What's with the new Q&A set up?
-
In the old Q&A set up your response was automatically given a thumbs up by you so that you got a mozpoint for every response you gave. Now you have to manually thumb up your responses. Why was this change made? Can we get it back to the way it was?
-
SEO Moz only gives out 20 Moz points per month for responding for asking or answering questions or leaving replies. After that I you can still thumbs up your own question, response, etc.
-
Likewise.

Here's the blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/pro-qa-forum-upgrades-changes

That makes a lot of sense - I had been wondering how many people got "answers" that really didn't help as much as another might have had someone not skipped it because it had "appeared" to have already been answered...
-
Hmm that's actually a bug I believe... I don't think you should be able to thumb yourself up at all. I'll need to check on it, but I think you shouldn't be able to.
-
Hey Alan, that isn't a bug. We're asking people to mark questions as "answered" and until they are, they say unanswered. Even though someone has left a response, the question may still not be answered.
-
Hey guys, I'm just about to publish a blog post that talks all about a bunch of new changes. The focus is for people to earn points for not only participating but adding value as well. Sadly we've had people who are only focused on gaming the system and creating silly questions or adding spammy answers just to gain points. So we've taken quite a few measures to give people MORE points for valuable answers/questions and less points for non-valuable ones. The post is going up in the next 20 minutes or so that has quite a bit more information.
Thanks!
Jen

There's bugs I think. Questions still showing as unanswered even after responses, points not being credited right away after answering (at least that's been my case since last night. So I reported it over at the help desk.
-
Good call, thumbs up for that I will overlook it as well, it would just be nice to not have to remember to do it all the time.
-
I noticed that too. Kinda sucks. SEOmoz doesnt want to comp too many memberships i guess. Kinda lame, good thing SEOmoz is awesome, willing to overlook it.
BTW it's funny that you noticed that, yet neglected to thumbs up your own post on a question about the very subject.
-
I gave you a thumbs up for reply so that it feels a little less awkward
-
It is kind of weird manually giving yourself the thumb.

A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website.
A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website. I know the disavow link process, but even this can be time consuming. Is there a better way to protect my website? Any and all ideas appreciated.... Are there any cool Moz tools that can help me manage this assault? Sorry, just a follow up from me... It appears that many of the spammy links (referrals) I see in Google Analytics are not present in Google WebMaster Tools. Does this mean that the spammy ones that I'm concerned about have already been discounted by Google, or are the spammy links no-follow? Any input on this would also be appreciated.

What's the best way to keep track of keyword rankings
Here's the deal. I keep track of my keyword rankings with the help of Rank Tracker from seopowersuite.com for the most part. I ran it on a daily basis and my keyword was not in top 100 for a few months. Moz.com panel shows pretty much the same (not in top 50) for the same months. That said, if I check that keyword ranking in my Google Webmaster Tools (avg. position) it says that its position (ranking?) was on average: 49, 7, 7, 8 (for the last four months). So, I'm not sure how it's even possible? How come Rank Tracker and Moz don't see any rankings and Google gives me sorta decent avg. positions at the same time. I assume that avg. postion means that same as avg. ranking, right? I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

Please set somethings straight
as a recent majesticSEO subscriber, I feel like i have either been mislead or something isn't right. For some reason I was thinking it was best to have a single link from a single domain, and that by have too many links from a single domain (backlinks) the ratio between referring domains and backlinks was a factor in pagerank. In domain analysis here, it would seem that is not that case as it puts a nice big green check mark by the person with most links, whether they are from 1 domain or multiple domains. Is this a good thing? Here's an easy example. I am a website designer, and I have the ability to link to my website in the footer of every website I design either by image or by text. If I do that, obviously I would have a link from every page on the site, but only from one root domain. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. My work around is to have a link in the footer that looks like this "website design by homecutcreative.com" that links to an internal page that has one link to my site, therefore keeping my referring domain : backlink ratio to a 1 which I was under the assumption was the best possible situation. Thanks for your help.

Change the labels' name
Hello, I defined various labels and linked them to groups of keywords. Nevertheless, I'd like to change the name of one label, but it seems to be impossible. How could I do ? Thanks,

Why would Open Site Explorer say some internal links are images when in the source code they're text?
Hi, All! I was looking at OSE for one of my client's site's pages, and I saw that all internal links were said to be images. I was pretty sure their menu was CSS, and all the links were text. So I did "fetch as Googlebot" and looked in the resultant code of one of the homepage to see the main navigation bar. The navigation link for one of those pages looked like this: `onmouseover="doMenu2on(this);">[](http://www.mysite.com/solution_sub.asp?ID=8)` [``` <code>![](images/arrow6.gif)Anchor Text Here</code> ```](http://www.mysite.com/solution_sub.asp?ID=8) ``` The nav link for a page that does show internal anchor text in OSE looks like this: onmouseover="doMenu2on(this);">[](http://www.mysite.com/solution.asp?ID=5) [```

<code>Anchor Text Here</code> So there is an image in the link (it's the little arrow before the text to indicate a sub-category), but the anchor text comes right after it. Is Linkscape (and therefore potentially Google) seeing them as two different links to the same page and only counting the first? But it's all wrapped within the same <a></a>tags. Any ideas on if this is a bug in Linkscape, or a real issue, and what should be done? Thanks! Aviva``0
