Hi Diane.
I was curious so I took a look at the site.
Basic package - the only service they provide is to submit your sitemap 12x per month. Very simple and cheap sitemap software will do this for you free as many times as you want. No value at all. Not really worth mentioning but they submit to 100 search engines. Since Bing+Yahoo+Google = 98% of traffic, and Ask = 1%, the rest really don't matter.
I looked at their remaining packages and I see nothing of any tangible benefit to a SEOmoz PRO member.
Looking at their reviews, 25 of 49 reviews offer a 1 out of 5 star rating. http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/123_reg_co_uk__5111134
Is This Service a Waste Of Money
I haven't used the service but everything I looked at seems to indicate it is worth purchasing.

Pip your competitors to the post
I have no idea what that is but it sounds really, really cool. If they're going to do that, what else do you need?
For engines that matter you don't need to submit anything. In fact, I would just go about getting your links and you'll be found anyways. You don't need this service.

many thanks for the advice
-
I would not, get a link to your site and all search engines will find it.
all these services are just value adding, makeing money out of peoples fears and lack of knoladge,

Nothing spectacular here. It is just a standard search engine submission service. How in the world can they offer any thing more - in terms of organic search. Either that or they would probably put the website up on their network of site to drive some traffic through.

The W3C Markup Validation Service - Good, Bad or Impartial?
Hi guys, it seems that now days it is almost impossible to achieve 0 (Zero) Errors when testing a site via (The W3C Markup Validation Service - https://validator.w3.org). With analytic codes, pixels and all kind of tracking and social media scripts gunning it seems to be an unachievable task. My questions to you fellow SEO'rs out there are 2: 1. How important and to what degree of effort do you go when you technically review a site and make the decision as to what needs to be fixed and what you shouldn't bother with. 2. How do you argue your corner when explaining to your clients that its impossible to active 100% validation. *As a note i will say that i mostly refer to Wordpress driven sites. would love ot hear your take. Daniel.

Paid directory links--good or bad thing to do for Prof. Services sites?
Yes, I am pretty darn new to SEO and have heard that Google doesn't like Paid directory links. I have looked at some of my competition and they must have paid to get in certain directories as I don't see any backlinks posted on their home pages (usually a badge or icon must be placed on the homepage to avoid a fee.)

Schema for Services
There are many schemas for products, but I don't see any for services. They have intangible offers, but it's still for selling a product. I contacted Schema.org an no response. Here is the schema: http://schema.org/Offer So my question for someone who sells a service: What is the schema for a service like insurance, shipping, financial services?

Schema for Price Comparison Services - Good or Bad?
Hey guys, I was just wondering what the whole schema.org markup means for people that run search engines (i.e. for a niche, certain products) or price comparison engines in general. The intend behind schema.org was to help the engines better understand the pages content. Well, I guess such services don't necessarily want Google to understand that they're just another search engine (and thus might get thrown out of the index for polluting it with search result pages). I see two possible scenarios: either not implement them or implement them in a way that makes the site not look like an aggregator, i.e. by only marking up certain products with unique text. Any thoughts? Does the SEOmoz team has any advice on that? Best,
