Thanks for your response Linda.

I've refreshed many times on this and other pages of this stile but it still doesn't appear.

It's a bit worrying if the Moz bar can't see our Domain juice on these sorts of pages...

Any ideas as to what it could be?

Hello all,

This could be something to do with our site or the Moz bar on Chrome, I just need to know which it is so if it is our website we can look into it further.

On certain sections of our website the Moz bar doesn't display any Domain Authority, not even zero, the bar just isn't present. These types of pages are php which pull in data through a feed daily.

Speaking to an SEO expert they said it could be where the page is being updated so frequently, or it could be something more sinister and technically not quite right.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is the Moz bar just not working for these types os pages or is it more likely something to do with my site? Ironically it's these pages which I'm having trouble with that are not showing in SERPs!

Thanks!

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for responding.

We found it was from Miami after some digging around in Analytics and sorting by location.

No drop in traffic organically, just our usual organic combined with direct gives us a huge spike, but direct from Miami isn't much use for us!

Ok, so I've been doing some digging and I've found the cause, just not the answer.

The additional traffic came in at 9am from Miami... Our website has nothing to do with Miami and 9am would be 3am local time.

It still doesn't look like anything spammy but still, where can I go from here to find the cause of Miami traffic coming to our site?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

Apologies, here's some more info:

Our increase in traffic overall was much higher than normal, but in Analytics when we view just direct, this seems to be the cause of the additional traffic. Organic did not spike.

It is a website for a car dealership containing many brands. The website is fairly large, around 1,000 pages with another 1,000 used cars which are fed in every morning with updates (cars sold, new cars added etc).

Mondays are normally busy days as customers like to book test drives/services etc ready for the following weekend.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply Jimmy.

We didn't send any emails out on our second spike, which is why we're confused.

The landing pages don't look any different from what we'd expect day-to-day - Nothing that really stands out.

Thanks

We've been doing some SEO work over the last few weeks and earlier this week we saw a large spike in traffic. Yay we all thought, but then yesterday the traffic levels returned to pre-celebratory levels.

I've been doing some digging to try and find out what was different Monday and Tuesday this week. Mondays are usually big traffic days for us anyway, but this week was by far the biggest, and Tuesday was even higher still, our best day ever.

After some poking, I found that the direct traffic followed the same pattern as our overall traffic levels (image attached). The first spike coincides with an email we sent out that day, but the later spike we just don't know where it came from?

I understand loosely that direct isn't easily traceable, but can anyone help us understand more about this second spike?

Thanks!
