Is it Possible to Subscribe to an SEOmoz Q&A Category via RSS?
-
I'm interested in tracking new questions in a specific category in SEOmoz's Q&A (the Reputation Management category), and I was thinking RSS would be the easiest way to do this. Is it possible?
Or is there another way to get new questions asked in a category into your email or RSS reader?
-
Thanks, I tried it with categories in a couple of different ways and I think we are probably just SOL if we want to keep up with new stuff in a single category.
Can I submit that as a requested feature? I'm particularly interested in what goes on in that category, but keeping up with it is sorta difficult with the way it is today.
If I could get a discrete URL that sorts by the latest for a category, then I can use existing tools like http://page2rss.com/ and http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ to stay up to date and contribute more regularly.
Thanks!

Not sure if it can go together with a category like that, but try
browse?sort=6
in the URL. If I didn't want to limit it to a particular category, I'd use http://www.seomoz.org/q/browse?sort=6.
-
I must be doing something wrong. Netiher of these sort by most recent:
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?sort=6
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=1&sort=6
Can you show me the error of my ways?

I knew it!!

Using &sort=6 in the parameters will sort by newest post, which may help. We don't have an RSS feed for questions at this time.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

"But that page seems to show what is most popular by default, not the newest. If you change the filter to 'Latest' or 'Last 24 Hours', the content updates, but the URL doesn't."
I believe watchthatpage would, it'll show a lot of updates because of the bumping though & threads falling off first page. In which case, you could probably shoestring something together with:
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=1
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=2
http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management?page=3
You're right though, it's going to be messy. I'm not 100% sure if it will respect the "bumps" and only pick up new posts though. It's worth a shot!

Thanks, Brent. I guess the tricky parts is that the category pages aren't unique. For example, this is the page I want to watch: http://www.seomoz.org/q/reputation-management
But that page seems to show what is most popular by default, not the newest. If you change the filter to 'Latest' or 'Last 24 Hours', the content updates, but the URL doesn't.
Would the tools you suggested get around that somehow?
-
I would look at WatchThatPage. As long as their as the page is not sitting behind a login and has a specific URL, watchthatpage may be a viable option.
If you want to get fancier, look into IFTTT. Let me know if you want specifics on this, I could probably help you out this afternoon.
Good question & idea!

Rank tracking in Excel via MOZ API?
Hi there, i hope someone knows the solution to this problem. I created/ copied the "advanced Excel Keyword Analysis Report" that Dan Peskin was kind enough to share, you can find it here: http://moz.com/blog/how-to-build-an-advanced-keyword-analysis-report-in-excel. Now i m looking for a solution to rank my Keywords by using an API, preferably the MOZ API. My keywords are alligned in a column "Keword List", which will be regularly updated. Next to this column i would like to have a column with the corresponding rank. Is there a automatic solution, or do i have to do it manually?

Is there a way to specify what SEOmoz classes as duplicate content?
Hi all, Currently working through the laundry list of errors and warning on our company's 24 websites. Due to the ridiculous amount of on page links and the sheer volume of products on our sites, much of the descriptive text is similar, following a strict pattern to best mention our USPs and the like. Of course we use a CMS, which means that all the pages look the same and draw this information from the style sheet. Anyways, to the problem at hand. I have been tasked with reducing the "error" count on the SEOmoz admin panel, the problem being SEOmoz is reporting duplicate page content, when they are different, but similar products, for example, 35, 45 and 55 litre refrigeration units. Is there a way in which I can specify what classes as duplicate content, or make the duplicate content report more restrictive, so that everything HAS to be the same for this error to show. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

SEOmoz Dashboard Report: Crawl Diagnostic Summary
Hi there, I'm noticing that the total errors for our website has been going up and down drastically almost every other week. 4 weeks ago there were over 10,000 errors. 2 weeks ago there were barely 1,000 errors. Today I'm noticing it's back to over 12,000 errors. It says the majority of the errors are from duplicate page content & page title. We haven't made any changes to the titles or the content. Some insight and explanation for this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Gemma

What SeoMoz tools should I use to track the sucess of my SEO efforts and find possible linking partners?
HI All, I am a new user to SEO moz pro and I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. We are adding a new product category to an existing site and I am wondering what tools to use to track our SEO efforts to build ranking for these new products. I have already started a campaign that tracks the ranking of our primary keywords but I am wondering if there are other tools I should be using as well. Currently our SEO strategy is centered around link building. I have been approaching sites that have content related to our products and offering to write articles, guest blogs, and create educational resources that benefit the sites users and have specific anchor text linking back to our site. Since we are trying to build rank for a new category of products should I be linking to the general product category page or should I try to link to sub categories or individual products? Also I have used the juicy link finder to help me identify related sites that I can approach but I haven't received very many good leads. Is there a more specific way to use the tool or another tool that I should try? If you have any suggestions about other SEO strategies/activities that we should be pursuing please share your ideas! Thanks!
