How to Increase the Authoritative Range of a Website
-
Hello friends
How can we increase the credibility of the site's domain to be legitimate?
How useful do you think generating content can be for a site?
You can see me at the address below. -
You are selling products where knowledge, practice and skill can improve a person's satisfaction. You need educational content and video demonstrations.
You are selling products where a complex decision is needed to make a purchase. Again you need educational content and demonstrations.
You are selling products that require some maintenance. Yes EC and VD.
A very similar business to yours is Braun. They have a great website with lots of high quality, professionally-done informative content with lots of videos. I am a customer of theirs and their website has been very helpful. I have gone there several times and will go there again in the future. Check it out. I bought their product twice because their website was so helpful.

Hi there,
It depends a lot on what you define as "credibility".
In my opinion, we shouldn't be talking about credibility, but about relevancy.
From a Google standpoint, at least what we know and what experiments have proven, these might be some key points to increase relevancy:- Create usefull and user-targeted content
- Being an expert and authority in the field. This is what's called EAT. More to know here: How to create content that Google wants - Moz
- Make sure your content is out there so other people can share and link to it.
- Keep your content updated and relevant.
- A fast and mobile-friendly website, that gives users a great experience.
As you see, it is mostly focused on users and the content you offer.
On a second level, you can influence a little bit more by getting links, but as their impact has been slowly decreasing in the last years, I'd advise against relying on links.A great place to read about more about creating a relevant website is Google's quality raters guidelines and I also found helpful the Whiteboard friday with Marie Haynes about E-A-T and the Quality Raters' Guidelines.
Hope it helps.
Best luck. -
Thanks for the guidance

Hi
I think generating content as long as you have a content strategy can greatly enhance the credibility of your site and is quite useful.
In addition, smart linking can improve the credibility of your domain.

What to do with outdated and irrelevant content on a website?
Hi everyone, On our corporate website we have a blog where we publish articles which are directly related to our company (house heating systems and gas cylinders) and some articles which are completely irrelevant to our core business, but which might be of interest to our potential clients. Recently I've been told that it is not a good idea to include these not directly related posts to our core business, because Google might be somewhat confused at to what our core business is all about. I was advised to research this topic and think of completely removing blog posts that are irrelevant to our core business from our blog. By removing I mean completely removing pages and setting a 410 status to tell Google that it is not a 404 error but that these pages were intentionally removed. I would like to hear some independent advice from Moz community as to what I should do? Thank you very much in advance.

Breaking a Big Website into Multiple Unrelated Sites
I have a big cluttered website that I want to simplify. There is content for patients, researchers, therapists who are looking for grants, etc.. Would it be a bad ideas to turn these into 3 or more, completely different sites with each focused on their specific demographic? Or should I just figure out how to organize the one site better? Thanks for your help!!!

Does it do any damage to post my blogs for marketing community websites on my own website too?
I'm blogging quite often for one of the biggest marketing community's in the Netherlands and I want to post these blogs on our own company's weblog too. Our own blog is meant for sharing professional know how and boosting our identity as professional web agency. But off course, we also benefit from it SEO wise. If I post these blogs on our own weblog, I have to add a link to the original article on the marketing community website. So, my question is: will that cause any damage for our own website?

What qualifies as a authoritative domain?
As SEOMOZ ranks Authority through percentage, at what percentage does a domain become authoritative? I'm looking for guest blogs/websites, which have a authoritative root domain to try and help increase our own auth and in turn rankings. So far I have found a few guest blogs, which have around 40-50% but I kind of think I need to find ones which are more like 70-80% for this to really work. Cheers

What Website Visual Structure Software Do You Use?
I need to continually create website trees for our group of websites. I was wondering what software you guys use to create site structure/trees? I've used Powerpoint, Giffy and other diagram software but ideally I want to find something that crawls my site and spits out a diagram and also gives me the option to add none existing trees so I can show new purposed sections. Cheers, Gary
