Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Moosa,

I was using DA or PA stats to analyze if a site was worthy to pursue for a backlink. If you are saying that a site that has been de-indexed from the G man can still have high DA or PA then how do i go about finding out if this is a quality site in google's eye then.

Hey David,

The site is definatetely not no-indexed. I am worried that it may have been penalized by google though which is why i was wonder why it still had a decent PA.

It is the site: command that i tried and indeed it did not return any results. I could not fetch as google as it is not my site. It's just a site that i had an incoming backlink from.

And yes it is indexed in Bing.

Hey guys,

I was revisiting the backlinks to my site and found a few that were not indexed on Google anymore. I confirmed this by typing site:"SiteAddress" in google and it retuned 0 result. Yet when i searched the same site on OSE (OpenSiteExplorer) yielded me a PA of over 40.

I used to research sites on OSE to see if they are worth pursuing for a backlink but i am second guessing this because of this recent finding. Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thanks!
