What's with the new Q&A set up?
-
In the old Q&A set up your response was automatically given a thumbs up by you so that you got a mozpoint for every response you gave. Now you have to manually thumb up your responses. Why was this change made? Can we get it back to the way it was?
-
SEO Moz only gives out 20 Moz points per month for responding for asking or answering questions or leaving replies. After that I you can still thumbs up your own question, response, etc.
-
Likewise.

Here's the blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/pro-qa-forum-upgrades-changes
-
That makes a lot of sense - I had been wondering how many people got "answers" that really didn't help as much as another might have had someone not skipped it because it had "appeared" to have already been answered...
-
Hmm that's actually a bug I believe... I don't think you should be able to thumb yourself up at all. I'll need to check on it, but I think you shouldn't be able to.
-
Hey Alan, that isn't a bug. We're asking people to mark questions as "answered" and until they are, they say unanswered. Even though someone has left a response, the question may still not be answered.
-
Hey guys, I'm just about to publish a blog post that talks all about a bunch of new changes. The focus is for people to earn points for not only participating but adding value as well. Sadly we've had people who are only focused on gaming the system and creating silly questions or adding spammy answers just to gain points. So we've taken quite a few measures to give people MORE points for valuable answers/questions and less points for non-valuable ones. The post is going up in the next 20 minutes or so that has quite a bit more information.
Thanks!
Jen

There's bugs I think. Questions still showing as unanswered even after responses, points not being credited right away after answering (at least that's been my case since last night. So I reported it over at the help desk.
-
Good call, thumbs up for that I will overlook it as well, it would just be nice to not have to remember to do it all the time.
-
I noticed that too. Kinda sucks. SEOmoz doesnt want to comp too many memberships i guess. Kinda lame, good thing SEOmoz is awesome, willing to overlook it.
BTW it's funny that you noticed that, yet neglected to thumbs up your own post on a question about the very subject.
-
I gave you a thumbs up for reply so that it feels a little less awkward
-
It is kind of weird manually giving yourself the thumb.

Why has my MozTrust & DA dropped
Hi The company i work for are in the middle of relaunching our product, so during this time we have not been generating much traffic to the site. We are still getting about 800 SEO visits a month, however, as we aren't doing email marketing our site traffic overall has dropped. I have noticed that since October or MozTrust and Domain Authority seems to be dropping. Our DA was at 18 then in the space of a few weeks has dropped to 10. Our Moztrust was at about 3 and now is at 0. Our links to the site seems to be disappearing to according to Moz, however other back linking website are saying they are still there. Could someone maybe shed some light on what i may have done wrong to lose these two things and so quickly. This all happened mid to late October. During the Hummingbird release we were fine! We have also just updated out website with lots of new content. In fact increased it 4x. There are great internal links throughout the site. Thank you

Adding new categories to my website and getting them ranked
Hi, I currently run a website and have added a couple of new categories lately. The website is Planes Trains Automobiles Co UK. For example I want to add "Planes for sale" as a new category. What is the best way to go about this? Will each aircraft added add content therefore ranking? I don't want to approach an SEO company yet as the service would be free for the time being? Thanks

Can't find duplicate page content
Hi all. I'm trying to create a report to list all of my site's duplicate content that SEOmoz says we have. However when I click on the link it just shows me the title and description of the page. I don't know what the other page is that has duplicate content or what the duplicate content is. Where do I find this information? Thanks in advance!

Optimization report card says "F" but I'm ranking #1
Using the SEOMoz pro tools and several of the terms I have listed get a report card of "F" but they also show Google rank of #1, #2. Is this unusual? And should I spend a lot of time "fixing" this if we're already ranking high?

404 Page/Content Duplicates & its "Warning"
My website has MANY duplicate pages and content which are both derived from the MANY 404 pages on my website. While these are flagged in SEOmoz as "Warnings," should this be of concern to SEO effectiveness?

Does anyone know of a crawler similar to SEOmoz's RogerBot?
As you probably know SEOmoz had some hosting and server issues recently, and this came at a terrible time for me... We are in the middle of battling some duplicate content and crawl errors and need to get a fresh crawl of some sites to test things out before we are hit with the big one? Before I get a million thumbs downs- I love and will continue to use SEOmoz, just need something to get me through this week ( or until Roger is back! )!

SEOMoz Pro still hasn't crawled 10k pages for one campaign
I looked for a question in the forum already for this but couldn't find anything. Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I recently signed up with SEOMoz Pro and added two campaigns. For one campaign, 10,000 pages were crawled. For the other campaign, only about 300. It's been 2 weeks since I created the campaigns. Is there a way to force a crawl of the site associated with the second campaign?
