How do you build domain trust and authority ?
-
I am doing some link building and was hoping to get some clear information about the quality of the links and what I need to build a higher domain trust and authority.
My sites page I wish to build for has: DA 22 PA 33 MR 4.6
I am looking at back links with these figures
Considering outbound links are equal, which pages can help build my page ?
page1 DA 66 PA 48 MR 4.8
page2 DA 66 PA 35 MR 3.75
page 3 DA 66 PA 28 MR 3.5
page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 2.73
Page 4 DA 41 PA 18 MR 1.87
Do I need back links with a Domain Authority Higher than my own ?
PA higher than my own ?
or MR higher than my own ?
or would any of these pages be able to improve my own ?
Thank you in advance for helping with this as I do not want to spend 6 months building the wrong links.

Hi Joseph,
From a purely numbers point of view, all of this links could help your site's metrics, but I think we're missing the larger picture.
Before we talk about that though, here's a couple of pointers:
- don't forget about MozTrust in your metrics, especially dealing with directory sites. Sites with high MozRank and low MozTrust should be avoided
- Also when dealing with directories, this is one of the few times that looking at PageRank is actually useful. A big difference between MR/DA and toolbar PageRank is a big warning sign that the directory might have been penalized
What's more important is probably the relevancy of the page. This is even more important than the metrics. A link from a relevant high trusted domain, even if it has almost zero MozRank, is better than an off topic link in the footer of page with great MozRank (some exceptions apply)
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

DA and PA are calculated by links and quality of the links.
And the trust ranking is based on the above along with the age of the domain.
Honestly, if you are doing these just for higher DA and PA, it won't do you too good. Quality links are really what gets business. If I get 1,000 links from toilet blogs and I sell TVs, their links won't mean a thing to me because no one will click those links.

Well,
I would like a general answer about the DA, PA and MR for sure.
However these particular pages are from directories listed here on SEOMOZ's list of directories worth exploring.
All would be links in a category for my site.
There are both free listings
and a fee to review the listing option. ( considered a paid link ?)
-
Are the sites relevant to your site? Will they be useful to the users of the other site? Are these links paid?

Why some domains and sub-domains have same DA, but some others don't?
Hi I noticed for some blog providers in my country, which provide a sub-domian address for their blogs. the sub-domain authority is exactly as the main domain. Whereas, for some other blog providers every subdomain has its different and lower authority. for example "ffff.blog.ir" and "blog.ir" both have domain authority of 60. It noteworthy to mention that the "ffff.blog.ir" does not even exist! This is while mihanblog.com and hfilm.mihanblog.com has diffrent page authority.

What is best practice SEO approach to re structuring a website with multiple domains and associated search engine rankings for each domain?
Hello Mozzers, I'm trying to improve and establish rankings for my website which has never really been optimised. I've inherited what seems to be a mess and have a challenge for you! The website currently has 3 different www domains all pointing to the one website, two are .com domains and one is a .com.au - the business is located in Australia and the website is primarily targeting Australian traffic. In addition to this there are a number of other non www domains for the same addresses pointing to the website in the CMS which is Adobe Business Catalyst. When I check Google each of the www domains for the website has the following number of pages indexed: www.Domain1,com 5,190 pages
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | JimmyFlorida
www.Domain2.com 1,520 pages
www,Domain3.com.au 149 pages What is best practice approach from an SEO perspective to re organising this current domain structure? 1. Do I need to use the .com.au as the primary domain given that we are in this market and targeting traffic here? Thats what I have been advised and it seems to be backed up by what I have read here. 2. Do we re direct all domains to the primary .com.au domain? This is easily done in the Adobe Business Catalyst CMS however is this the same as a 301 redirect which is the best approach from an SEO perspective? 3. How do we consolidate all of the current separate domain rankings for the 3 different domains into the one domain rankings within Google to ensure improved rankings and a best practice approach? The website is currently receiving very little organic search traffic so if its simpler and faster to start again fresh rather than go through a complicated migration or re structure and you have a suggestion here please feel free to let me know your ideas! Thank you!0 -
Should I Roll Back Domain Change?
A couple years ago I changed domain names and switched platforms for my site. The traffic dropped dramatically (80-90%). I've tried to get inbound links changed, clean up on-page stuff, but nothing is making a big change. I think most of the problem is loss of link juice with the 301 redirects from the old domain to the new one. Would I be risking bigger losses by switching back to the old domain name?

Sub Domain or New Domain?
Hi All, We have a client that has a business with three different services. 2 of these services compliment each other in a really obvious way, but the 3rd, while related is not such a obvious complimentary service. For this reason, service 3 kind of weakens the content of the website SEO wise for the two main services. Also, internally at the business it is run by an entirely different team so it feels culturally somewhat different. So, the client wants to pull all the content about service 3 and put it on a different website. Which would you chose as a domain for this new site: service3.existingdomain.co.uk or www.service3+brandname.co.uk

Is it worth buying a Dropped domain?
I've got a domain which was registered in July 2010 and had a website on it. I believe the domain expired and it was dropped for a couple of months. I snapped it up after discovering it in November 2012. Subsequently, the whois records show the domain was created in Nov 2012. What exactly is the "real" age of this domain from Google's perspective? Or at least, as far as SEO is concerned? Cheers,

Syed P.S - domain age does indeed warrant some merit in ranking factors!0 -

Domain advice needed, please
Could i get a little domain advice please. Launching a new website project and want to put it on a domain we already own (both domains are in the same niche as the larger project). The new project will be aimed at the UK market. The choice is: .co.uk we own with a good name, however it's Domain Authority rank is 7 and it's only about 8 months old. .com domain which is 6 years old, has a Domain Authority rank of 33 but is not as good a domain name. The Competitive Link Analysis tells me that the rivals for the keywords we would be targeting are between 24 and 42. Which domain would people go with? All things equal it would be a fair guess that the older, higher Domain Authority ranked .com will require less work to rank in the engines, however it's not as good brand wise. Thanks Carl
