Hi Boyd,
Thanks for getting back to me about this, a big help.
In the past, I have tried contacting websites that have mentioned us in their articles etc... and asked for a link back to our website in which a lot have turned around and said that they don't do that anymore, linking to websites. How can I combat this?
Regards

Domain Authority is a Moz algorithm that measures both link quantity and quality. Google's metric is PageRank. Since Google doesn't show us the PageRank of our pages, metrics like DA can be used as guidelines but you need to know that it is not used by Google. (Read the third paragraph of this recent Whitboard Friday: https://mza.bundledseo.com/blog/seo-processes-easier-increased-pagerank-domain-authority)
But the way you improve your DA or your PageRank is by increasing both the quantity and quality of the links pointing to as many pages of your site as possible. And then you can also use internal links to pass that authority around your website.

Multiple domains for the same business
My client purchased over 500 URLs for targeting various customers and ranking for different keywords. It is for the same business though. What is the best strategy to deal with this kind of approach in your opinion. They use different meta data for each of the URLs starting with brand name in meta title. Are there any other points to keep in mind when developing strategy for all those URLs. Is this a good approach?

How can i make my sub-domain bring in more traffic?
we have a social networking site that has user-generated content and users have to log in before they can access the platform. We are in the process of creating indexable pages that google bots can pick up. These pages will sit in front of the log in pages and will be open for guest access. Can you advise on the best way of optimising these pages for higher ranking and traffic.

Does Google still see masked domains as duplicate content?
Older reads state the domain forwarding or masking will create duplicate content but Google has evolved quite a bit and I'm wondering if that is still the case? Not suggesting that a 301 is not the proper way to redirect something but my question is: Does Google still see masked domains as duplicate content? Is there any viable use for domain masking other than for affiliates?
