Page authority has disappeared since redirect
-
As the title states, my page authority (PA) has completely disappeared for certain pages on my site.
I have recently had a redesign and optimised the page names, redirecting the page it has replaced.
This has been nearly 2 months now and the new pages are showing PA of 1 still.
The 301 redirects definitely work so what am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance!

Hi Shaun
If you look at Dr Petes response to a similar recent question SEOMoz transfer less PA through 301 redirects, especially in the short term.
You need to remember that PA is based on your links and the link juice they pass and 301 redirects pass around 90 - 99%, plus the fact that it can take sometime for them to catch up although I know you say it has been 2 months.
Has your redesign involved a restructure that might have changed the flow of link juice - also mentioned in the response by DR Pete in the below Q&A.

Hi Matt
I had a look at the post, it is relevant but doesn't really clarify anything.
I am worried that there is something I am doing wrong because the pages are well linked internally and I am pretty sure they will have external links to them too.
There has been a massive restructure. I have gone from http://www.mysite.com/services/my-product.aspx to https://mysite.com/services/3-stage-name.aspx
OSE shows I have no data on my HTTP status for these new pages too. I can't seem to get to the bottom of this.
