How can i improve my DA?
Hi Mouse DA is only a metric which MOZ came up with - it doesn't exist outside of MOZ and is only a suggestion of the comparative strength of the domain (or page if it's PA). It's a combination of on-page SEO elements, content and backlinks. If you create the best possible themed content on every page, including the homepage then this is the first part of increasing DA. Acquiring backlinks from high authority sites, the higher DA the better but even sites with a lower DA can help if they are relevant to your industry and are of good quality. (no follow links can also be tracked by Google so don't just discount them - a balance of 75%/25% is recommended so it doesn't look contrived) If you are chasing a higher DA because a higher manager has instructed you to ask him/her why! lol It doesn't automatically guarantee more visitors! You might be better setting up a content sharing strategy through blogs and Social Media! Regards Nigel

I want to know if we buy social signals from website like buyfok.com, how it will affect in seo?
Just don't!!!! Buying in an unnatural number of new followers which causes a significant one off spike which will be seen as fake and more thank likely hinder your efforts than help. As per Casey, concentrate on your content, make it unique, high quality and link worthy. This will in turn attract new natural shares, likes and links. These likes and shares will also put your content in front of like minded people in similar demographics with similar interests. Cheers Tim

How to Optimize With Wordpress SEO Plugin YOAST?
Hi Emnma, Yoast does not do seo for you. It gives guidelines to follow. When you insert a keyword in the keyword slot, the software only matches the seo suggestions based on the keyword. If you want to check 3 keywords. Change the keyword you put in the keyword box. Those keywords are not added to meta data or anything like that. The upgrade of the plugin gives you a couple extra perks, but all the main stuff is available for free! Being able to add 5 keywords to optimize for allows you to see how your content matches up. You will have multiple keywords that do not get a green light and they shouldn't The other advice big advice i can give you is do not optimize your content for green lights. If you are trying to optimize for green lights much of your content will not be organic. It will be produced to meet the minimum requirements to get the green lights. Here is an interesting article by yoast on it https://yoast.com/want-green-bullet-wp-seo/ Let me know if you have any further questions.

What do I do with content suggestions to help you rank higher?
Eli Myers (via email) says: Content Suggestions are topics that we've seen used on pages that are ranking well for the keyword that you queried. If you're looking to help a particular piece of content rank well, they are topics that you may consider including. The idea is that the topic content may be helping those pages rank if they're a relevant and useful. For example, here is a report from the keyword "seo": Pages who rank well for "seo" are also talking about '"search console", "seo keywords", "seo agency", among other things. I can hit the arrow on the right to expand the box and see which exact pages on the SERP for "seo" are talking about "seo keywords". This area can be used as ideas for content generation - for example, in a new blog article on my SEO site I might want to talk about Google's Search Console, keyword research, agency topics, etc, as it would seem that searchers are finding this topics relevant and useful.

Person using expired domain and its links to drive traffic
I think that it is extremely risky. The more work and money that you have invested in the website that will be the recipient of the redirect the greater the risk. This is a methond for people who do not have a big investment in their website and are simply looking for a low effort way to gain a small amount of ephemeral juice.

"Things to do" Google lists
Hey There, I've never seen any formal research having been done on this type of result (somebody should do this!). Best guess is that a variety of signals would be involved. These could include proximity, authority, reviews, the number of times users have saved a location to their own Google Maps, etc. Difficulty of inclusion will likely be based on your locale. A small town would likely be much simpler to get attention in than a large city with multiple attractions. One thing you might try. If you click on the "more things to do" link, then click on the "travel guide" link at the top of the page, then scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll see a feedback button. The popup this surfaces invites you to share a screenshot and and share your ideas. Why not suggest your business? Definitely not saying this will result in anything, but it's the one vehicle I see for directly providing feedback about these results. This is a good topic. I'd like to see more research done on it.
