Is someone able to say whether it is Domain Authority or MozRank that is more equivalent to PageRank?
Also, what does it mean if a site's MozTrust is a good bit higher than its MozRank? Does this suggest that the site is in a general sense getting more links from highly trusted URLs than it is from moderately trust URLs? Which helps more in ranking, MozTrust or MozRank? Is MozTrust particularly important when trying to rank for highly competitive keywords?
I am grateful for any help that anyone can offer.

1. Domain Authority- this is kind of like SEOmoz's version of pagerank, only on a 100 point scale instead of 10. The more links you have to all the pages of your domain, the higher it's authority. The more links you get from other authorities, the higher your authority.
2. Mozrank is here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank
3. Ext. followed links is how many of your inbound links from external sources are followed as opposed to nofollowed.
4. Linking root domains is how many domains link to you, not how many pages or how many links, just how many different domains have at least one link to you.
5. Followed linking root domains is how many of those linking domains are following their links as opposed to nofollowing them
6. A C-block is related to server lingo. Every IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the c-block is one of those sets. So if I own two domains and have them registered and hosted together, you may have two domains linking to you, but only one c-block, as they would be on the same server c-block. So this is the important one as spammers can get 1,000 domains linking to them but get them all on the same c-block. Doesn't help much. Google knows when you just buy a bunch of domains and make them all link to you.

Acquired domains for SEO
hi there, For one of our insurance websites we acquired a domain, this domain is going to be redirected to our domain. After some research we discovered the domain we've bought also includes other domains which 301 redirect to specific 'insurance products'. These domains are also included in the deal. But what is the best technical solution for redirecting these specific redirected product domains? They already redirect to the product pages of the domain we've bought, so after redirect this domain, the sub (product) redirected domains will also link to us. It would be like this: A) www.sub-carinsurancesite.nl (301) -> www.domain-we-bought.com/car-insurance -> www.ourdomain.com/car-insurance

One-Pager and SEO
We're building a page that is going to feature over 31 people as difference makers in their field. We're unveiling one a day for an entire month. The very early mockup of the page has name, pic, some bio info, and a link to open up a new window with the full bio. I would love to have all of the bio content for all of the people on the page (and indexable), but I'm not sure how to do that while still being able to hide the full bios until they are expanded. Anybody have any tips that are SEO-friendly and/or examples of a page that is built like this and ranks well. Thanks!

.htaccess redirect question
Hi guys and girls Please forgive me for being an apache noob, but I've been trawling for a while now and i can't seem to find a definitive guide for my current scenario. I've walked into a but of a cluster$%*! of a job, to rescue a horribly set up site. One of many, many problems is that they have 132 302redirects set up. Some of these are identical pages but http-https, others are the same but https-http and some are redirects to different content pages with http-http. A uniform redirecting of http to https is not an option so I'm looking to find out the best practice for reconfiguring these 302s to 301s within .htaccess? Thanks in advance 🙂

Schema Address Question
I have a local business with a contact page that I want to add schema markup to. However, I was wondering if having the address with schema info on the contact page instead of the home page has any adverse effects on the rich snippet showing up in search. There's no logical place to add schema for a local business on the home page, so having it on the contact page—not in the footer or sidebar—is the only option.

How to start more deep seo.
Okay, lets say that I already fixed all my technical seo stuff. All my crawl errors and warnings are gone. Now I really want to start seo so I have a few questions. 1. I know I should work based on a page and not on a domain, so it means I should choose which keyword to optimize each page for? only one keyword per page? or it might be more? 2. Some keywords are very competitive for me, example for my site www.theprinterdepo.com, the best keyword to rank would be printers, but it would take years a beginner to do that, what should I do? 3. If highly competitive keywords are not an option, which keywords shuold I use? the ones that have more global monthly searches? Thanks

Video question
If another company hosts our videos, but they are only found embedded on our site, do we get all of the SEO benefits from the video, or would we have to host it for that to happen?
