SEOmoz Toolbar - Am I the only one who figured this out?
-
I have been using the SEOmoz toolbar for a while. In the course of a day, and with so many projects going on I end up having about 15-20 tabs in Firefox open at once. Because of the toolbar, my browsing session slows to a crawl and I hate to disable the toolbar because then I have to shut down the 10 projects I am working on. I usually close down my browser when I can't take it anymore and it feels like I am browsing on my 1990's palm device.
What I decided to do is install the toolbar on Google Chrome. I don't use this browser very often so now whenever I need to check out a website, I just use Chrome instead of Firefox.
Maybe there is a way to turn off the toolbar that I don't know about. Any other toolbar tips?

I have up to 40 tabs open in firefox and a machine with only 2GB of RAM and the seomoz toolbar installed and there is no slowing down due to the seomoz toolbar it must be being caused by something else!
-
If I disable the moz toolbar and restart Firefox, I don't have issues. If I keep the toolbar running with multiple tabs, session browsing gets progressively slower.
I think what happens is that the toolbar has to check page rank, domain authority.. etc so when you are doing general browsing, that slows down your session. Firefox does give memory low indications sometimes but can't tell if that's because of the toolbar working away or not. Haven't run those tests.

Are you sure it's the seomoz toolbar? Do you use any others? In the past, Firefox has been a bit of a memory hog, maybe it's still the case? It could be happening with 20 tabs open regardless of what toolbars you have installed.

Anyone using Yahoo Small Business? Not sure if SEOmoz works with YahooSB
I am not sure if SEOmoz is compatible with Yahoo Small Business. The crawl states that the title page is too long for over a hundred titles, but they are not. SEOmoz is taking the title page and the parent or catagory page and grouping together. Please only respond if you work SEO for Yahoo Small Business accounts. Would be glad to take discussion thread off line or show the SEOmoz report.

Is it possible to see Ranking data for longer than one week at a time?
The weekly ranking data is great for short-term analysis, but it would be great to be able to see ranking data in aggregate across an entire month, or 3-month time span. Being able to track ranking fluctuations over that amount of time makes it easier to spot trends and mark changes to website plans and how they worked over time. It also makes it easier to spot visitor trends based on rankings with Google Analytics numbers for keywords that don't get a lot of traffic on a weekly basis. Anyways, I can't seem to find any way to see ranking numbers over a larger timespan other than exporting each weekly ranking report and doing it manually. Is there a better way that I just haven't seen? Does anyone have a better solution that I'm just too stupid to think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SEOMoz Pro and Multiple Niche Sites
Currently I have 15 affiliate marketing sites and three blogs which are monetized. My budget dictates the base pro package so may I get some recommendations on how or if I can do analysis over time for all the sites. I ask this because it seems you would set your campaigns for long-term but I imagine you delete/modify/add campaigns to analyze different key words. Thanks for your help.
