Domain authority for a new site
-
Hi we a starting a new web which will be optimised for key words. What can we expect in terms of Domain authority when it comes to starting a brand new website? We will be devoting quite a significant amount of money in our AdWords campaign budget to promote the site and the products.

Hardley 111, NAP stands for name, address, phone number

Hi Sangeeta,
Thanks for the the answer can you explain what NAP refers to?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Keri,
thank you for bringing that to my attention. I hope I have cleaned it up enough to be more helpful.
All the best,
Thomas
PS
I think Sangeeta means getlisted.org
Sangeeta,
please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thomas, I think part of your answer got cut off or repeated. Could you review what you wrote and edit it a bit to make it more understandable? Thanks!

Does your website have a blog? If yes, you can start posting good and interesting content. Use an email list and social media to network it and get some links. Gradually DA and PA will increase. Additionally, add you business to local listing sites especially those mentioned on listed.org. Make sure the NAP is consistent. That should get you some authority.

Here is a link discussing domain authority.
http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority
I would also recommend reading John Doherty's post on domain authority/domain trust
http://www.johnfdoherty.com/four-factors-domain-trust/
this is an extremely hard question to answer. I would say you will start out with 0 domain authority or 1 and a your site will change determined by how much quality content and semantic data a.k.a. relevant content links everything that matters to Google will matter to you. Please look at the learning section
In the 4 factor post from John he goes over these 4 factors.
Domain Age
Link Diversity
high-quality Relevant inbound links.
internal linking.
just spending money on a AdWords campaign will have no bearing on your domain authority
have no bearing on your domain authority. You can have a high quality score if you follow the advice given by Google and companies like word stream.
However it sounds like you're talking about domain authority which really is more based on inbound links, social scores, age of the domain Age, relevancy of links, internal linking. and Will not be affected by spending money on a Google ad words campaign.
I hope this helps,
Thomas

Get discovered and lost linking domains separately
Hello, We want to get "discovered and lost links" using api.
API | | OlegKireyenka
You do not have discovered and lost metrics available via the Links API and we call api for backlinks and then cross reference this with the links found the last time, we are able to get only NET links, but we want to get "just discovered and lost links" separately.
for example: inbound links for 27 July is 600, inbound links for 30 July is 750, okay, NET links from 27 July to 30 July = 750-600=150. And in this case "discovered and lost links" maybe: 400 and -250, 300 and -150, 150 and 0, and etc. Maybe I can not understand something, give example please. Thank!0 -
Domain Authority drop due to Moz update?
Hi guys, I have noticed an unusual Domain Authority (DA) drop in mid November for many different websites here in Sweden. There was a Moz update the 12th of November which I assume has to do with this drop. I have attached the DA history chart to visualize the drop. Does someone have any information about: Did the drop in DA have to do with the update the 12<sup>th</sup>? Did the new update have a new type of metric calculation? Is anyone else experiencing this drop? Any extra details would be helpful. Thanks a lot guys. YLhKVwF.png

New Moz reports
The new MozPRo reports do not give me the same level of data as my previous reports on the old platform, including detailed keyword reporting. I recently discovered that even if I schedule a monthly report, I still only get weekly data. Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with these new reports?
