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!

Seomoz legacy pages?
Hello, I am finding that I miss several of the old seomoz sections. The legacy tools in particular like the visual website comparison. Where is that now? Also, where is the ongoing list of the top 100 sites? So much was lost in the shift to MOZ, I hope some of the good old stuff is still available. Thank you, Nolan

Is there anything SEMRush Guru or Enterprise level has that I can't do with SEOMoz Pro?
Okay fellow in-house SEOs, I need some advice please. We are considering an upgrade from SEOMoz Pro to Pro Elite. For a business our size, this is a major investment. I need some compelling reasons why we should go with this upgrade in lieu of simply adding an upgraded membership at SEMRush. Aside from more keywords tracked and more pages crawled (We only have about 5,000 pages, so I'm not sure more pages crawled is even something we need). Right now, it seems the only benefit to us would be the ability to track 2500 more keywords. We don't need more campaigns and we don't need more pages crawled. An extra $300/month is a lot to pay just for the sole benefit of adding more keywords. The reason we are considering this is because we have 6-7 product lines that are all quite different from each other, different keywords, different competitors. All of these products lines are enormously competitive, so of course we want to track each (with competitors) separately so that when I build a Ranking Index (which I learned how to do beautifull thanks to this post by AJ Kohn a few days ago), that my Ranking Index is a truer picture of how we are doing for keywords related to specific product lines, against the right specific competitors. Because of the keyword limitations in SEOMoz Pro (1,000 max), we can't come close to covering everything. Is increasing our level at SEOMoz really the best, most affordable option to do what we want to do? I realize I might get some bias here, but we are really trying to research cost-effective options, as $4,790 is a huge investment for us. Thoughts?

SEOMoz Software
I want to start off with stating that i am truly an advocate of SEOMoz and the great stuff they have done for the inbound community that we all know and love. I've been an active member since July 2010 and a paying pro member since December 2010. The software has always been monumental in helping my clients achieve their goals. However, in the past few months i have received nothing short of buggy unreliable software. The keyword difficulty tool never returns difficulty results. The Adwords data has been gone since i can remember. The rank tracker tool is successfull close to 1 out of 5 times. OSE is updated terribly slow compared to competitors. Plus, I have had to write emails to get my campaigns to be manually refreshed to see new ranking data. I have simply missed deadlines because my data is always delayed or missing from the software. Am i an anomaly here? does anyone have these problems? I have been researching some new tools as a replacement but i have yet to find anything as robust as the old SEOMoz. I'd love some feedback. Cheers - Kyle

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls
I would like to ask for the possible problem plus solution on one of our campaigns. Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls. Before the last two crawls, SEOmoz crawls numerous pages and we can’t think of a possible reason for this error. For this particular campaign , there are no data --- no errors, warnings and notices. Thanks!

SEOMOZ tools are not helping!
So, I have a website www.mobikwik.com which provides mobile phone topup in India. I signed up for SEOMOZ Pro membership a little less than a month ago. For all our competitors , which rank above us in google as of today , I checked out two things a) competitive link analysis and b) on-page optimization. On b) , our home page had the best optimization for targeted keywords and the best score amongst all competitors who ranked above us. On a) , linkscape tools showed our moztrust and mozrank to be the best. Except for 2 competitors, our domain authority was also better than the rest. Inspite of all this, our website is ranked no more than 6 on google for all targeted keywords. We have the best quality links amongst our competitors. I am at a loss to understand this and how to improve our ranking. I have to make a decision whether to renew my SEOMOZ membership in 2 days time. Please help me decide!
