Amazing results even after 1 week!

Have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Moz, this is now my first full week of membership and wow have I seen some great increases in my site stats! Hopefully this isn't just a blip and that it wil continue for weeks and months to come.

• Authority has jumped from 27 to 34
• Google page one results jumped from 7 to 13
• Trafffic increased by 12%
• Solved duplicate content issues
• Started a proactive social media campaign

I could go on and on, but can't say enough positive things about the services that are provided here, an investment well worth paying and already paying for itself.

The goal for the next few weeks is to improve domain authority from 34 to 40+, I've been using long tail phrases for my articles, which has been tremendously beneficial.

One query is that even though the domain authority has moved from 27 - 34, I don't appear to have gained any extra backlinks - perhaps I'm misunderstand this metric?

The other query is that there are 100's of backlinks pointing to my domain (I provide an open source cms so I know the links are there), but none of these lnks appear to be counting towards my authority. Is there a way I can submit these pages to the index on their behalf?

Cheers, Lee

I wonder if your metrics really jumped up since a week because you're using Moz, let's still give them some credit but they updated their Moz metrics last week so the work to up your authority was probably already done 1,5 months ago.

Next to that, there is no way unfortunately to tell Moz about the links that you've got but are not in the list at the moment, you have to trust Moz and hope for the best on their next update that these links will be in there index.

Hope this helps!

Hi Marijn,

thanks for responding, I guess I got the wrong impression of the Moz functionality, thought that the weekly updates were instantanious and provide a "as it is now" perspective of authority, so its handy to know, so thanks for the share

I have a query about updates, (in relation to the Google index) that you might be able to help me with? Only if you have the time of course.

I provide software that displays a footer link, I know for sure which sites are using my software and that a little under half retain the footer link.

A best case guess of the amount of links that are pointing to my main are in the order of 400k (maybe even double this amount), because it varies per site dependant on the amount of pages, one site, has 10k pages (which is probably the largest) but the others range from 100 to a couple of thousand pages (all of which contain a link back).

The problem is that my domain authority doesn't seem to reflect this amount of links. One would think even new sites would pass a little link juice, or is it possible that Google is discounting most or a selection of them?

I was thinking of compiling a list of sites that use my software, with links so that Google will crawl the sites, but I read that this can affect authority negatively?

fyi - Moz says that there are only 35k, which is less than a 10th (at best) of what's out there.

Best wishes, Lee
