Unsolved How much influence does Domain Authority have on the terms I can rank for?
-
I've been performing keyword research and have discovered a few beauties. My site now has a domain authority of 18, up from 12, which is fantastic to see. However, I was wondering if, with a domain authority of 18, I could compete with keywords with a difficulty of 50-60?

Hello @Jsuaii234
The keywords difficulty is matter when you selecting the keywords but it's no relation with the domain authority. you can choose 40, 50 and 60 above difficulty keywords but i should keep in mind content strategy when you preparing a page for high difficulties keywords.
You should have a strong SEO strategy for high difficulties keywords.
If you don't have idea about SEO strategies you should hire and experience SEO Company.

@Jsuaii234 Affrade to say I don't think it will make much difference, probably need to look at a difficulty of 20 max, it does depend on the DA of your ranking competitors.

Unsolved Website with no backlinks and a DA of 1 ranks first. Why?
https://www.realestatephotos.melbourne does not have any backlinks and has a DA of 1.
Keyword Explorer | | garrypat
This site ranks first for keywords - real estate photography melbourne and property photography melbourne.
Not sure why.
URL contains keywords and site is ok. But other sites with many links and higher DA rank lower. Why? Garry1 -
Redirection of 100 domain to Main domain affects SEO?
Hi guys, An email software vendor managed by a different area of my company redirected 100 domains used for unsolicited email campaigns to my main domain. These domains are very likely to get blacklisted at some point. My SEO tool now is showing me all those domains as "linking" to my main site as do-follow links. The vendor states that this will not affect my main domain/website in any way. I'm highly concerned. I would appreciate your professional opinion about this. Thanks!!

Should I switch back to my old domain?
I'm looking for some advice on switching domains for my survey/giveaway website.
SEO Tactics | | courtney.lou
I purchased a website that gets around 1,500 in traffic and makes a few hundred in Adsense. The previous owner had rebranded the site and changed the domain which ended up hurting his SEO and traffic. Before that it was getting 10,000 in traffic on the old domain.
It's been a few years since the rebrand but the original domain still holds a lot of authority and got way more traffic. Should I consider switching the website back to the original domain to try to improve rankings again or should I just focus on the new domain?
The website now is snipon.com and the previous domain name was surveyh.com
I'm wondering if switching back to the original domain will still be beneficial or if it will just mess up what's happening now on the rebranded site.0 -
Domain forwarding or 301 redirects?
I have two domains and one of them is being phased out. Currently, there are some 301 redirects in place for the main pages but I was wondering if it would be better / easier to just set up domain forwarding? I can't seem to find anywhere that tells you the "type" domain forwarding, is it 301? 302? etc. Thanks,

What is the importance of DA for traffic when launching a website?
I am working on a new content website. Before I decide of the name and buy the domain name, I wonder if it's still worth buying an expired domain name with high(ish) DA instead of starting from scratch.

Domain and urls aren't showing up in Google search
Hi, Moz community, I hope you are staying safe, I have been trying to search our website in Google by using the whole domain name, but it's not showing up. For example: https://www.example.com/
Competitive Research | | ksmith88
https://www.example.com/inner-page.html
Or if search brand name: Example, doesn't come up But when I try example.com, it comes up along with other pages. Neither the inner pages are being come up in the search nor the home page with https://www.example.com. I have checked with Site:example.com, it is showing all the pages, but it is weird on the other hand that it is not visible in the search, what could be the reason? Any tool to check it? I thought it was because of the latest core update from Google. But, there are many keywords in the rankings, so I am sure the website hasn't been impacted. I checked penalties or issues through many tools and even in the search console, everything is fine. Any help would be appreciated.1 -
Keyword Explorer for Domains shows #51+ for high Ranking Keywords
I have noticed in the past month(s) or so that when I delve into a domain to see what it ranks for, many keywords are listed as #51+ and they clearly rank high for them. Is this a bug? Or is there some other explanation? It makes it difficult to show prospects their current standings. 383540c2-352f-4aac-8c6c-e715e8b4038d-image.png
