Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, Michael. Great support as always!

Hello Mozzers,

The "Get Keyword Difficulty" button next to the google search bar is not working for me.

All it shows is "--%".

It used to work fine a few weeks ago..

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I like the idea! Very often I was asking myself why a particular blog post got 6 thumbs down when I thought it was brilliant. Criticism should always be constructive.

I believe Rand mentioned on his Google Plus account, that they're working on it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello Carlos,

There isn't something like the best SEO tool, it always depends on you. I suggest you to test some tools (most of them have a free test month) and decide what works out best for you.

I had the exact same thing.

@Matt-POP

I guess you mean the *com.au is stronger

Leave it some time and try to earn some regional links.

They have some problems going on: Does OSE look whacky? We've been having some issues with load balancers, which has been causing OSE to throw some exciting errors. Our engineers are all hands on deck trying to figure this out, but we don't have an ETA yet.

I like the direction we're heading to --> Search Experience Optimization!

Focus on relationships with the right people (influencers). If you offer some kind of value and share it with the right people, the rest will come!

If all your services are for parties, I would go with subfolders.

For example: yourwebsite.com/catering

This also passes some juice.

Hi Malachy,

Moz has some great stuff about link building: http://moz.com/blog/category/link-building

Have a good read;)

Same here, be patient - you will love it:)

I took it, it's an awesome tool in my opinion!

That last paragraph is exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much, Ryan!

Thank you for your answer, I appreciate that!

Yeah, I know that it's a good sign in general. But if a majority of my best links are from another country, can I compete for searches in my local area. I mean, wouldn't a link with the same strength be better from a Swiss Site?

Hello Mozzers,

Let's say I have a local webdesign business in Zurich, Switzerland.

I try to get good rankings in Switzerland, to get real clients.

Now I have a blog in German (Yes, we speak German in Switzerland) and get most of my links from other German Blogs. Why? Most of the Swiss sites are competitors and there aren't many Swiss blogs for this topic.

Of course I have links from Swiss Sites too. But most of my strong links are from German sites, is this a real problem?

Thanks for your answers, appreciated!

Thump up! Exactly what I was thinking..

Thank you for the help, thats exactly what I was looking for!

Hello Mozzers,

May be a noobish question but I've learned to ask when I stuck.

Can we calculate how many links we need to get for example a domain authority of 40. Like can we say, if we get 8 more 80+ DA links, our own DA rises to 40. I know DA/PA are just moz numbers and it takes a lot more to succeed, but I thought about it and now I want to know it;)

Help is highly appreciated!
