How can we start to improve Domain MozRank & MozTrust for our website?
-
A simple question maybe, but how and where do we start if we want to improve our 'Domain MozRank & Moztrust', 'assuming of course that by improving both these we will improve our rankings with Google plus sales?
-
Simply put, you want to build good links from good sites. What's a good link? One that's:
- Natural (not paid or spammy)
- Editorial (placed by a human, not a content management system)
- Trusted (high MozTrust)
- Popular (high MozRank)
If you want to improve your rankings, I'd add
- Relevant (to your niche)
Check out this post on qualifying link targets: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/definitive-guide-to-qualifying-a-link-prospect-video
Ideally, while you are building natural links by building good content, you raise your Domain Authority, which is a combination of all the metrics SEOmoz measures for your domain. This is probably the most important metric you want to pay attention to. For example, a site with high MozRank but low MozTrust might be considered spammy, and not likely to rank very well in search results. But this would be reflected in the Domain Authority.
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

Sometimes it might be buying the new domain just a thought but please don't go that route is less entirely necessary.
I hope you understand that domain age and track record play a huge role in this as well. You will need to get people to link to you from hopefully authoritative websites that are relevant to your websites purpose or topic. So if I am doing a website about hedge funds I want someone like Forbes or better yet the US Federal Reserve to link to me. Remember .gov and .edu domains will boost your moths rank and trust. What I would do if you were just starting out is create very high quality content then in the beginning you will have to of course publicize this content yourself to get ball rolling. Use PRWeb or services similar and do not forget about social media along with other great ways to get many people to link to you like blogging. The more authoritative information you can place on your website that gets the people that are already considered authorities to say I agree with the guy or disagree just if they talk to you and link to you that will be a way to start off.
I hope I have been of help you.
Respectfully,
Thomas Zickell

Google mystery: Website ranks inversely proportional in 2 countries for the main keyword. Any ideas or thoughts?
Hi all, Our website ranking for mail keywords is inversely proportional in the 2 countries (US and India). I mean...if the ranking is improved in one country, it drops in other country and vice versa. The graph looks like exactly something triggered and making this happen at Google. I wonder what might be reasons for this? We have been facing this for more than a year and made number of on-site changes, so I presume if it's something to do with backlinks. Any clue or thoughts on this? Thanks

Our root domain is no longer appearing in search results
Hi all The root domain for our site, roadtrippers.com, has been disappearing from Google's search results. Subfolders and subdomains still appear, but our root domain isn't found at all. I believe I've verified this by searching "-inurl:trips -inurl:byways -inurl:support -inurl:blog -inurl:places -inurl:guides -inurl:destinations site:https://roadtrippers.com/" in Google and our root domain is nowhere to be found. This may or may not be related to another issue we've had, where the root domain is appearing with a seemingly rotating set of parameters. Sometimes it'll be ?mod=, sometimes it'll be ?tag=translation. Originally they appeared to simply displace our ranking root domain, but now they and our root domain are completely disappearing. Our dev team believes they fixed the problem with recent 301 tags to any unapproved parameter being added to the root domain, but this hasn't fixed the original problem. Any insight into this is greatly appreciated! Brandon

Should you include Website Title in all page title tags?
We recently spent analyzing some of the best SEO software companies on the U.S. market fishing for the best practices in SEO and I saw one thing in common : They all had website titles in all the page title tags separated by " | " Is that the best practice for SEO or is it just for Branding? Interestingly enough, the website titles were completely unrelated to the pages' content or keywords. (Here's my personal opinion on what it looked like: "riding on a bicycle" | Ferrari ) But when I looked up the keywords ... ranked #1 or #2 spots, in some serious competition. (So in the example above, "bicycle" would be in the top spot)

Could EMD (Exact Match Domain) have cause SERP drops?
Hi all, Another suggestion was given for our fall in SERPS. Recently Matt Cutts announced that EMDs would be hit by new algoritms. http://www.seroundtable.com/google-panda-20-15789.html Only our site with exacts matches... cours-telephone-anglais, curso-ingles-telefono, kurse-englisch-telefon, and corso-inglese-telefono were hit. Does anyone else have experience of this? Would a solution be to create new URLS and redirect? Or would a redirect carry the penalty over? Is there anyway to fix that sort of penalty? Many thanks for your help.

Can you be both penalised and uplifted in SERPS?
hello everyone, We've literally had dozens of high ranking pages which are location specific, wiped out of the Google.co.uk SERPs. Can't imagine that it is anything other than a manual penalty but no message has been sent by Google. For example "campervan hire surrey" would produce our surrey page at the top of the SERP, now this page has completely disappeared. On the other hand, we have been promoted on national keywords like "vw campervan hire" and "campervan hire" where we are second and third. Does anyone agree that this is a penalty?
