Should I change a domain name with a good score for a newly registered one
-
Hi
I have inherited a website http://www.hanmersprings.net.nz/ Domain sore 17
The website promotes Rippinvale so I want to register a domain rippinvale.com and direct the old domain to the new one.
Is this the best way to do this to maximise the link authority?

You have to understand your audience requirements and then plan to write articles in your blog in such a way that your articles solve the purpose of your customer. Always remember "Content is the king".
You can get DA 25 plus without even earning backlinks, just write high-quality original content in your blog. (Disable right click throughout the site to prevent plagiarism)
At the initial stage, keep your topic very narrow. Getting DA does not solve our purpose. The articles should do sales for you which should be your ultimate goal. Have promotional banners within articles to take the user to our plans page and then aim for conversion. (This varies as per your business niche)

What's the easy way to get to 25DA quickly?
-
It might work. Purchasing expired or old domains and redirecting them to build your link equity. This is a completely different scenario. However, if you look spammy and are doing this with a ton of old, expired domains, you are going to get nailed.
Secondly, earning 17 domain authority is not a difficult task. You can develop your new site easily till 20-25 DA. Growing above 25 DA requires more commitment.

SEO for a Product Domain
Hello there, I wanted to thank you all in advance, you have been very helpful with your insights so far. One of our clients is starting a new domain for a specific product he has. The client is providing his products in canada/usa. (For exemple, let's stay "nike.com"(company) just launched "jordan.com"(line of product) and wanted to rank "jordan.com" higher. I was thinking about starting with citations for the new domain/product. The thing is, since its a product, it feels wierd to do citations as usual and start a GMB account. In your opinion, what is the best way to start SEO with a product specific domain? Is citation or GMB still a good idea?

Finding a good guest posting service
I'm looking for any recommendations for a high-quality guest posting service that isn't posting to placing articles on their own network of websites, but instead has relationships with blog owners who will take good quality guest posts. And I'm willing to pay up for high-quality sites. Thanks for any suggestions, including suggestions on how to find these services if you don't want to say any names.

Reposting my articles on other blogs - good or bad?
Hi there! Our blog is full of really good articles on consumer finance topics. Recently we established contact with some local media and even government agencies who said they will be happy to repost our articles on their sites. Question: is it ok to repost our articles as they are and link back to us, or shall we rewrite them to make them 100% original? The media doesn't insist on original content, but I'd like to get SEO benefit from it (the sites are really good). If original content gives us more SEO value, we're happy to do it Please advise. P.S. Using rel=canonicals is not an option (it's government websites and some old school media - they are very not tech savvy).

Is there a way to easily add "domain:" in front of an entire list of domains you want to disavow?
I'm submitting some disavow reports for clients. As most of you likely know you can either disavow a URL or a domain. So, to disavow a url, you would enter into the text file: http://www.example.com/this_page.html and to disavow the entire domain you would enter: domain:example.com I find that in most cases you would want to disavow the domain. For example, if there is a backlink on www.exampledirectory.com/health/page24/, by the time Google goes to disavow that link it may be on page 25. However, it is super time consuming to take my list of urls from a spreadsheet and type, "domain:" in front and also remove the http://www. Is there a way this can be done programatically?
