Yesterday we created and published a web marketing video for CBOstyle.com. Take a look.

Check out this new YouTube marketing video we created for an Annapolis, MD estate sale services company. In less than 3 hours, it is already ranked number 10 when you search Google for "Annapolis estate sale services". Pretty sweet!

Seems WIX sites are being de-indexed by Google. If you are a WIX user, might be time to consider a different solution. Here's a thread over at Google Forums where people are talking about the issue and, as of this post, complaining about WIX not doing anything to resolve it.https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/Io8DzTgfess/discussion

5 Secrets of a Good SEO Writer

SEO writers are experts at optimizing text content online in such a manner that that specific page is highly likely to turn up in first search results. SEO is a very common concept but not everyone can master it as it requires a strategic mind and techniques to be implemented. SEO writers are a big part of SEO services and SEO firms and they are specialized in their field of work. Here are 5 secrets that make SEO writers so good at their work:

MOZ Domain Authority and NEW Extensions - Wait for it..

Some months ago we bought some new domains with the new extensions like .company, .today, etc. Though both domains are ranking well in the SERPS for their respective keywords, we've noticed that the Moz Domain Authority has held steady at 1, which every new site gets.

Patience, we thought. Patience. Well, finally we asked MOZ directly if they have issues and the new domain extensions, and what do you know?

YES, MOZ is having problems with setting domain authority for new domain extensions with Mozscape API connected products like the Firefox browser plugin. Here is what they said specifically on the FB conversation we had..

"You are correct. Unfortunately, we're still working on upgrades to our tools in order to better serve the new domain extensions. Right now, they are not working. We expect this work to be done within the first half of 2015...Specfically this affects our Mozscape API, which is used for DA, PA, and our OSE tool. Moz Analytics and our other tools are just fine with the new extensions."

So, there you have it. If you have a domain with a NEW extension such .gallery, .company, .today, etc, your domain authority will not change from 1 until some time in the first half of this year.

Does that mean you should not continue working on building great content and your in-bound marketing efforts? Of course not. It just means we have to wait little longer until the new domain extensions have been incorporated into MOZ. When they are, your sites DA and PA should increase dramatically if you've been practicing good content and in-bound marketing strategies.
