        I didn't even knew there was a negative MozRank. My MozBar doesn't show negative, it shows only positive on root domain and 0, 0, 0 on page. Where did you get -1 from? Printscreen?

          On my moz bar it is zero, when i tried website grader, (not sure on how reliable it is) it gave me -1 as in the text above.

          But still 0 isnt good I believe I'd be happy with a 4. So ive been working on backilinks and im aware it may take a while, but is this the only way to get a good moz ranking. Or is their something in my optimisation, the reason i ask is because opensite explorer doesn't give me much info on it and my campaign highlights the obvious broken links and errors to me.

          I  also cant see my site on google on any page in natural searches. Again I put this down to the moz ranking as the traffic looked okay and was much higher than others and the indexed page i assume has to be okay being higher.

            The -1 probably means that you don't have any yet. Wait until the next Linkscape update some time in August and see then again. Give it some time.
