MozRank and mozTrust computations
-
Are there any details on the computations involved with mR and mT?
I am specifically wondering about Google.com. The DA and PA is 100. If that page does not max out on the other factors it seems that no internet page or site would.
The page has the following stats:
mR 8.68
mT 7.95
DmR 9.29
DmT 9.36
Until now I have only focused on DA & PA. I would like to better understand the mechanics of these other measurements.

Hi Ryan,
You can learn more about MozRank and MozTrust at the following pages:
http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank
http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust
The most basic reason why google.com doesn't have a perfect 10 for MR and MT is because no site does. Mozrank is the global link authority and importance of a site independent of a specific query. Those sites with a higher MozRank are likely to rank higher than their lesser ranking counterparts and not even google.com ranks #1 for every keyword possible in a search engine. PA/DA are directly related to how well a site will rank in Google.com using a variety of different metrics.
Read about Page Authority and Domain Authority here:

Definitely, check out those links though to learn all about these different metrics.

I'm flagging this one for the help team to come in and take a look at when they get a chance (though they're a bit busy right now with some other issues so it might be a bit). I don't have an answer for this one myself.

Ryan - Thanks for asking this question. Now I don't feel stupid for wondering how MR and MR (or even the Google equivalents) work.
As another comparator, the Library of Congress's MR & MT :
Page MR 7.27
MT 8.39
Domain MR 7.61
MT 8.92
Perhaps Rand could address this in a White Board ?

MozTrust suddenly dropped to zero. Link data now unavailable???
I'm running an SEOMoz campaign for a small site to monitor some tweaks I've made and testing new things out. Over a year or so the changes were great - organic traffic was rising, domain metrics were too. Then in October 2012 domain trust, Moztrust and all other link metrics went to zero. There's no data in OSE for this particular small site and as far as I can tell, no impact on search. The limited number of inbound links all appear to be intact and there's no reason why the site would be hit by Panda/Penguin style updates. Why has this sudden loss of data occurred? Is the site no longer in SEOMoz's databases? Without any link data it's difficult to tell why this has happened. If it is no longer in the Moz database, how do I get it back - that data was useful!

MozRank per Link: Valuable or Worthless?
Since the MozRank and MozTrust metrics are on a logarithmic scale, I'm wondering if it's still valuable to get a general idea of the quality of a site's link profile by calculating: MozRank / Total Links MozTrust / Total Links Would this be useful, or is it always going to be higher for sites with lower MozRank & MozTrust since it's "easier" to achieve the lower values?

Has anyone noticed slight drops in the Domain mozRank of their sites since the OSE update?
There's been no significant changes to their link profiles, so I'm thinking how mozRank is measured may have changed. Anyone else have this issue?
