Why Even Publish Dates for the Next OSE Data Set?
-
I just noticed on the Linkscape calendar the update that was supposed to happen yesterday is pushed back to the 6th.
It would be better not knowing. Is this a possibility? Or use the calendar internally, I don't care. Credibility in any announcement or claim looses muster once you do not do what you say you are going to do over and over again. Just a thought..

No worries, Brent. I don't think it's an attack at all. Feel free to not view the calendar.

lol, probably freshdesk after what they said about them on Twitter

Actually, a DDOS attack took Zendesk down today, it wasn't us.

Did you guys actually take it down now? Or is it just broken?

Thanks Jen.
I'm just not sold. The only reason I have a subscription anymore is to refresh out of amusement. It's sad really.
So now I will put much less weight in the dates on the calendar. Would a 5-10 day window surrounding the "next update" date be wise?
Sorry if this seems like an attack, I realize the service has many hands in on the project and you are trying to speak on behalf of many. Trying my best not to shoot the messenger here

Hi Brent!

Hey Brent,
I totally understand where you're coming from and believe me we're as frustrated by the date slipping as our customers are. We set a date to help people plan and we like to be open and transparent about the index and when it's coming out. It may seem like a good idea to not tell people when we've missed a date, but honestly that wouldn't be very TAGFEE of us.
Also, having a date on the calendar help people remember when indexes have gone out in the past. It's most definitely not perfect, but we're working very hard to get those indexes happening much faster than they currently are. We'd rather have people know what's going on, rather than wonder.
Hope that helps explain a bit!
Thanks,
Jen

So we have a rough idea when to expect the next Linkscape Update. This isn't an exact date, but more of an estimate or goal.

Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

Is there any way to get historical API data?
I'm looking for a way of requesting domain authority and some other stats via the API for several previous months. I noticed on here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/what-is-the-mozscape-api

It says "SEOmoz PRO members now have access to historical API linking data - read about this great new feature on our blog!" but i could not find this blog post anywhere and maybe I'm misreading this line anyway.0 -
How can I set up a campaign to track just directories on a specific subdomain?
I am trying to setup a campaign to track a specific subdomain and all its directories. For example, want to track example.abc.com/11111 and example.abc.com/22222 and so on. No interest in tracking abc.com itself. Is this possible?

Data Missing In Pro Account
Hi All, I've been using Pro for a couple of years with nothing more than the occasional glitch, however, almost every day there is some kind of data missing from a campaign or two within my account recently. It's got to the point that I send a support ticket most days, no matter how insignificant the problem. Often I just need to disconnect and reconnect Analytics, but it's becoming very frustrating. Is it just me who's having these issues or do other people have the same problem recently? Thanks, Steve

Confused on setting up my domain in a campaign
I have a website that is www.example.com. When I first setup my campaign in SEOMoz, I missed the instructions that stated I need to set up my domain as it appeared in the browser. Thus, I set it up as example.com. When I realized my mistake, I setup a second campaign as www.example.com and am running them side by side to see the differences. My question has to do with the best setup. I have a blog that is a subdomain as blog.example.com. It appears that the www.example.com campaign is not crawling the blog pages but example.com is. Are there any downsides in setting up this campaign as example.com? I have a number of other sites with the same issue so would like to get this resolved before I setup the additional sites. Thanks for any assistance or insights into ways I may be "shooting myself in the foot" with the wrong domain structure in my campaign settings.

Exporting Twitter and FB data in report
Hi Been with this tool for a few days now and enjoying it so far. I do have one query though. In the campaigns section we have various tabs of data, including Social. However while all the other data is exportable in the created report, social is not available to add to the custom reports. Why is this? When I click on the social tab I can download it in CSV but it would be good to be able to export the charts in pdf as per the other analysis data. Would make it much easier when sharing reports with clients. Are there any plans to make the social metrics addable to the custom reports one can create?

No data showing in SiteExplorer
For this site: www.cooperator.biz/ I see no backlinks in SEO Moz Open SiteExplorer but Majestic SEO is showing 13 unique domains linking to it. I regularly encounter zero data for sites that I know have backlinks, why is this? If it's a problem with crawling them, why would I continue to use SEO Moz when other SEO services are showing me links? Kind regards, Rich

Keyword tool: SEOMOZ spacific month ? vs adword tool 12 month average but same data ???
Running a keyword analysis in SEOMOZ it shows my the folowing information "Local Search Volume (Dec)". I compared the data for the specific country , language and keyword with the adwords keyword tool and it exactly showed me the same numbers. The adwords keyword tool shows: "Local Monthly Searches: This column shows the approximate 12-month average number of search terms matching each keyword" http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=25148 So if the numbers are the same in google keword tool and SEOMOZ why is SEOMOZ saying that for a specif month? If the data is the same one of both can not be right or probaly I didn't get the point. See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/GyaaW7EkwV Thanks for help
