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

Linking C Blocks - SEOMoz says its a good thing?
In the competitve analysis, one competitor have more Linking C Blocks, Seomoz has a tick by it almost like its a better thing. Surely a site with the same administrative relationship is not going to help you as much from a linking point of view.
