Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A simple question maybe, but how and where do we start if we want to improve our 'Domain MozRank & Moztrust', 'assuming of course that by improving both these we will improve our rankings with Google plus sales?

Hi Doug,

Thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed answer, this has help a lot.

Hi Thomas, thanks for your answer, but how do I go and change the url so it is the correct one. When I started I just loaded all my keywords with no option to chose a url for each. Many of my keywords they have used the correct url (not just my home page either). Basically, i need to be able to tell them what keywords are for what url otherwise the whole seomoz reporting card is a waste of time.

Hi Guys,

why is it that seomoz's

On Page Optimization Reports for Google TH

are attributing certain keywords with certain urls which are wrong?

What  mean is an example keyword -  'chiang mai villas for rent' has been scored an F against my home page url rather than using our 'Chiang Mai' url, why is this, is there a coding issue on my site? Is it that seomoz is finding something on my home page to suggest I want it to rank for this keyword?

Hi Nightwing,

i didn't get the answer I wanted here but here's a response i got from Cole at http://authoritylabs.com/ -

"For each country you track a keyword it counts as one unique keyword so 250 keywords across 25 countries is over 6,000 keywords and that would be on our 10k keyword plan with unlimited domains at $850/month.

We also have our Partner API which is a completely separate platform and more cost efficient for larger data sets. You can pull raw search results from our system to yours and we return the top 120 raw results in a JSON file like this for each keyword you enter https://gist.github.com/1201614.

Pricing is at $.66 per thousand keywords for data returned within 24 hours and it's $6.89 per thousand keywords for data returned within about a minute. Here are the docs for reference - http://authoritylabs.com/api/partner-api/.

Best,
Cole"

I haven't tried it yet but it looks fairly cost effective if you can wait 24 hours for your data. Hope this helps you.

Hi JJ,

most definitely you want to have hosting from UK if this is your target audience as this is going to help you in a number of ways.

First it will help with speed - faster page loads for users in UK

Help with search engine positions for Google UK - most people searching in the UK use Google UK, however not all so you still want to keep a track on Google COM too.

With regards to the second part of your question, dedicated or shared hosting. Dedicated hosting, from my understanding is really designed for large websites getting large amounts of traffic or even eCommerce sites where they're better with dedicated hosting. From my limited knowledge I think that for a -web design company' website shared hosting is ok, but see what others say first:)

I would agree with the 3 the proponents say but add 1 other and that is that seo is become more about trust/useful user friendly sites. So if you have posts on your blog which are getting comments this must be a key indicator to search engines that your content (post) is worth talking about and thus I'm sure helps with seo.

Quite possible Joost de Valk is correct that his top seo content are pages and not posts but posts are not pages they're something very different. Just my thoughts.

Hi Guys,

Using the ranking reports given here at SeoMoz I cannot select various countries as it seems to only provide US Google/Yahoo/Bing results. I need ranking reports specifically for Thailand, UK, States, Australia, India, Hong Kong. Does anyone know of any such tools? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks, this is what I would say under normal circumstances but when these websites require a feed to tell them exactly when a villa is booked or not, so as you don't get double bookings don't you think Google may consider this slightly different?

Thanks Adam for your reply,

just to give you a bit more info. We have set up an external XML feed with completely different copy to our website, but all the agents websites are having problems with this. Also it's worth noting that the copy on the XML feed is the same and given to around 15 agents websites in identical form. However these websites are not currently being penalized and often rank higher than us. I believe Google views this websites slightly differently, an example of one would be http://www.homeaway.com. If those only websites to be affected are the agents/retailers then this should already be the case as they all have the same copy on their sites. So if it's not going to harm our website I would be inclined to give them the feed straight from website, which would make our lives easier.
