      Hi there,

      I have been having an issue with OSE attributing page authority to one of the sites I have been looking at. The homepage page authority is fine but any page after this does not have any according to OSE. I have been in touch with Moz and they have stated it's because there are no external or internal links pointing to any of these pages. However, I know that their are internal links pointing to these pages from the homepage in the nav. The domain is: https://healys.com/

      If anyone has any ideas what may be going on that would be great.

      Thanks!

        Hi there!

        The Moz index is large, but it does not cover the entire web. We work on a breadth-first approach, so it's much more likely we'll have data from the top level pages of your site (like the homepage) before we find link data for individual pages lower in the site structure. If we are not reporting link data for a page, it does not mean there are absolutely no links out the on the web, it means we just haven't found them yet!

        We generally recommend using a wide variety of tools to get a full picture of your backlink profile. We tend to focus on collecting higher quality links rather than quantities of links. The best way to get your page to show up in our index is to work on building high-quality links from sites with high Domain Authority and MozRank/MozTrust!

        I hope that helps clarify things!

          Hey!

          Thank you for your response, the only thing I am wondering about is why it hasn't picked up any page apart from the homepage. I would expect it to have found something other than the homepage by now?

          Thanks 🙂
