With the release of so many domains from .expert through to even .xyz why don't we see many around the top of SERPS?
-
And should I use one of these to create a nice looking site, invest time, energy, resource, money or will I simply regret it later and stick to the main TLDs?
First question on Moz (yey)
-
Hi, we are using www.9.digital and its ranking well in SERPs for related keywords. So i don't think that preference is always given to .com or .net domains.
Thanks!

Thank you
Interesting comment on immediate and perceived 'trust' which is where of course the conversion funnel truly starts

Hello,
I think the most important is to find an easy to remember domain name, whether in .com, .net or with new extension. SEO will be the same !

Hi, Nice to see your first question.
I think that this question is one for "opinions" because Google will say that they treat all of these domains the same. I think that Google is being honest with that answer. But, there are a few reasons why you don't see many of these new domains at topSERPs.
1) Getting to topSERPs these days takes a lot of work and a lot of time. Most of these new types of domains have not been around long enough to reach that level in today's ultra-competitive environment.
2) Some people don't like these domains. They think that searchers who have never seen them before will be skeptical about trusting them. I agree. I don't have any plans of using one. I'd rather pay $X,XXX or $XX,XXX to get a nice .com. I put a lot of work into my sites and the cost of a nice domain is small compared to the amount of work that will go into the site.

New google serps page design
hi i know title length displayed is now based on pixels rather than character but still thought safe to have titles up to 70 characters long before they are truncated i see that on the new G serps designed pages titles that were showing in full on old design (without truncation) are now being truncated. As in same title shows fine (displays in full) on old design serps but truncated on new designed page Anyone else notice this ? Cheers Dan

What's the point of my blog?
My website, www.toplinecomms.com has a reasonably good blog that gets quite good interaction and sharing. I introduced the blog at the start of 2013 because the general sentiment from all the SEO books and articles I had read was that a good blog could be invaluable to a search marketing campaign. The posts on the blog are keyword optimised and they get great shares and social engagement. However, I have noticed that the blog is stealing my services' pages' thunder! There are some keywords that I am keen for our services pages to rank for, but the blog is beating them to it! So my question is: How should I be using my blog to get my services pages to rank higher?

Too many outbound links on a page?
We have a "Clients" page on our site with approximately 125 of our clients listed. We have a link to each client's website, so that's 125 links. I am rethinking this approach. Is there any value to having these outbound links? The SEOmoz PRO analysis tells me I have too many links on this page. I have read that more than 100 links on a page is too many, but that seemed to be referring to internal links. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Wordpress pages URL's redirection.
I was checking W3C Markup Validation and in report it was shown that that pages (not post or any other URL's just PAGES) at investmentcontrarians.com are 301 redirected. e.g. original URL "http://www.investmentcontrarians.com/debt-crisis" which is redirected to "http://www.investmentcontrarians.com/debt-crisis/" I know that its not that serious issue, but still want to know why only pages are being redirected and how can we avoid it.

Too many on-page links
Hi, My website - www.thepartyhouse.com.au is showing as having too many on-page links for over 4,000 pages. Take for example the homepage which is showing as 188 links, but I don't understand this because I've used SEO tools to display the links and I am showing around 90 links on this page. How can I see what all the links are? Thanks

Duplicate content on my domain
I have several pages on my domain that are using the same content except for changing a paragraph or sentence. Do I need to create unique content, even though much of the information pertains to a feature and is related?
