General beginner questions
Dear Experts,
We currently look into different methods to improve the search results for our current job platform website (www.goldwyncareers.com).
While I discussed with my co-workers some questions came up:
Do same-domain links improve the rating?
The idea was that link-density improves our rating. However I'm pretty sure it is just incoming links that really matter for google, isn't it?
Can an better fitting web-address improve our rating?
So let's say we would aquire "itjob.ch" and redirect on click to our goldwyncareers site, would this improve our traffic?
Any other suggestions for the website would be much appreciated.
We currently work on a system to get much more jobs online in shorter time so that's an issue we are looking into.
Thanks for all your advise in advance!

Thank you guys for all the great contributions.
It looks like our biggest hindrance seems to be our joomla plug-in which generates all the job pages and does not support individual titles/metatags and also somehow generates invalid html code.

Somewhat related follow up. I just read with the most recent rolling update, what is in your URL means less and less. This is a good read about the subject from moz http://moz.com/blog/early-look-at-googles-june-25-algo-update?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Early+Look+at+Google%E2%80%99s+June+25+Algo+Update&utm_content=The+Moz+Top+10&utm_campaign=Moz+Top+10+June+%232+6.27.13
Works for me. The more weighting Google puts on content the better it is for content-centric developers like me. A couple of paragraphs with good information, or entertainment value should trump, links, keywords, and everything else. When I am using a search engine, I want something specific and the number of links a site has does not mean a thing if all I get is a three year old piece of junk and an article written last week is on page three because it does not have enough "important" links.

However a quick read-through didn't answer my two questions, so I would really appreciate it if somebody could answer them.
Thank you all for the great community and fast help!
