I take all aspects and changes to our sites very seriously, especially the Title tags & page content. I too adopted a Moz campaign and recently revamped our keywords to better target our product pages SEO. Analyze a Keyword is one of my favorite Moz tools. We have seen measurable improvements since that major update.

How Long to take effect? That depends on numerous variables; DA, Traffic, Links, Outside Advertising, etc... when I want faster results, I submit the updated page for indexing through Webmaster Tools.

Hope this helps

Laura is right "they are sacrificing increased sales and UX to aesthetics" Customers that want "Pretty" over Marketable are impossible to please. IF you are somehow able to accomplish this task, that customer will expect you to deliver on every unimaginable request.

I have left campaigns do to this refusal to "bend" for reasonable results.

Hi A_Q

I always considered all PR sites as "nofollow" links, I still use them but don't see most of them when I check our inbound links, except for the association groups we pay to be in, but I don't see them as PR sites, more industry news.

Thank you, I'm off to build a spreadsheet of my competitors PA/DA scores

Rand,

Thank you for addressing the fluctuating DA/PA, to be clear: I have been disavowing bad links for 3 months using Marie Haynes post as a guide: https://moz.com/blog/guide-to-googles-disavow-tool.  I have disavowed 88 bad links during that period which I personally investigated and our DA dropped 6 points (31-25) with this last index.

Am I to understand that was because:

1. The index is reading from as far back as 90 days
2. We are in the 10-40 range and small link changes affect us more.

PS: I have been "cleaning up" the SEO using the Moz guidelines and adding quality unique content (products pages & blog posts)

Thanks,
Joe
