Can You Hide Your PA/DA

InsanelySane · Apr 29, 2014

I know ahrefs doesnt typically honor blocking their crawlers, although I am pretty sure you can block MOZ.

If a site was blocking MOZ wouldn't that cause their PA/DA to show up significantly lower that what it actually is? And if say all or most of the sites in the top 10 position in google blocked MOZ; wouldn't this completely fuck up keyword research analysis?

As PA/DA is now one of the prime metrics in determining competition.

No. Your PA/DA are calculated based in links towards you, so it doesn't matter what you block on your own site.

You can block Moz. Their crawler has a signature that you can ban from inside most hosts Cpanel but that wont affect those ratings.
As for would you want to?

My money is on Google to buy MOZ in the next 2-3 years and these metrics to become industry standard - replacing the soon to be obsolete (patent about to expire) Page rank.

That will make the prime snake oil seller Horny Codbrother (sorry "Rand Fishkin") even more of a smug profiteering b&st&rd than he is already.

No offense, but why would they even consider doing something THAT retarded? Surely a multi-billion global company like Google can come up with better metrics of their own, don't you think?

So then whats the deal with the sites I see ranking 1st, 2nd or 3rd in competitive niches with a PA/DA of 1, and 0 backlinks; when the site is 7 months old?

Redirects I imagine. 301 redirects are back with a vengeance as Google's war on white hat sites continues.

I was under the impression that 301's pass DA/PA when the next monthly MOZ update rolls around.

PA/DA is a 3rd party metric and has pretty much zero to do with how Google ranks sites. They're merely an indication of the amount of backlinks pointing to a site, which is only a one piece of the puzzle.
