Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Unfortunately, we don't have much guidance from Google at this point on the "Interesting Finds" section. It seems to be news-like, but as with "Top Stories," taps sites and articles beyond traditional news sites. It's very likely that AMP is a factor. Anecdotally, the articles seem to be more of a mix of recent and evergreen than "Top Stories" do. It almost seems more connected to "In-depth Articles," which disappeared last year. When the articles aren't recent, they seem to be longer, more in-depth pieces.

That will be 'Total linking domains' . It's the number of different sites that are linking to yours. The second one that otherwise would be used is the sum of the two external links (follow/nofollow). That's the number that you'd get if you take the number of links from every individual name.

Sorry I meant to add some links that might be useful. here they are https://moz.com/community/q/will-301-redirects-slow-page-speed https://moz.com/blog/heres-how-to-keep-301-redirects-from-ruining-your-seo https://moz.com/community/q/massive-301-permanant-redirects This is an older question on here but may have some useful insights. https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/113246/does-too-many-301-redirects-harm-serp-rankings http://www.thesempost.com/best-practices-for-301s-in-large-htaccess-file/ https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/301-redirect-lessons

I will. I have a team starting tomorrow!

Not a problem Alan

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Could you please pop an email about this over to help@moz.com, along with a couple of examples of keyword and URL combinations you're testing, so we can take a look into this for you? Looking forward to hearing from you!

In addition to the responses which have already been posted to your question, there is another way to go about this, frequently used. It's not necessarily "better", but might be a more feasible alternative for you. 1. As long as you still own your old domain, then you could go into your DNS settings of the old domain (with your registrar/nameserver account), and set a simple pattern redirect to point all traffic from old.com/* to new.com/$1. Note that different domain services have different ways for you to specify this, but you are looking for whatever method preserves the file path from the request and appends it to the new domain. 2. So, then if you've done #1 as above, you would then set up your 1:1 redirects for every old page on the new server. This has the disadvantage ofc reating a small "redirect chain", meaning every redirect will have 2 hops instead of just one. Which makes it slightly less optimal than one of the other solutions mentioned which would only have 1 hop. But, at the same time is has a feasibility advantage, and lets you maintain all of your redirects in one place.  But yes, you would want to redirect all of your old pages. You might not need to do all 1:1, if you have some patterns, because you can also use pattern redirects. And if you do, then those ones you might want to put back out in your DNS settings for the old domain, so they wouldn't have 2 hops. 3. Technically, #1 and #2 should take care of #3. However, for the most valuable ones, you might also want to reach out to the sites and request an update. Just because fewer hops is more optimal. But technically a small chain of redirects should work.

Hi there! Sam from Moz's Help Team there! Those units specifically (501-850) are in the hundreds. Higher volumes are represented by 'k' for thousands - e.g. 6.5k - 9.3k, and millions are represented by 'm', e.g. 300k-1.5m. Let us know if we can help with anything else!

It's commonly thought that successive links from the same domain, yield less and less benefit each time (eventually diminishing). A few links from one domain isn't too bad, but once you get to tens or hundreds - the spend may eclipse the benefit which each successive link brings

Hey! DA scores are specific to the root domain, we are not taking into account a subdomain.  So even if you search a subdomain that doesn't exist (ffff.blog.ir), DA score is still only relevant to the root domain (blog.ir) which does exist. Page Authority on the other hand is specific to the exact page you are searching, so it makes sense that mihanblog.com and hfilm.mihanblog.com would have different page authority scores are they are separate pages. Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Unless the content which earned the authority is very similar to the new content, Google might nuke the site's rankings anyway. I hope you also checked the site's historic SEO performance (traffic, ranking keywords) as, authority and links don't necessarily mean the site is work a damn If the site had loads of good links but blocked Google from crawling it, then that authority may never have translated in SEO ranking power. If the site had strong SEO authority, that may have been offset by previous Google penalties and stuff like that - which don't reduce (but do entirely nullify) the benefit of having strong authority metrics The days of just buying a site then putting your own stuff on and it does equally as well, are pretty much gone. Maybe you will be lucky, I don't know. If Google does reboot your SEO authority, I don't think you'll get it back again with that kind of site. Free driver sites that push driver software (regmechanic, secunia PSI) are ten a penny and the best of them are 'iffy' at best (users often get issues like the wrong bit-architecture of the driver is installed on their OS - e.g: 32 bit driver is installed on system that supports 64 bit driver) Some providers developed very powerful scanners, but they mostly evolved into software solutions (rather than more shallow websites). It's unlikely that in 2019, a site without a solid value-proposition (what unique value does it add to the web?) will take off or become Google-popular If your SEO authority doesn't get nuked you might have a shot, but that will depend upon how similar your new content is to the old content (in mathematical terms, not human terms - e.g: Boolean string similarity comparison stats for whole content pieces) It's kind of redundant when, most manufacturers produce software which automatically keeps all drivers up to date anyway (e.g: GeForce Experience). Those bespoke tools often do a much better job of driver installation too! One tool for all your PC upgrades has been a holy grail for decade, IMO it's a bit of a wild goose chase Read this post also: https://moz.com/community/q/why-would-my-page-have-a-higher-pa-and-da-links-on-page-grade-still-not-rank

Hi there! Thanks so much for the question! Unfortunately 'Date First Seen', 'Date Last Seen', and 'Date Lost' are not currently available via API. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience. If you need anything else or if you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at help@moz.com

Hi there! Thanks so much for the question! Sorry for the confusion here. The best thing to do regarding those blank fields would be to ignore them. These fields are not actually calculated but are returned as empty/default values. If you would like to see fewer of those fields, adjusting the TargetCols, LinkCols, and SourceCols is the best way to do that. However, some fields (lrid, lsrc, ltgt) are included in all responses regardless of the requested columns. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need anything else, please do feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com.

Your question lead me to discover the complete answer for myself, as I'm also always on the path of discovery. I found this whiteboard Friday that also lead to this article about using screaming frog which I found extremely informative.  Hope that helps -Paul

In my opinion - no, as Ifa as I understand Gooogle doesn't look too favourably at the, maybe it assumes that a page with no links from inside its own website has little or no importance.

Ok, some specifics: Today I downloaded moz-inbound-links-for-fordanddoonan_com_au-2019-05-07_06_29_56_307340Z.csv. I has a header as follows: Inbound Links for fordanddoonan.com.au Scope pld Sorted by source_page_authority Filters: external+not_deleted Anchor text all Source PLD all What API scope matches the one given in the header namely "pld"? Please also point me to the place in the documentation where a filter of "not_deleted" can be specified, as the header has "not_deleted" as a Filter attribute but I can't see that in any of the documentation. I do need some hand-holding here. I'm trying to use the API to generate a moz-inbound-links report but I'm not at all sure where to start.

You are more than welcome. I know I really enjoy answering questions on here and I suspect that EffectDigital does as well. Please do let us know how you get on either directly or by replying to this post, that is one thing that is lacking when we respond to questions on any forum. People don't always let us know the results of our answers. I wish you all the best working with what sounds to be a good client and hope to see more of you on the forums. Steve

Hi, It depends, if the links are topical and flow naturally in the content then they should help. If they are spammy and not related at all to the content, then I would think they will be ignored at best. Internal links help show Google etc. which pages you believe to be the most important on your site, that doesn't mean you should include lots of spammy links on your pages though. More internal links pointing to a page that is topical and relevant to the content is the best way. Steve
