Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The SEOMoz PRO tools provide a keyword difficulty score. How is this calculated? And is it a score for organic search competition or for PPC competition?

Thank you! Impressive.

Hmm. OSE only reports 323 external links site-wide. But I get 1620 from SEO Spyglass (which are likely to be mostly trash).

Quality over quantity - again!

And links from pages that will visited, that will get you clicks and referral traffic, are therefore likely to be the most valuable (in the real world and in the Google algorithm).

Thanks for your help,
Ben

Also, none of the inbound link text includes the keyphrase. All the link text is the domain name, according to OSE.

So is Google really just combining the on-page "aboutness" with the high value of the handful of inbound links, and assuming this is more about "web design" than the plethora of other sites?

(I'm not competing on this, just using it for research.)

Thanks Highland. So they've developed a couple of extensions and get a few backlinks from a DA:100 site.

If that's enough to get to #6 on Google, I wonder why it hasn't also raised the Domain Authority of plimun.com?

How on earth can http://www.plimun.com/ be at #6 for "web design", with only 15 total linking root domains, and no mention of the term in link text?!

This is one of the biggest anomalies I've ever seen.

Thanks Miriam, I don't really know what's involved in making this "legal." He'll get the mail there with or without the suite # so I don't foresee a problem with postcard re-verification. So I guess he's good to go. If he wants to get it "legal" I can recommend that. Thanks for confirming what I already thought
