Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Apologies for the very late reply but Thank you both Billy and Everett, really appreciate your feedback, I feel better and more confident on my next steps!

Thank you for the information.

As your website got ranked in top positions use subfolders, let's say for an example if your primary domain in English is abc.com then have subfolder like www.abc.com/de/ Avoid choosing subdomain, If you go for a subdomain, you will lose your current authority as Google assumes subdomains as a separate domain. As you wish to develop your website for other language use properly translated content from the native speaker of the language and use it under subfolders. If you simply use any API to translate your content then you will hit by Google's Panda Update for having poor content quality. Avoid creating a new domain, instead, book that domain and redirect to the subfolder version (www.abc.com/de/) Hope this strategy helps you!

Hi there! Domain Authority is a proprietary metric that specifically comes from Moz, so Google does not use it. We do not disclose the exact formula for Domain Authority but you can read about the factors used to calculate in our article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority I hope that helps!

Good idea but how do I check what content is successful for my competitor ? Thank you,

Hello SeobyKP, That's a tough question. It's fairly easy for Google to see the other domains on any given server. It is not uncommon for shared hosting to have sites in all sorts of different industries, and all levels of quality. My thought is that you should probably put your client's site on a different server, especially if you're going to be linking into it from other domains on that server. I would personally not link to your client's sites from the other ones because they all appear to use the exact same template, and do not seem to be of very high quality. See these: https://viewdns.info/reverseip/?host=alliedautotransport.com&t=1 Either way, try to avoid using keyword-rich anchor text. It is perfectly fine to interlink a network of sites. Many eCommerce brands do this. They tend to be linked to in the footer with the domain or brand name only.

No matter what directives you (or your devs) insert on your pages and sitemaps, Google may still ignore them if it finds another resource it "thinks" is better targeted to a given user's region and language. With hreflang, you don't have to specify a region if you target numerous countries that all speak the same language. Keep in mind, however, that there are likely localized variants (different dialects, preferred spellings, cultural differences) that may require you to create customized content even if it's the same language. For instance, English speakers in the UK are likelier to write "prioritise" whereas English speakers in North America are likelier to write "prioritize." If you're targeting both of these regions with specialized services, then I'd recommend you tweak your spellings.

Thank you both for your responses. I will definitely redirect only to relevant pages and if Google happens to reset my domain, that will suck, but it's better than being hit with a penalty! Thanks again guys.

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Sorry for the delay! Keyword Explorer metrics can take up to 24 hours to build in a list, although usually it doesn't take nearly that long. If those metrics are still not showing tomorrow, could you please pop an email over to help@moz.com - a screenshot of the list would be awesome, and we can dig into this further. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask away as well!

Hi saharali15, What is the single most challenging problem with this site you are trying to solve? Please be as specific as possible and provide us details and screenshots about what you have and have not tried so that we can try to help you. Thanks! Christy

Hi Corp Analytics, Alex has raised some important questions. Did you see his response? Let us know so we can help, thanks! Christy

That helps a lot indeed! Thank you so much for your reply. I'll get on with this asap

You have to understand your audience requirements and then plan to write articles in your blog in such a way that your articles solve the purpose of your customer. Always remember "Content is the king". You can get DA 25 plus without even earning backlinks, just write high-quality original content in your blog. (Disable right click throughout the site to prevent plagiarism) At the initial stage, keep your topic very narrow. Getting DA does not solve our purpose. The articles should do sales for you which should be your ultimate goal. Have promotional banners within articles to take the user to our plans page and then aim for conversion. (This varies as per your business niche)

What difficulty score do you consider too competitive to rank without links ? Thank you for your replies they are very helpful.

On the off chance that you take Burgundy explicitly, the outcomes scene is somewhat extraordinary with a greater number of pages positioning with explicit courses instead of visits accessible from suppliers. For your page title in principle, it would be conceivable anyway I would actually go more down the course of Burgundy Bike Tour - A Cyclists Guide To Burgundy. Again it is difficult to decide without seeing your page and space yet it seems serious, so it's difficult to pass judgment on your odds by page title alone. Education is important so Best IAS Coaching in Kolkata. Anyway as I would like to think it is shrewd to have it spread out more like this with the explicit term at the front and afterward extra related content in the wake of leaving space to catch related longer tail look and empowering commitment.
