      Please allow me to share some metrics with you.

      The first column contain the metrics of our company, the 2 on the right are some competitors. Picture 1 is the page specific metrics for our homepages www.domainname.com

      Picture 2 is the root specific metrics.

      What I do not understand is the huge difference between our company homepage under page metrics and our root domain. What would be your suggestion to do?

      Our on-page factors are graded A, so these are okay. Based on the results, my main focus is to more actively build up more links. Nevertheless, we already have links for on the websites that came out of siteexplorering the competition.  Nevertheless one competitor is included on DMOZ which has a very high domaintrust. We are already waiting for months to be included... But I am sure that this one link cannot make all the difference.

        You really don't need to do anything, this is totally normal.  One of them is showing metrics for the specific page (your home page) and the other is metrics for your domain overall.

        It's totally normally for the PA of the homepage to be higher than the DA...

          Thanks for your reply. Based on the results, would you suggest to get more links quick or to build up links from domains with a high Moztrust?

            It is going to be a better strategy to focus on building links that are higher DA and Trust than building a ton of links very quickly. Focus on building links from multiple domains rather than just getting a lot of links from a few domains (such as sidebar links).
