How do you build domain trust and authority ?
-
I am doing some link building and was hoping to get some clear information about the quality of the links and what I need to build a higher domain trust and authority.
My sites page I wish to build for has: DA 22 PA 33 MR 4.6
I am looking at back links with these figures
Considering outbound links are equal, which pages can help build my page ?
page1 DA 66 PA 48 MR 4.8
page2 DA 66 PA 35 MR 3.75
page 3 DA 66 PA 28 MR 3.5
page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 2.73
Page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 1.87
Do I need back links with a Domain Authority Higher than my own ?
PA higher than my own ?
or MR higher than my own ?
or would any of these pages be able to improve my own ?
Thank you in advance for helping with this as I do not want to spend 6 months building the wrong links.

Hi Joseph,
From a purely numbers point of view, all of this links could help your site's metrics, but I think we're missing the larger picture.
Before we talk about that though, here's a couple of pointers:
- don't forget about MozTrust in your metrics, especially dealing with directory sites. Sites with high MozRank and low MozTrust should be avoided
- Also when dealing with directories, this is one of the few times that looking at PageRank is actually useful. A big difference between MR/DA and toolbar PageRank is a big warning sign that the directory might have been penalized
What's more important is probably the relevancy of the page. This is even more important than the metrics. A link from a relevant high trusted domain, even if it has almost zero MozRank, is better than an off topic link in the footer of page with great MozRank (some exceptions apply)
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

DA and PA are calculated by links and quality of the links.
And the trust ranking is based on the above along with the age of the domain.
Honestly, if you are doing these just for higher DA and PA, it won't do you too good. Quality links are really what gets business. If I get 1,000 links from toilet blogs and I sell TVs, their links won't mean a thing to me because no one will click those links.

Well,
I would like a general answer about the DA, PA and MR for sure.
However these particular pages are from directories listed here on SEOMOZ's list of directories worth exploring.
All would be links in a category for my site.
There are both free listings
and a fee to review the listing option. ( considered a paid link ?)
-
Are the sites relevant to your site? Will they be useful to the users of the other site? Are these links paid?

International Domains for SEO
My company is international and we have websites for each country with Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD). I am in the US and I am seeing that other countries such as Costa Rica and Germany are ranking above us in search results. I thought Google automatically geo-targeted users by default and therefore I should only get .com or US results. Any idea why other countries would rank above our site?

Client wants a seperate .tv domain for their media/videos instead of a subdomain/subfolder. What is the best way to pass of link equity to a new domain?
We have a client that wants to place their video content on a .tv tld instead of a subfolder/subdomain in their .com website. They believe that the .tv domain will better represent the media experience of their business. We can understand this client's position however we are concerned about their .tv domain will lose out on the link equity if it were no longer placed in the .com's subdomain/subfolder. Here are our questions: 1. What would be the best way to pass of link equity from .com website to a new .tv domain? Should we just have a video link on the .com website that 301 directs to the new .tv domain? 2. Is there any SEO benefit of having a .tv domain for Google Video queries or even Youtube? 3. Is there any long term value of having two different websites? For link equity purposes we understand that it would be better if everything was in a .com. However is a .tv domain ideal for a better representation of their media content? We appreciate any feedback.

Should I buy a .co domain if my preferred .com and .co.uk domain are taken by other companies?
I'm looking to boost my website ranking and drive more traffic to it using a keyword rich domain name. I want to have my nearest city followed by the keyword "seo" in the domain name but the .co.uk and .com have already been taken. Should I take the plunge and buy .co at a higher price? What options do I have? Also whilst we're on domains and URL's is it best to separate keywords in url's with a (_) or a (-)? Many thanks for any help with this matter. Alex

Large Scale Domain Forwarding
I recently purchased a domain from a domainer who owns and parks many, many exact match domains in my niche. He gets a lot of type in traffic via these domains and is willing to forward them to my domain to help get my site started with traffic. We were planning on forwarding a few dozen domains at the most. I'd like to make sure I'm not raising any red flags with google for forwarding so many domains to a new site. I found this article, which says Panda made some changes with regards to what I'm trying to do here. Not sure if they guy is right though. http://domainate.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/how-google-panda-affected-domain-forwarding-and-what-to-do-about-it/

Which domain should I use?
I own a couple domains that are specific to a product and would like to know which one folks on here recommend. Primary Google Search Term Example: "Tax Bond" Example Domain 1: www.taxbonds.net Example Domain 2: www.tax-bond.net I've done research on here before and have come to the conclusion that hyphenated domains aren't bad (no more than 2 hyphens though). So, do I go for the EXACT search term with the hyphen or do I go for the pluralized search term without the hyphen, even though most people will not add the "s" in the Google search? Thanks, Alex
