    Hi,

    On the MOZ bar there are a couple of links.  I understand most of it, but what is an RDs??

    PA - page Authority
    DA - domain authority
    Lks - links (to this page)
    RDs - ??

      Just watched that video - I've been talking about that for years.  If you do RCS you'll engage with your customers and they'll do the link building for you.

      My interested is in getting moz to work for me as opposed to me woring for him 🙂 LOL

        If you haven't seen it already, watch his full MozCon 2012 video here for free: http://moz.com/blog/2012-mozcon-videos-are-here  It's the second big image link on the page. It's priceless.

            yep  It's got to be Root Domains 🙂    I'm just trying to get my head around the whole system so I can start promoting a couple of key words.

            I think I've got the basics, just finding it hard that there's no tutorial on using Moz to out perform competitors  in search results gggrrrrrr

            I've done the whole new 'learn' bit (top of page), but that only covers general SEO (which was helpfull as a refresher) but I can't find a 'this is how to use MOZ to beat your competitors' tutorial.  It all seems a bit analytical, lots of great info, but no linking tips on out promoting a competitor.  Still got to do the hard work by hand  LOL

            I mut be missing something - although I have now changed my strategy and i'm working on an SEO campaign page by page :

            Doing a key word search
            Then analysing each competitor for that search term
            Analysing my page for that search term
            and then I just need to start promoting it and seeeing what happens 🙂

              I think Wesley is right. "RDs" mean "linking root domaind" which means the number of root domains (not individiual pages) that are linking to your site (URL). I believe you are seeing this via the Mozbar in Firefox, is that correct?

                  Unsolved Link Tracking List Error

                  error backlinks moz pro

                  "I have been maintaining 5 directories of backlinks in the 'Link Tracking List' section for several months. However, I am unable to locate any of these links at this time. Additionally, the link from my MOZ profile is currently broken and redirects to an error page, no to Elche Se Mueve. Given the premium pricing of MOZ's services, these persistent errors are unacceptable."

                  Unsolved Questions about travel industry keywords

                  travel industry

                  My question is regarding my current learning of SEO and keyword research. I have been leaning towards Keyword Everywhere, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research. What do you recommend? I know you might suggest Moz, but I'm looking for something that will enhance and help me find valuable keywords for the travel niche. If I sign up with Moz, will someone from the team help me with keyword research for the travel niche and my website? I haven't found any resources or lessons specifically focused on travel websites and their keywords.

                  There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

                  How crucial are H1 tags and descriptions in wordpress categories?

                  Hi all Trying to improve SEO for my (mostly) local site, www.nectarbridge.com, and recently got back on Moz Pro account. First crawl of my site by Moz, a manageable number of issues that I've mostly sorted, but the category with the largest number of problems is missing or invalid tags. My content pages and blog posts are not missing the tags. It's category, archives, etc., including multiple pages, ex: https://www.nectarbridge.com/category/blog/page/4/ A smaller number of pages are being flagged by Moz as missing descriptions, and they are also category pages and the like. So the question is - how hard should I pursue fixing these issues? I'm using the divi theme, which apparently doesn't display the category description by default (if it did, that would kill two birds with one stone). There is a fix to add the category description, but before I get into that I'm trying to discern whether this issue really matters greatly to SEO or if I should spend that time just working on more content.

                  Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?

                  spam score

                  My domain  longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data? Thanks,
