Fundamental things to concentrate on for Domain Authority
-
I'm looking for the fundamental things to concentrate on when trying to improve my Domain Authority as it is's poor for my area and I want our business to compete with other businesses in our county.
We're an automotive company www.chorleygroup.co.uk - we need to compete with other automotive companies in our areas.

Hi Boyd,
Thanks for getting back to me about this, a big help.
In the past, I have tried contacting websites that have mentioned us in their articles etc... and asked for a link back to our website in which a lot have turned around and said that they don't do that anymore, linking to websites. How can I combat this?
Regards

Domain Authority is a Moz algorithm that measures both link quantity and quality. Google's metric is PageRank. Since Google doesn't show us the PageRank of our pages, metrics like DA can be used as guidelines but you need to know that it is not used by Google. (Read the third paragraph of this recent Whitboard Friday: https://moz.com/blog/seo-processes-easier-increased-pagerank-domain-authority)
But the way you improve your DA or your PageRank is by increasing both the quantity and quality of the links pointing to as many pages of your site as possible. And then you can also use internal links to pass that authority around your website.

Existing good authority LP with multiple keywords, how to optimize for these keywords?
Hi Mozzers, Currently I am optimizing ONpage after I made a report for which keywords the website already ranks in the serps. I was surprised about the numbers of keywords the website ranks in Google. The website ranks for multiple keywords in 1 landing page. They get a lot of traffic, but has a position #5 or #7/#8, onpage grade is for most of the keywords a C or D and lots of them a F, so it's worth to optimize it. How should I do that when the landing page is domain.com/category and the 5 different keywords are partofcategoryname. Should I put all these keywords in the title and landing page body content as the onpage tool recommend me that? I was thinking about the option I described above OR to create a new landing page for the specific keyword each. However, the already ranked landing page has a PA of 38. When starting to build new landing pages is starting to build from PA 0. Anyway, it's definitely I chance to do onpage, I just don't know what I should do since there are 5 different keywords that already ranks for the landing page with good traffic. I want to let it rise in the serps to increase the traffic of course. Looking forward to recommendations! thanks in advance

Link Juice not passing for root domain to an internal page
Hi Im working in a SEO proyect for the web fagorarrasate.com, it has good root domain ranking, but it seems like the root domain isn't passing any of its link juice to other internal pages of the site although there are links which link to these sub pages For example if I seach in Google for the page http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Stamping+System+and+Presses The firs page appears without any page ranking, so it seems that the root domain is not passing any of its ranking Why could this be happening? Thanks Jordi

How to go after a domain name when the whois info is incorrect.
I found a domain that I'd really like to buy. It's currently active but has just a single image on it (that links to an affiliate product). I'd like to see if the owner would like to sell it to me. But, when I emailed the address that's listed with the whois info it bounced back. Any ideas on how else I can buy this domain?
