Video: Russ Jones from Moz on Domain Authority & the community reaction

We had fun chatting about what is going on at Moz with Russ Jones, the principal search scientist at Moz.

Chat with SearchBot

Earlier this year, Moz upgraded its domain authority metric. Search Engine Land’s Greg Sterling had a conversation with Russ Jones, the principal search scientist at Moz, at the time about how SEOs should use the metric. Russ still spends part of his day trying to reduce confusion about Domain Authority (DA) and link builders trying to sell based on the score.

I had the opportunity to talk to Russ Jones on video about the topic of Domain Authority. We first talked about his role in the company and then moved into the DA topic. We also touched on a new product the company launched named Local Market Analytics.

The interview was fun and honest and we think you will enjoy it:
