      Can anyone refer me to a document that explains the measures that go into the calculation of Moz Page Authority? I'm chiefly interested in what counts and what doesn't  -- follow links, no-follow links, internal and external, what (if any) on-site factors, etc.

          So it sounds like it's intended as a proxy for Google Pagerank.
