      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?

        Hi,

        MozTrust you can increasing by getting links form high MozTrust sites like educational resources.  Read this lnk for more idea about the MozTrust http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust

        MozRank described link popularity you can increase it b getting link from popular domains. Read this link for getting more idea about increasing MozRank. http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank

        If you improve both then you can improve your ranking and Google Plus sale also.

          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

            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.
