Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello MOZ's

A week ago, whilst strolling around within MOZ I found a useful  resource page. It had a bunch of Link's / pages and social post's associated with my keywords. It gave the ranking and amount of likes each post had. And I was able to then share it to my own FB page. It also had websites on there, with high DA and keywords.

And now, I can't find the page again I've learnt to save pages now, but I'm wondering if any one can point me in the right direction again. Thank you in advance.

Lauren:)

I'm now well armed to go back to him and ask again for him to make these changes.

Hopefully he'll listen to me this time! Though I'm now thinking I need a new guy...

Thanks Thomas!

Thank you Laura, you've given me a clearer understanding of what I need to say to him. I do think I need a new guy though..

I have a website that has duplicate pages, and I want to fix them. I told my web guy and his response was:

"we do not see any issues on our end. It is not hurting any ranking in the 3 major searches. We have no duplicate pages"

Here's the site http://www.wilkersoninsuranceagency.com/ 

Here's the home page again http://www.wilkersoninsuranceagency.com/index.php

Here's what MOZ say: Please see attached image.

I'm not sure what to tell him, as i'm not a web person, but MOZ is telling me we have issues on the site and I feel like they should be fixed??

Matt, You're a life saver. I get it now:) Thank you so very much.

I have 2 linking root domains on my URL. But I don't get the whole Root domain thing. So I don't understand how I can improve it?

I copy and pasted this, from my Links page in my campaign because I can't seem to grasp what a root domain is:

'A higher number of good quality linking root domains improves a page's ranking potential'.

Can some one explain to me what this is. As simply as possible.

Here's my site www.Thumannagency.com

Thanks in advance:)

I get it now, thank you for that answer & I love MOZ, such a great place to learn.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me! I appreciate your answer.

I pay Yahoo, sorry Aabaco.... a lot of money every year to be listed on all the little search directories. I'm told this helps my SEO efforts, but I don't see where? Is there a page on MOZ that would tell me this, I'm interested to know the truth about this? I'm kind of new to seo so please answer lightly...

That helps me a lot, I get why I would use the word 'Study', because it does look like i'm sending them to an insurance home page. Which isn't as interesting as a study ( Or at least as interesting as an insurance study can be.. ) Yawn.

Sorry, I didn't explain that well. The anchor text I created takes you to another domain: http://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/homeowners-and-renters-insurance from my domain.

Here's the text from the blog, with the anchor text in it:

According to a study by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the average homeowner’s insurance premium rose by 6.0 percent in 2013, following a 5.7 percent rise in 2012. The average renter’s insurance premium was unchanged in 2012, after rising 1.1 percent the previous year.

Here's the url to the blog: http://thumannagency.com/blog/05-05-2016/3778

Sorry if i'm not saying this correctly...

Would you be so kind as to tell me if I've done this correctly, this is my first attempt at using anchor text in my blog.

Any helpful criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Hallelujah!!!! Thank you for that. A good teacher is one that knows how to simplify and now, without a doubt, I can say I understand it.

I may have a few more questions for you now..

I understand you 'Pro's' may fins this a silly question. But I'm a visual learner and I can't seem to grasp this.

I've read the pages MOZ has provided on anchor text and external links and my question is, how are they different? And which one is more important to seo?  Can someone who has a great ability to simplify things, please help me understand this. They seem very similar to me but, I know there has to be more to it.

External links: External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source)

**Anchor Text: **Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlinks display when linking to another document or location on the web.

Thanks is advance, Lauren.
