Competitive Domain Analysis & Subdomain Metrics
-
I have a web site that shows with all zeroes in the Competitive Domain Analysis and subdomain Metrics screen. I don't think this is possible because I have a ton of links out there to this web site from a forum that I visit. Can someone help me understand how this might be. I am hoping it's not some dreaded www vs non www issue because I think I solved that issue for this site. The site is www.nationalcurrencyvalues.com

Interestingly Majestic SEO Site Explorer shows no data from it's historic index, but shows 2 referring domains, 85 Backlinks from it's "fresh" index.
Keep building the links!

Both interesting and informative replies... I guess my confusion comes from the fact that my antiquebanknotes.com and NationalCurrencyValues.com domains were both started at the same time and the primary source for tons of inbound links is a signature line I use in a forum. It just seems odd that nationalCurrencyValues shows 0 across the board but It makes sense given the OSE says no data available.
The site does show up for some relevent good searches though so it seems that the DA opinion a little harsh.
I guess I better find some links so that I can evaluate the site better.
Thanks to both replies!

It appears you have the www and non www taken care of. But, there is no DA or PA for this site. I did not that with the exception of the landing page most of the tabs redirect to another url. That url, antiquebanknotes.com has a DA of 10 and the first page has a PA of 20. There is only one linking root domain showing in OSE. (Note that OSE will not show every link but about the top one fourth. So if you have a lot of low value links, they won't show)
I don't know how you did the redirect, but if you believe you have a lot more authority than that for the url you asked about, that would be a place to start. Also, if the site is new, you won't have accumulated any authority yet. You will need to add some links, etc.
You can look in GWMT and see what links they are showing.

HI Greg,
Your site isn't in the Linkscape index that the SEOmoz tools use, as a result there's no data for the tools to work with. If you look-up your site on Open Site Explorer you get the error "No Data Available for this URL"
If you've only got a small number of sites linking to your site you're going to limit the chances that your site will be found and included.
You mention you have a ton of links from a forum you visit. A bunch of links from just one domain (especially forum posts) isn't going to make your site that visible out there on the net.
I would look at ways to promote your site more broadly. Can you get links from a number of other, preferably high authority sites?
A good place to start is looking at who's linking to sites similar to yours. Look up your competitors sites in Open Site Explorer and see where they are getting links from. Maybe you can get links from those sources too.
Hope this helps.

Country Specific Domain
Guyz, we are new startups and have one very simple question regarding domain name. Should we use example.com or example.com.au ? Our Goal initially would be to target customer from Australia and gradually go global. So if we opt for .com.au we may have an edge in terms of local SEO in the beginning but lose out in the long run. What is the best way to tackle this? Thanks

Multiple domain SEO strategy
Hi Mozzers I'm an AM at a web dev. We're building a new site for a client who sells paint to different markets: Paint for boats Paint for construction industry Paint for, well you get the idea! Would we be better off setting up separate domains - boatpaintxxx.com, housepaintxxx.com, etc - and treat each as a searate microsites for standalone SEO activity or have them as individual pages/sub doms from a single domain - paints4all.com or something? From what i've read today, including the excellent Beginners Guide - I'm guessing there's no definitive answer! Feedback appreciated! Thanks.

Subdomain mozTrust - does other parkd domains can affect that ?
Hi , I have my domain www.mydomain.com and it have dpmain authority 26 , domain mozRank around 3 , domain mozTrust 1.63 , page authority 31, Google PR 2.0 etc etc So I am not in very bottom of scores, but my SUBDOMAIN MOZTRUST is only 0.961 and I've checked other websites that I've made some time ago and they have it like 4.0. So it is quite bad. I am having some domain parked within my hosting package. they have different names like www.mydomain2.co.uk , www.mydomain3.com etc. I can acces those domains as wel by typing : mydomain2.mydomain.com mydomain3**.mydomain.com** and have some testing subdomains there as well (just if I need to test something like drupal , wordpress or testing shoping cart etc.) Can that fact affect my subdomain rank ? Because I am having those domains parked there or I've made some subdomains that are not in use and nobody is linking to them and they are visible in Google ?

Migrating to a subdirectory in the same domain
Hi! I have a new version of my website, running with a different CMS (joomla). In order to install the new CMS while not loosing my all content and links I was forced to install the new site in a subdirectory. So the old website was http://www.mydomain.com And the new one is http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory I had redirected http://www.mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory but I am not sure if that is correct, or if it will generate SEO problems. I named the subdirectory with a keyword, at least to have any advantage of something that to my short knowledge looks bad... What do you think? Another question... I understand that it is a good SEO rule to optimize each page for a different keyword. Is it a problem if http://www.mydomain.com is not optimized for anything? Thanks!
