Is there an SEO checklist that I can follow for every new project?
-
I'm a very structured dude. I literally have to have every project in front of me in order to be productive. With that said, it would sure help me if there was a checklist to follow with at least the basics to both audit an existing website, to where they rank and what areas need improved and then another checklist that goes through each phase of implementing SEO for the first time either on a brand new website or an existing website that you're taking over...
Any suggestions?

Joe put in some really good resources, so is Matt's
I put together something as well https://www.leapfroggr.com/seo-checklist/ you might like it.
Good luck!

Joe's suggestion is awesome, and I agree completely! I'd add Cyrus Shepard's "How to Rank," though, which really does a good job of laying out a successful SEO strategy.

Awesome thanks Joe. Much appreciated. I do a thorough walk through of each of those links and their content.

In general there are lots of ways and opinions on what to do depending on who you ask. I would start with these resources and add or subtract to the checklist to come up with YOUR version of what you want to do.
1. http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
2. http://moz.com/blog/the-beginners-checklist-for-small-business-seo
3. http://moz.com/blog/technical-site-audit-for-2015
4. Your weekly reports from Moz also show you what should be fixed as far as technical errors and on page seo.
I think these 4 resources should really point you in the right direction and by going through this info you should be comfortable with a great checklist of your own ready for next week.
Hope you find those resources useful.

Witch domain to use the highest authority and backlinks or the new one?
Hello I have 2 domain names to the same website as described: domain.net is redirecting to domain.com 301. domain.net age = 16 years domain.com age = 18 years domain.net was in use before the 301 redirects for many years, and it have a better moz authourity(55) from domain.com(45). also have a better count of linking domains(3.2K backlinks) backlinks from domain.com(1.2K backlinks). all data is from Moz pro. the question was what to use for my website for more SERP traffic? Is using .net domain better? or make them both work without 301 redirect with a canonical meta tag? if yes to witch domain best to point this meta? Thanks

Switching to a new website & Search Engine Rankings
Hello! We have been doing a lot of work on our SEO over the last few months and are thrilled to be in the top four four "edmonton website design" in our city. However, we are planning to launch a new website soon and are very concerned that this could negatively effect our rankings (as was the case with one of our competitors this week). What tips and techniques can you recommend in this case? On paper, the SEO on our new site is much better than the last - the url structure, contact info and content is much more targeted to our desired search terms, however, I don't want to take any chances. Is there any way to be certain (as certain as possible) that we will not get bumped to page 2? Thanks, Anton

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

I made a mistake on my root domain, how can I change it.
I just signed up for SEOmoz and already goofed up on setting up my root domain, I left out www. part. I can't find a way to edit it. Can I change it, or do I need to start a new campaign and delete this one?
