8 point decrease in DA, increase in search traffic- should I disavow links?
-
Would a decrease in DA reflect the need to disavow junk links?
My branded keywords recently bumped down two spots, whereas the keywords which have been bringing me the most traffic have been unaffected.
Site: Edwardsturm.com
DA decrease of 8 over past 3 months.
Keyword "Edward Sturm" recently moved to second spot.

For anybody who's curious, my editor got a link from an external source pointing to our home page. Her name, next to a link to Edwardsturm.com, must have decreased my site's relevance for the branded keyword of my name. The decrease in rank for this branded keyword happened at the same time that my editor was mentioned in this external source, so I'm assuming they're related. Kind of crazy.

Hi there,
You should always check for junk links and disavow them.
Remember that there are lots of reasons for the da and pa to decrease/increase. If your main keywords are unaffected, then don't worry much.
Best luck.
GR.

Specific external links
So...we have an A+ rating with the BBB and have for some time. We have a link from their page. We also use sites like pricegrabber and reseller rankings and have links from those. What I can't figure out is why links from the BBB and Pricegrabber don't even show up in open site explorer but the reseller ratings links are everywhere. The BBB one is easily the oldest and the other two are roughly the same age (i.e. at least a couple years old.)

Does SEOMOZ use Google Search?
I run a Joomla site and have noticed users having a hard time finding what they are looking for. The default Joomla search is lacking and the latest Joomla search component I added is better but still not great. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for on SeoMoz, do you guys use Google Site Search?

Non search traffic in a report, user data etc
Are there any plans so we could add more data from Google Analytics to the seomoz reports? At the moment the reports are nice but my clients want to know the bigger picture than just the search traffic. They need to know the total traffic, the bounce rate, pages viewed etc - data in Google Analytics. There are other seo type tools which offer this information when you generate reports and if seomoz were to allow it then it would make life so much easier as I would not need to maintain a subscription here for the cool tools on offer and to offer websites at up to $100 a month just to generate client reports.
