301 Redirect and Loss of PA and DA

[matt.nails]

Mozzers,

http:itsgr82bme.com

Old domain homepage had a DA of 24 and a PA of 36

Currently redirected to http://thekidstime.com

Homepage shows a DA of 6 and a PA of 1.

That is a significant loss of authority. I thought a 301 is supposed to be better than that. What gives?

What are the next steps, asking the old backlinks to update their links?

Thanks for your help,

Matt

DA/PA = Moz. This has no effect on rankings.

I am surprised that moz isn't picking up on the redirect (usually says "this domain redirects to ______") but I wouldn't worry about it.

You don't need to ask old backlinks to update links... unless the site is the same, there is a chance they will simply remove the backlinks since they aren't as relevant. Best you can do is ping google to recrawl the backlinks of itsgr82bme.com

Oleg,

Thanks for your response. I hadn't considered that Moz had gotten it wrong.

I just checked Majestic and everything looks fine.

Thanks for taking the time to respond,

Matt
