My localized domains are not getting any love or juice it seems?
-
Not sure what best practices are, but I have my main domain, a .com and my localized domains, .com.sg and .co.id. As you can see from the screenshot from opensite explorer, i am not getting any linkjuice from my .com domain to my other local domains - what am i doing wrong here?
-
I suggest you should go with Jane's suggestion. create folders. Subdomains are actually seen as different sites. Will not carry the domain authority of the parent site.

Hi again,
This is definitely an option - you would probably be best to consider www.name.com/sg/, www.name.com/id/ instead of subfolders however, because subfolders can often be treated like separate sites, just like totally separate domains are. Subfolders tend to inherit much more of the authority of the parent site.
This is something to consider, especially if there is no good reason (like regulations in different countries or local markets with people who particularly like domains targeting them personally) for them to remain separate.

The content is actually different.
-
First question is why do have multiple domains? I assume that the content is same.
-
What about the option of merging my domains to subdomains? ie co.id becomes id.NAME.com?
Isn't this an option?
-
I will suggest to gather links from authoritive sites and also increase your width of linking domains. means you need to get good links from various types of sites related to your site's business. Increase unique linking back domain count.
Are these different domains are having same content in different languages or for different geographical audiences?

Hi Jane,
Thanks! Would you recommend that i combine all of my domains into the main .com one instead? Since it seems that google/moz is treating my localized domains as separate sites altogether, it seems that it would be wiser to just move the locality into the .com domain, ie sg.NAME.com instead of NAME.com.sg? or how about NAME.com/sg/ ? Is this a good way to do it?

Hi,
It looks like your .co.in and .com.sg domains have only two linking C-blocks, meaning that there are only two physical places (servers) on the internet that link to them. I am guessing that those two locations are your other domains.
In order for a site to accumulate authority, it needs to be linked to from a range of other websites, not just one or two. I believe this will be why Moz has calculated those domains as having very weak profiles. In contrast, 284 c-classes (unique servers, basically) are linking to your .com. I imagine these links come from a variety of sources in a variety of places and include sites owned by a very large number of different people. You need to build out the other domains' link profile as well, gaining links from a similar variety of sources. Then the sites' metrics (mozrank, moztrust etc.) will rise as well.

Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?
My domain longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data? Thanks,

Seeing steady drop in Domain Authority?
Hi! I'm working with a client that has seen a steady drop in their domain authority over the past year and a half. They were at 75 in October '13 and now they're down to 67. The drop seems rather steady over this time, no big dip. They've actually worked their crawl errors during this time and have reduced a ton of them. I can't figure out why this metric would be dropping. Anyone know of something measurable I can look at to help pinpoint the problem (and of course actions to fix it)? Thanks so much!

Getting a URL Unaccessible on the page grader
I'm optimizing a site for a financial advisor, here is the site: http://www.mattkeenancfp.com I am getting the message "that URL is unaccessible" when I try to use the on-page grader. This is an emerald website too, I'm not sure if that has any effect on anything though.

I did a redirect and now I'm getting duplication errors.
I was told by SEO Moz to do a redirect so that our website would be crawled with and without the www in front of the address. I did and now I'm getting duplicate page and title errors because the crawler is seeing www.oursitename.com and its underpages and oursitename.com and its underpages and giving me duplicate page content errors and duplicate page title errors. Makes sense, but how do I make it stop? Anyone else have this problem?
