Twitter Page Authority Score?

[justinjeffries]

I've been doing some competitive research in Open Site Explorer and many of our competitors have Twitter accounts very similar to ours.

Their Twitter pages are usually one of the pages with linking to their website with the most Page Authority.  The incoming links from Twitter are a "no follow" as you would guess.

This has been the case for a large number of well ranking sites I have looked at.

www.dremed.com also has a Twitter account at:  https://twitter.com/#!/DREmed .  However, Open Site Explorer does not list the Twitter link as an incoming link at all ( or if it does it has no Page Authority ).

The Twitter account page seems very similar in nature to other competing Twitter pages.  I'm not sure why it does not ALSO pull a high Page Authority score???

Do you know why this might be?

Best,

Justin

Sure it scores! Not as weel as if it was a do follow link; but is much more better that not having it.

Good Luck!

My concern is that our Twitter link does not show in Open Site Explorer at all.  It is as if we do not have a Twitter account from Open Site Explorers perspective even though our Twitter account is live and well.

FYI: Opensite explorer (mozbar) is reading the PA wrong for Twitter pages.

Unless my personal twitter page has a Domain Auth of 98

So don't pay too much attention to the PA score on Twitter pages plus it's no follow any way.

To answer the "not showing in site explorer" question, for a start OSE does not crawl every page on the web, it does a good job of trying but SEOmoz don't have the horse power of Google. The more links you have pointing at your Twitter page the more likely Roger will pick it up, but I really would not worry about it.

Also remember that the SEOmoz index only gets updated once a month, so if your page is new that might be why it's not showing yet...

Hope that helps
