[yudz]

Hey SEOmoz guys,

My question is simple.

Have you re-test your metrics (DA, PA, mR etc) correlation with SERPs in google panda update?

are they still valid in determining authority, trust and popularity in panda update?

are they still usefull?

Thanks!

Hello,

This Q&A section is for and between seomoz members. This question would better be answered by contacting seomoz directly: http://www.seomoz.org/about/contact

SEOmoz staff and associates do monitor the Q&A and often respond. I don't know the answer to this question, but I'll get someone who does know the answer to come in and contribute, as I'm sure others would like to know the answer. If you sent a tweet to @seomoz they're also likely to respond there.

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for your reply. So i would like to change my question, how do you think about this metric in panda update?

IMHO, I notice that this metric is not really working anymore or they have less correlation with SERPs today.

The content farmer sites have great seomoz metric score, but they lose their keyword.

So do my website, yesterday when google panda rolled out world wide, i lose 60% my UV, and my long tail keyword drop from page 1 to page 3 or 4.

My metric was not too bad, i have DA 53, mR 6.10 dan mT 6.20.

My competitor SERPs who has less metric score than mine still on page 1.

So i conclude that this metric has less correlation in determining website quality in relation with google's high quality sites algorithm http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/04/high-quality-sites-algorithm-goes.html

Thats only my opinion. CMIIW.

Please share your opinion about this metric in panda algorithm..

Thanks in advance!

Hi Yudhis,

With every update of our metrics, which is almost monthly, we adjust them to try and match what we are seeing in the SERPs.  As always there are other factors that we might not be aware of that could effect things in the SERP you are looking at but we do readjust things with every update.
