I have recently launched an e-commerce website which has a whopping domain authority of 1!
I was thinking about adding a blog to it (it's in open cart), but that would mean creating it in a wordpress but using the same domain name.
Would this be beneficial from an SEO stand point (i.e sending traffic to w blog that isn't actually on the e-commerce website itself) , or am I better off creating content as blogs/articles on other people sites?
Thanks Tom,
I do agree about the importance (or lack of it) of the domain/keyword issue, I was more curious as to why it wasn't being seen. But you've put my mind at rest.
SEOMoz (and other platforms) advise that I need to add my keyword to the page URL, however as far as I'm concerned it has been, so why don't these platforms see it.
My home page URL is www.salesandinternetmarketing.com, but apparently I haven't added the keyword internet marketing to the URL, what advice can you give me please?

I'm curious to know how much social media effects the chances of being more highly ranked on Google.
I appreciate it's important to 'be seen' by Google, but if articles/newsletters are being written, does it really matter if a business isn't using Twitter or Facebook, etc?
I've just launched an e-commerce website selling hosiery and have received aa report from SEO Moz regarding overly dynamic URL's.
How do I resolve this issue - in words of one syllable please, I'm new to SEO!
Here are three exapmles of over 120:

Thank you.
One of my pages dropped 22 places last week and I'm not sure why - can any body give me some suggestions to why this might have happened?
Hi Mark,
Nope none of the above - and what you see is exactly the report I get from SEO Moz. And like you I can't identify where the duplicate content is.
Short of deleting the blog page (and consequently the multiple URL's) I'm not sure what else to do?
I have (an attached) report that shows duplicate content for a blog page and I'm not sure how to resolve the issue.
The blog/website is hosted on wordpress.org, maybe it's something to do with having to add categories or tags - can anyone help please?
It appears one way to rank more highly is by using Google+. But should I start to build a community myself or as my company?
I have a good Twitter following under my own name, which links to my company page and a facebook page (for my business).
I much prefer to be a face on social media than hide behing a logo, but am faced with a dilemma and not sure where to begin: Will Google recognise the relationship between me and my business if I set up an account under my own name?
Primarily it's my business I want to promote, so from an seo perspective it seems should I use Google+ as my business, but I really dislike 'corporate' social media?
I've posted a few articles on my website blog page, but one particular blog receives a lot more traffic than the others.
How, where and why do people find that particulat article over the others?
I get a lot of spammy comment comments to my blog which I trash, but I'm also particular about the comments I allow.
How do the search engines regard these comments, should I allow more to be posted as it looks like I'm getting more traffic.And by posting these comments, who benefits from the backlinks?
I redirected from my .co.uk site to my .com site (www.salesandinternetmarketing) and my Domain Authority has gone from 44 to 33!?
Also SEO Moz states that it's crawled all my pages, yet isn't showing any on page reports, inculding keyword usage, meta descriptions, etc.
I'm very confused and not receiving clear answers from the support team (they've said one of the reasons is that my keywords are not ranked in the top 50, well some are, nevertheless I should still be getting some report info shouldn't I)?
Can someone please help, I'm rather fed up as this has been going on a for a couple of weeks now
On the ranking page Seo Moz displays words/pages in the top 50. How can you find where that word/page is ranked if it's below 50 and say up to 200?
Hi,
I was so interested in this question I called them!
I'd like to know in order to learn quickly and efficiently (time is money right?) and because I'm a social media trainer and would like to be able to help others.
Unfortunately I couldn't get an answer immediately, but hopefully someone will get back to me, so I'll let you know if I hear anything. In the meantime have you looked at this link?

It gives you access to training videos by SEO Moz (you'll need to purchase them) which might be useful, although they don't appear to provide answers on how to best use SEO Moz as a tool
