Who is gonna rank better in this case?
-
site:a has 1500 linking domains and 20000 backlinks
site:b has 1500 linking domains and 5000 backlinks
does good ratio between linking domains and backlinks works?
i am asking only in terms of backlink profile, i know there are more things than backlink.

I say having quality backlink with having high DA PA website with your niche will definitely rank your website 2-3 month. Quantity doesn't matter in backlink but quality matter it.
Thanks & regard

Assuming everything else stays the same, I'd say more backlinks means better ranks. I'll be curious to know if that is not true.

I say site with 20000 backlinks will rank better.

Is image SEO worth it for e-commerce?
I have been trying to find any case studies of people who have optimized images for SEO for their e-commerce website, but haven't been able to find any case study, indicating obtained results. I am wondering how much increase in Google Image search traffic others have been able to obtain when optimizing their e-commerce images for image SEO. I need this information to justify development resources needed for for example an image sitemap, changes to file names and alt texts, title tags and possibly EXIF data. File size is already ok. Hope someone has experience with this and can share some results. Also, would be great if Moz would do a Whiteboard Friday about this 🙂 (hint!).

Domain and Sub-Domain Question
Hi, My company owns the domains www.NYSTATEMLS.COM and www.MYSTATEMLS.COM both of these sites are already on there way with a lot going on. I did just review video 5 on technical SEO and Rand was talking about how much harder it is to rank two websites. So i'm wondering what could be done in this area? Should something be done? The website nystatemls.com is necessary because it's dedicated to the state of new york & has been around for a long time. mystatemls.com came later because the business grew and we opened up to the national market. Looking for some insight. Thanks so much, Chris Farcher

Internal linking: Global Nav Bar obscuring link authority?
I was watching Rand's whiteboard on how links in the headers/footers can impact SEO: moz.com/blog/links-headers-footers-navigation-impact-seo If I understood correctly: 1) Google will use the first link in the html that it sees for a given page. Additional links will not be considered for passing weight. 2) Text links in body (carry more weight than) > image links > nav links > footer links If we want to use a global nav bar, is there a simple solution for not obscuring the links in the body content? (It seems very awkward to load the header nav last (and bring it up via css after the page loads), and this also goes against Google wanting people to load above-the-fold content quickly.) If I internally link to a page that was not important enough to get a spot in the global nav, but I include this link in the body as a text link (for example, an accessory specific to that item), is this internal link really getting more weight in Google's eyes because it wasn't in the nav? This seems strange to me. Thanks!

Should this site be using Rel=Canonical VS No Index
I'm currently working on this site https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation I've been watching this video by Rand - https://moz.com/blog/rel-canonical but it's still unclear in this scenario. if you use the search facility "check availability" half way down the page the results page (urlparams) are no indexed. Would it be better to index and canonicalise? There is no similar content but I'm concerned that no index will remove the ability for semantic content to be visible to google. LADkajY

Comprehensive content and ranking
Hello, I was watching a whiteboard friday saying the more comprehensive your content is the better you will rank,.. but I don't entirely agree with that because to me it means that in order to beat your competitor you need to write more than they do (or answer questions that people are asking typing this query), that doesn't sound right, does it ? For example it means that for a query like "Italy bike tours" if you have on your page just the name of the different destinations your offer and your competitor has more destinations + the price of the trip listed and the level or each trip, he will rank in front of you ? I have a major doubt on that but maybe I am wrong... My guess is that in an imaginary world where your page has the the same exact PR as your competitor if you are more comprehensive you will rank higher but only is that case, isn't it ? Thank you,

How to give a better user experience and bring unique value
Hello everyone, I have between reading a lot, watching a lot of video from Rand also been trying many things in terms of SEO over the last 10 years. I am starting to come to the conclusion that the number one solution to rank is to satisfy the user and give the user an amazing experience.But what does amazing user experience and unique value really mean ? I can’t seem to get a straight answer or example. I am in the travel industry and I sell bicycle tours. I have tried to write amazing content but I guess I am like 99 % of us on the planet I don’t know how to write … 🙂 It never changed my ranking whatever I wrote. I tried to talk to the visitors like google mentioned and not about the features of my product, get a unique selling proposition etc… but so far nothing worked… ( I am currently doing one test and waiting to see if anything changes but so far the content has been indexed quickly with the webmaster tools and no changes after 2 weeks ? Is there a a longer delay once indexed, I don’t know maybe someone can shed some light on that ? I don’t believe so but maybe I am wrong. Getting back to user experience. From what I understand it needs to answer the questions people have in a unique way. Let’s take the bicycle tours for example. I you type bike tours all my competitors already do what I want to do, which means they present either all their tours on the page or have you select a tour by level, by country, by region, by type, by price, by date etc… How I can beat them and do better than them, that is what I don’t understand ? I feel like there only a limited number of ways to present a product ? I conclusion, how can I bring more value to my user, if I have them search a bike tour by level or country, I have the same thing as my competitors I don’t bring more value do I ? or does bringing value means designing it in a different way ? If so unless you have a team of graphic designers how can you do that (is the color of a button, the shape of it, the images you have ,the size of your font going to make google tick ? or is it adding information ( to me this 2 nd option not a solution because that means to rank in the future you will need to add more info that your competitors ) ? If anyone could give me some advice or examples on how they do it that would be great because as off today, the user experience thing and unique value is not clear.
