I am so unbelievably excited about this new DA algorithm! DA is used constantly in our never ending SEO practice. Would be appreciated if it updated on a consistent, anticipated basis, rather than every so often.

RE: domain authority has not changed
Domain authority is the biggest scam in SEO. But unfortunately, I love to watch it increase.

RE: How many SEO clients do you handle?
50-60 SEO clients is a healthy amount. But of those 50-60, how many are full SEO campaigns? In the SEO world, there are multiple levels of "SEO"...from Google My Business management to heavy link building. In my opinion, you can effectively handle 50-60 SEO clients, but it depends on the package they are signed up for.
Link Building, Google My Business Optimization, Directory Listing, Citation Listings, Guest Blogging, On Page Optimization, on page content, blogging, internal link errors. If you are implementing a full SEO campaign and not delivering, ultimately, you will only frustrate your client and lose them.
Organizing your time and communicating in a transparent manner are the most important factors when running an SEO business. Besides knowing how to implement SEO of course.

RE: Why Only Our Homepage Can Be Crawled Showing a Redirect Message as the Meta Title
1- This may be accredited to your CMS and the database structure it relies on to function.
2- Ask your website host for support regarding this issue. Some issues like this are server level and cannot be corrected at the client level.
3- I would look into webmaster tools to make sure the sitemap is submitted properly and redirects are at a minimum. Also, conduct a few fetch as googlebot tactics.

RE: Are we actually getting accurate data on keyword volumes from Moz (or other sources)?
Something that has tricked me up a few times in the past is the difference between broad and exact search volume. Every time you compare MOZ keyword volume to Google, just know there is a slight +/- in volume. Plus, its never an exact science, rather than an estimation based on historical data from Google...and subsequently, MOZ.
If ever in doubt, I would utilize Google's data over any other source of data.

RE: Moving established :COM site to a .ART domain
Make sure you consider the following when moving domains:
- Domain Ages - the older the better
- Domain Authority - Which has a higher authority, keep that one.
- SPAM score
- Root Domain Links/Overall Links
This are my top 4 when dealing with domains. Yes, having a keyword in the domain is beneficial, but it wont out-weigh the benefits if we are 0/4 on the above list.

RE: Is it Okay to have "No Response" pages?
Yes, definitely fix this issue, as sooner or later Google will see that your website speed is experiencing errors. I would check with your website host for speed, optimization and reliability.

RE: Forwarding a .org domain to a .com domain: any negative impact to consider?
From my experience, it is very difficult / cannot forward a HTTP version to a HTTPS version.
I may have to defer to another SEO Pro about forwarding a lower DA to a higher. My educated guess...it doesnt matter. In Google's eyes its not technically considered a link.
It always amuses me when clients purchase multiple domains and want to forward them with dreams of larger traffic funnels. If a branded URL search isnt happening, traffic wont either. For brand protection, absolutely valuable. But when clients want to dominate the internet, this tactic is a pipe dream.

RE: Domain Masking SEO Impact
Depends on the CMS you use. Many CMS's can click a quick button to not index in Google search.
If that isnt an option, do it through a robots.txt file in webmaster tools.
