Welcome to the Q&A Forum

That's an amazing resource.  How have I not landed on that before ! Thanks Miriam !

DA is a Moz measuring tool, which isn't used by Google. It is just an indication that the site will rank well (if it's high), or may have difficulty (if its low). PR is somewhat outdated, but is at least something google either still uses or used to use in their ranking algorithm. What google looks at when determining which content is original is which one they find first. To make sure yours is found first use Google+ to share your new pages or twitter to tweet the links. Facebook can also be used for this purpose. Best of luck, Amelia

Marcus is a little busy at the moment but I work with Marcus at Bowler Hat and may be able to help here. For google+ I recommend creating a page for each location. Simply because it increase the chance of the company appearing in the local search results depending on the location of the searcher. For example, if you were to only create one page for your Main Office and lets say that was based in California.. If someone was to search for a product or service that you provide but they are located in New York, for obvious reasons you will not appear in the local search results, even though you could have an office around the corner from the searchers location. But remember to not add the location into the title of your Google+ page! If you do it the correct way, you will end up will several google+ pages all called ‘examplebrand’ but Google will be able to recognise your address so there is no need to name your google+ page ‘examplebrand new york’ As for Facebook, it all depends on how much time you are willing to put into your Social Media. It would be great to have a Facebook page for each location as you could interact with the local community and share news about any events taking place. But if you do not have the time or a team to do this, I would recommend having a single brand page as it would be less time consuming but still enables you to interact with customers on social media. Hope this helps Ryan

Are you a coupon site that shares coupon codes/offers for lots of stores/brands, or are you a brand/store with coupons looking to get your code/offer included on coupon sites? All you have to do to find coupon sites is this. Here's another search that will get you a lot of "coupon directories" or at least directories that have coupon sections. (inurl:directory coupon). Whether this is a good use of your time is another matter. If you are truly concerned about traffic, rather than trying to get links to improve your pagerank, I would stick to whatever sites show up when you type in whatever you think those visitors will be typing (e.g. iPhone coupons, grocery coupons, find coupons, coupon directory...), as those are the ones getting the traffic, which can be passed on to you.

Hey Steve, While it is difficult to look into exactly what you are seeing without knowing the site you are researching, there are a few reasons that you may be seeing a discrepancy in Open Site Explorer. First, we can only show data for users that have public profiles, so no private users will be counted toward your likes. Also, the number of likes or +1a for a specific URL from your website will be different than the number of likes or +1s on your business page in Facebook or Google+. For example, the number of people that have like moz.com on Facebook from the on site widget is 2095 (http://screencast.com/t/ueiSZsx7hxd), but the number of people that have liked our business page at www.facebook.com/moz is 127k (http://screencast.com/t/bZ8I17sRL). If you research your site URL, it will not match up with the number of likes on the Facebook business page. You would have to input the specific facebook.com URL to see that data. I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Chiaryn Help Team Ninja
