Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Lets say I have a PA 50 website, and I just got a PA 60 link from another site. Is there any way to project, mathematically, what that new link will do to my page's authority?

Would the formula look something like this?

New PA = Current Page PA + ((New Link PA*dampening factor)/Total number of links on new page)

In the absence of a mathematical model to predict shifts in PA, how can you be confident that a specific action will help you progress towards an authority objective?

Hey Andrea - Not using a rank tracker, I am checking the SERPs by hand

Hey Jeffrey - whats's the example you're looking at? I would love to see it

Have a bit of a quandary; I am working with a site that ranks fourth for their main term via a Google Places listing.

However, I can't seem to find a traditional organic listing to save my life.The only way I can do it is to search from a mobile device, or expand the search results to 100 listings. When I do that, the site appears in the top 10 organic listings.

That got me to wondering, is it possible this client's traditional organic listing is being cannabalized by their listing in Google Places?

Have you used Aaron Wall's SEOBook rank checker? Would that do the trick?

Hi There-

I am looking to optimize sites serving the UK and Austrailia markets. I feel like I have a good handle on how to go about doing that, but what I am fuzzy on is, what's the best way to monitor the SERPs for the keywords I am targeting.

I know based on experience that if I just search google.com.au from here in the states, my results will be 'americanized' and may/probably won't accurately reflect what someone would see if they were search from Austrailia.

Are there any good tools or tactics for seeing what searchers in the countries I am focusing on woudl see?

Thanks!

Jason
