Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Egol - Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Rob - I thought the idea was to share good information.

EGOL very much appreciated your last comment I believe that good engaging unqiue content is best and that the metrics are a gauge.

The link metrics will improve because of good content and some regular work looking for the right links.

Do I assume that Damain authority and Mozrank improve because of good content or age of domain.

I keep coming back to metrics because I want to understand what makes them tick.

However your recent answer is in my opinion the right way forward for any website.  Assuming all of the onpage errors and notices are corrected.

As explained in the opening discussion I am adding regular unquie content to improve the user experiance.  Over time this will make the website an authority on the products we sell.

Note the word sell.  I am fed up with paying Google for adwords traffic and currently this new website is enjoying a good position.  Of course improving the position even by one place is atractive.

Your comment saying SEOMOZ metrics are not of any interest if this is so why are they here and why are you paying to be a member.

Help me out i don't understand why you knock the system you subscribe to.

SEOMOZ metrics do measure the position in search engines the websites that enjoy a better position than yours have a better set of metrics.

My question still stands  does anyone have any idea how to improve the metrics even if generally it is through content I would just like some direction where to start.

I want the same as everyone else the best position in Google.

My campaign is set up as sub-domain.

I am trying to get an understanding of what make the improvements to the following.

What are the most important metrics and if I can work to improve them what makes those improvements.  Currently I have a good position in Google for my most productive phrase but feel I need to make improvements to ensure I keep that position.  I am adding regular unique content and looking for relavant quality links but it does not seem to be making much difference to the metrics below.

Domain Authority 16 Domain MozRank 2.83 Domain MozTrust 0.86 External Followed Links 16 Total External Links 55 Total Links 668 Followed Linking Root Domains 8 Total Linking Root Domains 9 Linking C-Blocks 3

Subdomain MozRank 2.95 Subdomain MozTrust 1.73 External Followed Links 15 Total External Links 54 Total Links 667 Followed Linking Root Domains 8 Total Linking Root Domains 9

Which are the important metrics and can I improve my site to increase my Moz position therfore improving Google results

When I set the campaigns up I used the sub domains now I question should I have used the root domain.  Which is best sub or root.
