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

SEOMOZ Crawl Test
Guys I really have an issue that i know have but cannot see if that makes sense. Basically 3 months ago i did a site wide 301 from economyleasinguk.co.uk to www.economy-car-leasing.co.uk Every thing looks good get all the correct header responses , all canonicals work perfectly , Google webmaster tools is updated fetch as google bot shows the old site is 301 I tried the seomoz crawl test today on the old domain and got this message Oh no! Looks like the page you were trying to access is temporarily down which at first thought ok because the site was not there it wont do it on an old 301 domain, however i tried it on a domain i know has just been 301'd and i got this message The URL http://www.site1.com/ redirects to http://site2.com/. Do you want to crawl http://site2.com/ instead?

Would you like to:
Continue with www.site1.com
Continue with site2.com I really do not know what to do, its either the redirect script is missing something however its doing what it should or the server is a problem but again its doing what it should so why would SEOMOZ not be able to crawl the old URL like it example site above. Now the strange thing is Open Site Explorer does see the 301 and asks if i want to check the new URL instead Ps the redirect is done using PHP redirect which i am asking him to change to a htaccess as its now on a apache server and was wondering if this could be an issue, all pages go to correct pages as requested Thanks in Advance1 -

Why does SEOMoz crawler ignore robots.txt?
The SEOMoz crawler ignores robots.txt It also "indexes" pages marked as noindex. That means it is filling up the reports with things that don't matter. Is there any way to stop it doing that?

Seomoz & Duplicate Page Content Issue?
Hi, What is the criteria on Seomoz Crawl Diagnostic Report? I got a long list of URLs indicating Content that is identical (or nearly identical) to content on other pages of your site forces your pages to unnecessarily compete with each other for rankings. But as I gone through none of the reported pages duplicate. What should I do? Thanks in Advance
