Are seomoz ranking in jeopardy?
-
A few weeks ago Raventools announced that they would no longer be able to provide tools based on the adwords API, then withdrew that. Rand commented on a thread here discussing that and made similar noises.
Today Raventools made an announcement as SERP tracking with wording that sounded a lot like it had more than a little influence from Google.
Would I be really paranoid to be wondering whether the Rankings tools in seomoz could be at risk?
-
Authority Labs (who were providing Raven with rankings data via API) have stated they plan to continue. This is their only service, so it's probably not a hard decision for them!

Thanks for citing that David!

Hi Matt - I don't think it's paranoid - it's a reasonable concern. That said, I can say that SEOmoz's plans for the long term do not include removing rankings data. We will be running a survey next week to gauge the relative importance of this data to our community, and then considering this over the next few weeks, at which point, I'll likely have more info to share.
Regarding Raven - I totally empathize with their tough situation and decision and I wish them all luck and success. They've been a great competitor for years, constantly pushing us to get better, and I hope that doesn't change.
-
Very reasonable observation.
I think that some of the exclusive rank tracking software will continue to operate though, so won't really affect me.

This might help- this was just posted by rand on twitterRand Fishkin @__randfish__
Many folks are asking us about Moz rankings data. At this time we have no plans to remove. I'll try to write about this more very soon.

Is it me or is SEOMOZ Q&A slow
I try and answer many questions here on SEOMoz Q&A, but the page load speed seems so slow I think my browser is going to time out. I don't remember it being this slow. Anybody else noticing slow loading (especially when asking, answering, or replying to questions)?

SEOmoz Campaign Setup: What would you do?
I've been using moz for nearly a year now. Initially when I set up our site (rac.com.au) it was as a single campaign for the rac.com.au domain. However, our business has a number of different product offerings and marketing teams (Insurance, finance, travel/tourism, automotive, security etc) - would I be better off setting each of these 'sub' brands as a campaign on their own using the 'folder' campaign setup? For example, have a campaign setup for the Insurance business (rac.com.au/insurance) folder, Finance business (rac.com.au/finance) and so forth? The advantage I see to the folder campaign setup is more specific reporting for each of the business units. Are there disadvantages to this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ryan

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

How does SEOMoz crawl sites? Does it follow the sitemap?
I only ask because in my report it returned a few "no follow" links. Was wondering how SEOMoz operates.

SEOMOZ Stats dont work out
Hi, When I check my mozstats for the homepage it says the PA is 50 but the DA is 30, how can that be? I would expect them to either be the same or at least the DA to be higher then the PA. Cheers
