Is it Possible to Subscribe to an SEOmoz Q&A Category via RSS?
-
I'm interested in tracking new questions in a specific category in SEOmoz's Q&A (the Reputation Management category), and I was thinking RSS would be the easiest way to do this. Is it possible?
Or is there another way to get new questions asked in a category into your email or RSS reader?
-
Thanks, I tried it with categories in a couple of different ways and I think we are probably just SOL if we want to keep up with new stuff in a single category.
Can I submit that as a requested feature? I'm particularly interested in what goes on in that category, but keeping up with it is sorta difficult with the way it is today.
If I could get a discrete URL that sorts by the latest for a category, then I can use existing tools like http://page2rss.com/ and http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ to stay up to date and contribute more regularly.
Thanks!

Not sure if it can go together with a category like that, but try
browse?sort=6
in the URL. If I didn't want to limit it to a particular category, I'd use http://www.seomoz.org/q/browse?sort=6.
-
I must be doing something wrong. Netiher of these sort by most recent:
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?sort=6
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=1&sort=6
Can you show me the error of my ways?

I knew it!!

Using &sort=6 in the parameters will sort by newest post, which may help. We don't have an RSS feed for questions at this time.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

"But that page seems to show what is most popular by default, not the newest. If you change the filter to 'Latest' or 'Last 24 Hours', the content updates, but the URL doesn't."
I believe watchthatpage would, it'll show a lot of updates because of the bumping though & threads falling off first page. In which case, you could probably shoestring something together with:
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=1
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=2
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=3
You're right though, it's going to be messy. I'm not 100% sure if it will respect the "bumps" and only pick up new posts though. It's worth a shot!

Thanks, Brent. I guess the tricky parts is that the category pages aren't unique. For example, this is the page I want to watch: http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management
But that page seems to show what is most popular by default, not the newest. If you change the filter to 'Latest' or 'Last 24 Hours', the content updates, but the URL doesn't.
Would the tools you suggested get around that somehow?
-
I would look at WatchThatPage. As long as their as the page is not sitting behind a login and has a specific URL, watchthatpage may be a viable option.
If you want to get fancier, look into IFTTT. Let me know if you want specifics on this, I could probably help you out this afternoon.
Good question & idea!

Spacing after list items in Q&A
Hey Moz The Q&A interface lacks any spacing after a HTML list item so it makes things look a bit messy. It looks right when being edited but wrong when posted so. example list more list list keeps going Paragraph after bullet list with no space. example list more list list keeps going Paragraph after number list with no space. Any chance of fixing that? It will make posts more readable and satisfy those of us fussy enough to go back in and edit posts so they are laid out correctly. (Sorry, I am English, I can't help myself). Cheers!

Why SEOmoz bot consider these as duplicate pages?
Hello here, SEOmoz bot has recently marked the following two pages as duplicate: http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=mp3 http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=pdf I don't personally see how these pages can be considered duplicate since their content is quite different. Thoughts??!!

Q&A Forum Slow Performance
The dashboard works great, but the time to get a link to respond in the Q&A forum is painful. I am on a 15Mb connection and have an SSD hard drive. It is only this site that is slow. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or are you all very patient?

Is it possible to override the 10k pages crawl limit on PRO?
Hi There, Just signed up for PRO and I love it! We have a particularly large website (tons of content) and the 10,000 page limit is holding us back from getting really exhaustive analysis. Is there any way to up the limit for a single crawl? Thanks!

Duplicate page error from SEOmoz
SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnostics is complaining about a duplicate page error. I'm trying to use a rel=canonical but maybe I'm not doing it right. This page is the original, definitive version of the content: https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/sent-2011-10-01 This page is an alias that points to it (each month the alias is changed to point to the then current issue): https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/latest-issue The alias page above contains this tag (which is also updated each month when a new issue comes out) in the section: Is that not correct? Is the https (vs http) messing something up? Thanks!

SEOMoz PR vs. Google PR
I have the SEO MozBar set up and for one of the sites we are maintaining, it is showing them on a 59 as PA in the MozBar. When I check it on Google PR, it has either no info or a 0. http://www.prchecker.info was one of the ones I found which shows them as 0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
