SEOmoz:

Happy birthday indeed

Sure do! Read to have your mind blown? I've seen the struggles you have been having with getting new users engaged. I get it... SEO is tough stuff after all - I'm here to help. Watch the attached video before continuing.

How about combining gaming elements along with leader board type tracking of progress. Kind of like launching a campaign for a site (but now it will be called a game). You progress as if playing a game and the result is your site gets "SEO'd."The beautiful part about this, you track where other users get stuck / give up and how others have overcome these difficulties - share this data as part of the game. Build a big enough user base and what do you get? Precise answers to the hardest of SEO questions -> e.g. why did my rankings fall? because you did this, this and this! incoming thunder cats reference Machine learning Ho!
I wouldn't suggest this idea to anyone but SEOmoz - it's hard but is totally doable for someone who created open site explorer.

One person's personalization can be another person's tracking and invasion of privacy. On a serious note, do you have some ideas for personalization that aren't as intrusive?

Thanks Keith.
This question was more of a subtle suggestion for more personalization

Personally I find those forum automated birthday emails annoying, why would you care if a forum (or more specifically a php script) wished you happy birthday?
Happy Birthday any ways...

queue epic music
A day may come when we forsake our friends,
and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields,
when the age of men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!
This day we celebrate!!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
I bid you hence, mark your calendars!
-
Probably because I don't think we record your birthday anywhere.
-
lol thnx!
-
I love the keyword stuffed forum name in that email BH to the core!
Happy birthday.

404 even after Successful 301 Redirection
Hi, I've got quite few 404 error links on my site and I manually redirected all of them one by one with 301. They are redirecting successfully. But when I check my MOZ analysis, it still shows me as 404 error. I've done this about 4 days ago and MOZ crawled to my site couple times after that if it's not everyday. Do you know what the issue could be? And how can I fix it? PS: I've used Wordpress Redirection tool for it first and redirection did not work. Then I had to install the Simple 301 Redirects plugin to get it done.

Getting my top keywords separated out in SEOmoz reports
I am using the standard functionality to produce weekly Moz reports. There does not seem to be a setting to show rankings of my most important keywords. It would be nice to have those high-level keywords on the first page. For example, I have 200 keywords in an account. I want the report to show on a page my 10 most important keywords. Is there a way to set up a Label to my keywords in order to product a report page just for those keywords?

Seomoz crawl: 4XX (Client Error) How to find were the error are?
I got eight 404 errors with the Seomoz crawl, but the report does not says where the 404 page is linked from (like it does for dup content), or I'm I missing something? Thanks

So I created a Twitter feed for SEOmoz Q&A posts
I was looking for a way to subscribe to the SEOmoz Q&A posts so I could keep an eye on any new questions that I felt I could provide adequate answers to, but apparently there is no RSS feed available. So I made my own Twitter account to automatically post the new questions and felt like sharing it here in case anyone else would be interested in following - http://twitter.com/SEOQA. Additional info - 1. It only updates once an hour since I didn't want to constantly hammer the SEOmoz servers every minute checking for new questions. Which means the Twitter account will post how ever many questions there are once every hour, so sometimes it can get a little annoying seeing your feed bombarded with 6 tweets in a row from the same account. 2. Some question titles contain more characters than Twitter allows in addition to the URL, so some of them get cut off. Not sure how to fix that but it rarely happens so I don't tend to mind it. 3. It simply posts any new questions asked in any category since I'm not sure of a way to choose a certain category. It would be awesome if SEOmoz provided RSS feeds/Twitter accounts to follow for a particular category. 😉 4. I'm not affiliated with SEOmoz (other than being a PRO member) and I'm not making any money off this so I hope it's okay that I set this up! Let me know if anybody has any comments or questions or suggestions for how to make it better.

Are header directives such as X-Robots and Link supported by OSE/Linkscape/SEOMoz tools?
SEOMoz tool reports show lots of duplicate content where there are http header directives in place on pages to eliminate dupes. Googlebot obeys but Roger the robot doesn't. Are header directives such as X-Robots and Link (rel=canonical) supported by OSE/Linkscape? I'd like to put my mind and clients at ease. Thanks

Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Report notification emails (SEOmoz PRO Application ) --- Is it possible to customise the sender email address and/or email signature
The ranking reports are great but is there any way of changing the sender email address to be our own, and have our signature appearing at the bottom of the email notifications? We'd really like to send them direct to our customers and save some time double handling.
