What platform is Moz using for this forum?
-
Just wondering if Moz can share which platform they're using for this forum? I really enjoy using it and would love to build something similar on our company's website, since it would definitely help our community initiatives and SEO.
Cheers!

Hi Christy,
Thanks for getting back to me. I do like the sorting functions and the capability to mark things as answered/unanswered are great too. I also really like the gamification with the points.
We're working on improving our forum right now, and currently just using a WP one but it's organized in a format that is sorted by boards, as opposed to all the threads in one and filtering after (which I like about Moz's!) Hoping to switch over to something more similar to what you guys have going on.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Actually, this forum was built from scratch, in-house.
We are really glad you enjoy using it! I'd love to know what you features you must appreciate, which ones you could do without, and what you'd like to see added to make using the forum a much better experience for everyone.
Also, I am curious what forum platform solutions you've already looked into for your own forum, and how they compare. Would you mind sharing? (No pressure, of course.)
Great question, thanks!
Christy

Is The Moz Community Rankings broken?
Not as active as I would have liked recently but still visit and login, answering a question now and again, yet I can see my profile is still listed as unranked. until recently I was somewhere around 45-49 and have been for many years - the criteria appears to be what it has for the last ten years or so. I see people with lower moz points outranking members with far more points. I can even see one with 0 points now appearing in the top 50 so my question is - is the moz community rankings broken or have I missed something? I know once before I pointed it out and it had to be fixed...input from all welcome 🙂

What platform is best for a searchable online library platform for articles, videos and audio?
I have a client who needs an online library for articles, PDFs, videos, and audio. Here are some of the criteria I need met: needs to be searchable needs to be able to accept guest blogging needs to be able to accept user feedback on each item all the items are free. needs to be able to filter results within search results. needs to be able to handle over 10,000 documents/articles that will be put on the site. content needs to be tagged with one or more tags for improved searching. I am familiar with WordPress but wasn't sure that was the best solution for a more advanced library. Any suggestions on other platforms that will work for this application?

What are the most effective SEO methods for online communities and forums?
My company has a global online community of over 350,000+ members. We allow users to submit articles revolving around the scrum and agile framework. Sometimes the submissions become overwhelming and I am curious if there is anyone out there who may have experience with this same scenario. I don't want to place meta data on every single article that comes in, because I don't have the resources nor time to optimize each and every article. Does anyone have techniques or suggestions in regards to either leaving the meta data untouched or customizing each individual piece? Any thoughts or ideas will be extremely helpful. Thanks

Do you use interns in your company/agency?
I was reading a CNN article about interns at the White House and how much it costs them financially as the position is unpaid. Recently there was a story re a Bank of America intern who had died after working 72 hours straight - I did not read up on it and have no opinion, but interns are in the news. We use interns regularly and we only use paid interns. The rationale behind it is that we are not looking for free labor, we are looking for bright people who want to learn and contribute and if they are going to contribute, why would we not pay them. Secondarily, whenever I have been in a place where the interns were not paid, they seemed to be in charge of coffee and donuts. (And that's my job.) We want to have them teaching and learning from day one. We place real client issues in their hands and we are very serious about it. The work is always checked by a senior staff member, but I never cease to be amazed by what they can produce when you believe in them. We recently had 6 heading back to college or HS and we put on a crepe party with a local creperie in our offices. It was a huge success. It was funny to see a couple of other marketing firms that know us come out within a day or two with how they are looking to hire interns. As I looked at those and others, I found several large agency types stating they take interns but they are not paid and mainly because of the superior experience, etc. So, if you have interns do you pay them or not and why? I am not looking for anything around right or wrong, I am trying to let you know if you are diligent in hiring them, you will be astounded at what they and you can achieve.

How cool is this Q&A Forum!
I love it, it's brilliant. You get to peruse through the questions to see real world examples of SEO issues, and help with things you do know the answers to, as well as learn loads from seeing others answers on things you don't know the answers to... I'm getting addicted to coming on here! The instant-ness of it all makes it much better than any other SEO forum out there in my opinion.
