What Q&A Forum Platform Does SEOmoz Use?
-
Completely custom built, or a 3rd party offering that can be customized? One of the most usable forums I've seen!
-
haha thanks!
-
Ha -- SEOmoz should offer a license/white-label of the forum technology. I'm sure there are many others (have not shopped yet) but I like this one.
-
It does make it difficult to have multiple platforms, I'll have to ask a dev though about whether we're planning on moving it all to RoR. I believe PRO is actually built on a different platform even, oy!
-
Exactly.
-
wow, really? awesome! Does it make it harder to have different platforms... or will you guys be switching the main site over to RoR someday?
Thanks Jen!
-
Q&A = the community forum we are interacting on right now, so yes.
-
Thanks! I should have clarified. I meant the community forum that we're interacting on right now -- is that all custom on Ruby too?
-
Q&A is completely custom built in Ruby. Thanks!
-
Actually the main site is built with CakePHP but Q&A is not. This is built in Ruby.
-
Yeah, it's all pretty much right. I believe the RoR token is likely for the Web App. It won't detect cakephp though, because it's a server-side framework and will therefore execute prior to the page being being returned to a browser. That said, I'm actually surprised it detected RoR.
-
Yeah, I should have clarified. I meant the community forum that we're interacting on right now.
-
Their Help Desk is on Zendesk.
If you mean this Q&A? I'm absolutely sure it's custom built with cakephp.
-
Interesting - Zendesk looks pretty powerful. I need to research more -- on the first 1 minute glance it looks more like a customer support engine vs. a forum manager, but I'm sure it can do both.
-
Hi there,
I believe it's Zendesk on an Amazon CloudFront platform, though am sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.
Regards
Simon

Does SEOMOZ use Google Search?
I run a Joomla site and have noticed users having a hard time finding what they are looking for. The default Joomla search is lacking and the latest Joomla search component I added is better but still not great. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for on SeoMoz, do you guys use Google Site Search?

Seomoz on-page analysis, how strict to be
Hello, In a competitive niche, how important is it to be strict with the seomoz on-page analysis? If it gives a page/keyword an A, am I good to go? Or do I need to be more strict in that. We've had some competition move above us and we want to make sure we're on-site optimized well. site: nlpca(dot)com Thanks.

Is there any way to manually initiate a crawl through SEOMoz?
... or do you actually have to wait a week for the next scheduled crawl date on a particular campaign? We've just made a ton of changes to our site, and it would be helpful to know if they will generate any warnings or errors sooner rather than later. Thanks!

Seomoz Customer Service does anyone feel let down
I would like to know if anyone else feels let down by seomoz and their customer service. I will give you a couple of examples why i feel let down. I contacted customer services over an issue a couple of weeks a go and never got an answer from them, and the second issue is the private question that you can ask. I asked many days ago and it was an important question and it has still not been answered. I am just wondering what we are paying for by using this site and if other customers of this service feel let down like me.
