Page MozRank and MozTrust 0 for Home Page, Makes No Sense?
-
Hey Mozzers!
I'm a bit confused by a site that is showing a 0 for home page MozRank and MozTrust, while its subdomain and root domain metrics look decent (relatively).
I am posting images of the page metrics and subdomain metrics to show the disparity:
Is it normal to see this type of disparity? The home page has very little inbound links, but the big goose egg has me wondering if there is something else going on.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or, does anyone have speculation as to why a home page would have a 0 MozRank while the subdomain metrics look much better?
Thanks!

It is hard to tell if there is a problem without knowing what the site is.
It only has two external links? If the other pages have more, that would be your answer.
Also make sure you are checking the right address - try it with www and without.

Thanks for your reply. It is the correct subdomain (www). The number of links seems to be the main issue, however I am surprised that it is 0. I don't know if I've seen a page authority 0 for a home page that resides on a 3-4 PR site. It raised a red flag, which is why I thought to bring it to the Q&A.

Also, the number of internal links doesn't make sense. There are plenty of links from pages on the site linking to the home page.
I might have found a problem though. The internal links I spot checked link to /Default.aspx or a similar URL. Of course, it leads to the home page, but possibly doesn't give the credit to home.com/ ?

That may be at least part of the problem. If you're not able to share the URL with us in Q&A, I'd drop a note to the help desk at help@seomoz.org and ask them.
