Difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API
-
Hi,
I probably put this question in a wrong category, so I'd like to ask again.
I am new in SEOmoz and writing this from Japan.
I have couple of questions and really appriciate if you can help me to understand SEOmoz. better.First of all, what is the difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API?
I signed up for 30days free trial and now continue being $99 PROmember.
Is that correct that rate limit is one request every 2 seconds with PRO?and also want to know about free API that I found after signed up for PRO.
Is there any restrictions on free API except for rate limit is one request every 10 seconds?The main reason I signed up for SEOmoz was to use the API link metrics, and because of the language I got really confused now.

understand. But there are some advanced people who want both . Just follow your competitor. I need both Because of issue and limitation. example you have a system only possible to see up to 10k backlink . But if I need 100k backlink analysis what I can do. also cost too high. No sense with 500$. how its possible majestic only charge 50$ provide us all everything including api access with 5 million backlink. I believe both will be same product in your seo moz. If you survey you will se most people use your competitor link metrics because reasonable and high. as a millionaire company seo experienced I see that how they sell the product. If you test it for few days you will see the response. Thousand of people serious interested your product also use seo moz product improve your sales. Most people want to use both link metrics for serious research.

They are different products, and different types of people want each product, so we have separate plans. There are people who only have the API and do not use Pro, and many people who use Pro who have no need for the API.
-
Thats is my question why pro membership and api seperate.
Paid access to Mozscape is separate from PRO membership.
We will get the access the api until pro membership expire.

Was the period at the end accidentally included? Try:

Hi! We have more information on this at http://apiwiki.moz.com/free-vs-paid-access.

But
I believe seo moz give us api access free for pro user. please look your competitor such as majestic seo. if we their membership receive free api use ability. So if seo moz do it . Its helpful for us no need extra more payment. its not realistic a seo moz pro membership don't have access to their api even after pay 99$ per month.I hope seo moz will give us free access with api. atleast for seo moz pro user.

Thanks Martijn.
It helped me to understand more about the difference between those. -
Hi Shinya,
Let me try to help you out, hopefully if I say something wrong the Moz staff will correct me. The difference between SEOmoz Pro and the Mozscape API is that the API only covers details about the data you see in Open Site Explorer. As it's an API it will provide you with raw data.
The SEOMoz Pro campaigns will give you via dashboards insights in how your pages are marked up with the right code for search engines.
You're right about the rate limit of requesting every 2 seconds. There's a difference for the API besides the difference in rate limits for paying customers. You won't get acces to some parts of the API for retrieving metrics. You can find a complete overview of the methods you can request over here.
Hope this helps!

API and bitflag question
I've googled and read and still confused on this. Regarding the link metric bit flags: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/link-metrics I understand everything about how the API works and have it all working, except for this bit flag thing... And there's no example on this page of how to use the bit flags in an API request so it's hard to work it out. My current API call is: "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/" & $db & "/" & $objectURL & "? SourceCols=" & $SourceCols & "&TargetCols=" & $TargetCols & "&Scope=" & $Scope & "&Sort=page_authority" & "&Filter=" & $Filter & "&AccessID=" & $accessID & "&Expires=" & $expires & "&Signature=" & $urlSafeSignature There are 4 Link Metric Bit Flags: 2, 4, 8, and 16. How do I use those in the above URL Do I use those in SourceCols? And there's about 15 Link Flag Definitions (ranging from 1 to 65536). So I use those in TargetCols? I've tested different variations and I get different responses but the responses aren't documented either. For example, if I get "luutrp":5.432777943351583,"luutrr":1.415861867916131e-14" in a response... what IS luutrp or luutrr. These acronyms are not outlined anywhere that I can find. This link: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/the-busy-developers-guide-to-seomoz-bit-flags outlines an example but is using Cols (not SourceCols or TargetCols) so either this page is outdated or I'm missing something. Is there also a "Cols" parameter? Basically, I just want: - given a single URL, show me all links (page to page) pointing to that URL, and give me the same information that's displayed in Open Site Explorer (page authority, anchor text, title, etc, etc) but also give me some additional information such as, "is it on the same C block?" What's an example URL for the above request? Really hoping someone can shed some light on this under-documented API.

About NOFOLLOW tag for SEOmoz analysis
Hi all, Another issue while trying to resolve all the duplicate content SEOmoz reports to me. May be some of you guys can help: I have a dynamic error page on our website, generated in case of error, that can happen on many urls. Of course that one should not be indexed. I added the following tag on the HEADER: name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> To me this should prevent from having this page indexed, but also from having this page reported by SEOmoz analyzer as duplicate content. Any hints?

Getting SEOMoz reports to ignore certain parameters
I want the SEOMoz reports to ignore duplicate content caused by link-specific parameters being added to URLs (same page reachable from different pages, having marker parameters regarding source page added to the URLs). I can get Google and Bing webmaster tools to ignore parameters I specify. I need to get SEOMoz tools to do it also!

How do folks present the SEOmoz reports to clients?
Hi, How are people presenting the SEOmoz reports to clients? Do you just export to PDF and email it? Cut and paste items inside some other kind of personalized format? Add adobe style sticky notes to explain things on top of the reports? Or something else that is wonderful and endearing to your clients? Thank you.
