      Hi there
      I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
      The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
      Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
      Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/

      Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
      I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
      The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
      I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

        Hello,

        I understand your concern regarding the issue you're facing with Moz tracking lists and the discrepancy in backlink recognition. It seems like you've provided a detailed example, including the page link, backlink, and relevant screenshots, which is very helpful.

        If you've been experiencing this problem for the past three months and it involves numerous pages on my site, it does raise questions about the functionality of Moz's Link Explorer or the potential for a technical glitch. It's essential to get to the bottom of this to ensure accurate tracking and reporting of backlinks, which are crucial for assessing a website's performance.

        I recommend reaching out directly to Moz's customer support or technical team to report the issue. They might be able to provide specific insights into whether this is a known problem, if there have been recent updates to their algorithms, or if there's any troubleshooting that can be done on your end.

        It's crucial to address this matter promptly, given the impact accurate backlink data can have on SEO strategies. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I hope you find a resolution soon.

            PA and DA for Homepage

            page authority domain authority internal linking homepage

            I've been looking at the PA and DA scores for the homepage of websites we have built and have been comparing this to competitors. What I'm finding is that the PA score is always higher than the DA, however on competitors sites the PA is much higher in relation to the DA. What could be the reason for this? For example, some of our website homepages may have PA / DA scores such as the following: Website #1: PA37 DA25 (PA:DA = 1.48)
            Website #2: PA31 DA21 (PA:DA = 1.47) However competitors often have figures like this: Website #3: PA40 DA21 (PA:DA 1.9)
            Website #4: PA 25 DA 11 (PA:DA 2.27) I even saw one website with the following scores: Website #5: PA36 DA5 (PA:DA 7.2) How do you explain such a high Page Authority in relation to the domain authority for that site? When I look at the scores for our websites I often feel that the DA is at a good level, but the PA for the homepage doesn't seem as high as it could be compared to competitors. My initial thought was that maybe we had a lot of backlinks to other pages on the website (not the homepage) but this is not the case at all - pretty much all our backlinks are to the homepage. Could it be to do with internal linking structure? Any other ideas? Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

            I have a client who wants to have their own Moz login. I want to move them out on to a new plan from the Standard (5 campaigns) plan. Can I do this?

            For years I've been managing campaigns in Moz through Moz Pro. This enables up to 5 campaigns. One of my clients wants access to their campaign and are happy to pay for a new Moz Standard account just for them. My question is - can this be done? They would like my company (or more specifically me) to still have admin access to the account. I'm confused as to whether multi-seat is the right way to go? I don't want my client to login to my current Moz Pro account as I have other client's campaigns on it. Can anyone help as to the best approach.
