and our Keyword Rankings? I didn't make any other changes to Cannon website beside taking away those keywords and given them to our other sites. Any suggestions or thoughts would really help me. Regards, David

How to Calculate % improvement in Mozrank and Domain Authority
I understand the concept that mozrank and Domain Authority are measured on a logarithmic scale . http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank I'm trying to determine the percentage improvement in the Logrithmic value. For example Original Domain Authority 60 Original Mozrank 5 End Domain Authority 63 End Mozrank 6. So 5% change in DA and 20% change in MozRank. How do we convert these numbers to the real logrithmic change?

On Page Optimization Reports - Huh?
I've been working hard to use this EXCELLENT tool for optimize some of what I consider my most important pages . . . But the automatic tool that pulls pages and grades them (the "summary" of the "on page" report) . . . I don't get it. It only graded three of my pages, and I don't understand how it chose what keywords to grade it for? I'm just very confused. I don't understand how it chose the pages to grade, not the words it chose to grade it against. 😞
