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.

Ajax, SEO and Angular
Hi all! We have a platform which includes a housing area which is created by ajax and angular. You can see a sample here:
Technical SEO | | Eurasmus.com
eurasmus.com/en/erasmus-antwerp/student-room-accommodation It has a static version under which shows the first 18 rooms, the rest are generated by angular.
Also this static version has a dynamic text with around 400 characters. Is this the right procedure?
How would you suggest to do it?0 -
URL redirect question
Hi all, Just wondering whether anybody has experience of CMSs that do a double redirect and what affect that has on rankings. here's the example /page.htm is 301 redirected to /page.html which is 301 redirected to /page As Google has stated that 301 redirects pass on benefits to the new page, would a double redirect do the same? Looking forward to hearing your views.

SEO friendly url strategy...
Hi guys i just wanted your expert opinion on keywords in urls. The example i'm giving you is in regards to a ecommerce website: Option 1: www.example.com/shop/coffee/coffee-beans/brand-coffee-beans-500gr Option 2: www.example.com/shop/coffee/beans/brand-coffee-beans-500gr We sell coffee so i'll keep the example relevant 🙂 Does it make a difference on how the keywords are stacked throughout? Would the search engine combine the two keywords eg. .../coffee/beans/... or would i be better of having .../coffee/coffee-beans/... and is there a penalty for having the same phrase more than once in the url? I hope my question makes sense... 😉 Looking forward to your opinions and ideas!

Duplicate Content Question
Just signed up for pro and did my first diagnostic check - I came back with something like 300 duplicate content errors which suprised me because every page is unique. Turns out my pages are listed as www.sportstvjobs.com and just sportstvjobs.com does that really count as duplicate? and if so does anyone know what I should be doing differently? I thought it was just a canonical issue, but best I can tell I have the canonical in there but this still came up as a duplicate error....maybe I did canonical wrong, or its some other issue? Thanks Brian Clapp
