Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks!

Whats going on with Dmoz? Last time I looked the site was still live but I remember submitting some clients around 4 years ago and still haven't got a response!

Thanks! I'll take a look at those. Exactly what I needed. If you remember any others let me know

Hey Mozzers,

I am doing some research and wonder if you can help me out?

Before Moz, Hubspot, Majestic, Screaming Frog and all the other awesome SEO tools we use today what were the SEO tools / software / websites that were used for aiding SEO?

I guess we can add the recently closed Yahoo! Directory for starters!

Thanks!

No problem, best of luck!

If its the first link building campaign and there are a lot of quick wins or if you are launching a great piece of content you may be able to move it up a couple of places but if not you will find it difficult to move a DA 32 up significantly in one or two months.

One factor for this is that DA doesn't update every month and there will be a lag on the work you are doing, that means if the DA doesn't update for 2 months and your links aren't found and make a difference in that crawl you might have to wait another couple of months to see the fruits of your labour.

Another factor to consider is DA isn't a score, i.e. it doesn't necessarily go up even when you do good work. As it is based on an index I find it better that track the difference between you and your main competitors to see if you are closing the gap.

I hope that makes sense?

Hello,

I think the answer is pretty opened ended depending on 1) the time scale, 2) the DA starting point and 3) the industry. These 3 points, among others, will have a huge say on how much DA increase you should aim for.

Thanks Donna, that is a great help

Thanks Donna, any experiences you can share using these tools? Especially the last 4?

As the title suggests, what are the best paid tools available for content promotion?

Thanks for your input. So far it looks like people are in agreement that outreaching from the client is the 'best' way.

Thanks Andy, that is great. I'll leave my thoughts until the end so I don't bias the following answers but appreciate you taking the time to give me your opinion.

Hey guys,

I hope you can all help settle an office debate?

When doing outreach for a client who do you send it from and why? I don't want to bias the answers so not going to go into much detail at this stage but I guess there are 3 possibilities (happy to hear others though):

1. From an individual with an agency email address
2. From an individual with a client email address
3. From a persona (fictional third party)

It would be great to hear your thoughts on where you send outreach emails from and why.

Thanks!!

Thanks Keri. Is there actually a way to do this by using Moz tools which I am missing?

In terms of getting worthwhile links video is actually a pretty solid way to start. You can get a lot of relevant / industry links utilising them, just make sure they link back to your page and not the video hosting one (which YouTube is notable for).

What's the best tool for measuring reach and engagement on all social media platforms (or at least Twitter, Google+, Facebook) ?

Hi Antonio,

Sorry to hear you have had the same problem, due to our clients nature this error by the developer cost them a load of lost revenue.

In answer to your questions:

1. It took 19 days in total to recover

2. We took everyone's advice and implemented them but I am unsure what actually helped. I think working work GWMT is the best thing for it. Make sure you submit for a re-crawl as soon as possible and see what is still blocked

I know how scary the situation is but things will go back to normal. Its just a matter of playing the waiting game really, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks Keri! Ill just bookmark it for now

Amazing thanks.

Any reason why the tool isn't just in the tools section which can be found in the main menu bar? (Just curious)

Hello,

I don't know if I am being a bit daft but I don't seem to be able to find the area where I can request a one off crawl report anymore (rather than setting up a campaign).

Can someone let me know where this is now?

Thanks!

I was expecting to see a page which is very well optimised and with lots of content but it only seems to use that phrase once on the page and doesn't have it in either the H1, Bold tag or an image alt. The page content seems very average too.

I guess its not a massively competitive phrase but the other sites on that page (and a few on the pages below) do have decent DA and PA. What is the one link they have? Is it a strong one with exact anchor text for that phrase?
