Hello searchers what a great month we have had as it feels like spring is here. I hope everyone had a nice Valentines day! It’s been another busy month this month in organic search engine optimisation – we have a story about tree huggers, software updates and general chat from the search community.<\/p>\n

So without further ado let’s dive in…<\/p>\n

Moz<\/h2>\n

First of all, I would like to talk about a great online resource for anyone who is interested in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) called Moz.com<\/a> which has a great resource of information, products, blogs and online videos.<\/p>\n

This month Moz updated there domain authority (DA) metric. The Domain authority metric is a score given by Moz that estimates how valuable a certain domain is in terms of how well it might rank in search engines.<\/p>\n

Moz has a great little Chrome extension which if you have signed up to a free account with Moz it will give you your domain and page authority on the fly. This is a great way of getting a quick overview of your domain and pages health.<\/p>\n
