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

Add to cart redirect using 302
I am getting a list of crawl errors in Moz because I am using a 302 redirect when people click on an item using the quickview add to cart eg:http://copyfaxes.com/cart/quickadd?partno=4061 will redirect them to the viewshoppingcart page. Is this wrong should this be a 301 redirect? There is no link juice to pass. Thanks

Is there a way you can determine the time SEOMoz crawls your website
I'm a new user to SEOMoz Pro, and having created a number of campaigns I wanted to know if you can set / schedule when SEOMoz crawls your website? Ideally I want to prevent SEOMoz from crawling my site at certain times, but I can't seem to find a way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

Discrepancies in PA and LRDs reported in different SEOmoz tools
I've noticed a difference in the reported PA and LRD numbers for URLs depending on whether you use Open Site Explorer, or look at the same metrics from within the rankings history (in your campaign set up). I've checked this for a few URLs and what I'm seeing is the reported scores for PA and LRDs is different 9 times out of ten. The PA is sometiomes higher on one report, lower on another, or vice versa. Same for LRDs. I thought it might be because one report was lagging behind and using old data, but that would only make sense if I was seeing an increase in reported LRDs, but it just as often shows a decrease ! Is this just a bug in the campaign>rankings history report or is there a reason for the discrepancies?
