      Hi folks,

      Our website is doing well in the Google rankings relative to our competitors who often have higher "Domain authority" than us as reported by Moz.  I'm wondering how closely Moz's "Domain Authority" correlates with Google's.

      In particular, I wonder how long it takes Moz to discover inbound links.  For instance our page at http://www.educationquizzes.com/ks3/english has many inbound links from pages on an outstanding educational website and yet our page authority is given by Moz as a measly "1"!

      Any insights would be very much appreciated.

        It really comes down to how often google crawls your website. Matt Cutts said that it could take up to 90 days for google webmaster tools to find the links.

          In the same boat here, I've been waiting 75+ days and see the links on Webmaster Tools but my MOZ DA does not change. Haven't found out why they're showing in one and not the other.

            Moz updates the DA and other metrics about once a month. We're scheduled to have an update tomorrow, and you can check back in the late afternoon to see how things look.

              Great, hoping to see some movement with the links I've added. This stuff is a lot of work and the results take a while to show up but will keep at it. Thanks for the info Keri.
