All in favor of an "Announcements" category section say MOZ!
-
So this is just a thought. I am not Rand, therefor I am not the Moz man himself, and therefor I am not telling anybody how to run this website or forum. But, I've been thinking... and usually that a dangerous thing. So many times when I answer a question I end it with:
- "Keep me posted"
- "Keep us updated"
- "Good Luck"
In the same light there have been plenty of times when I have had my questions answered by people like EGOL, RobertFIsher, KeriMorget and they have said that they have wanted me to keep them posted.
Now sure, some of you are sitting there being Melancholy Mozzers thinking that all those wonderful people are just being polite by adding some nice parting words... but what if I they are being Sincere Seoers? What if I WANT to fill them in and don't want to ask a question? What if... THEY REALLY LIKE ME?!?!
I could also send a DM to those 3 people, I mean let's get honest I'm not THAT popular.... but I can dream can't I?
Again, this isn't really an SEO question, more of a thought on where I'm supposed to give updates on my project. In all honesty I do want feedback on what I'm doing, and sometimes I don't even know what questions I'm supposed to ask!

Don't forget too that most of us who reply to questions also enable the ability to be notified by email anytime another reply is added. So even months later, if you update the question with a new response, most of the original participants will get a heads-up about your addition.

I would love it there was a project tracking feature!
Something where I can plug in any changes that were made things like that. Almost like Basecamp + Moz Yet something that I could share with the forum.
I will def keep that in mind and make sure I update my questions!
-
As Keri suggests, I think that it would be great to add an update to the original question.
We would like to hear if you tried anything and how it worked. That type of sharing is a way for everyone to learn - especially if you tried something that we suggested and it didn't work out.
I am glad that you are interested in doing this. So many people ask a question, we spend time to reply and they never even return to the post to disagree with us.

Yeah, I did notice that, I wasn't exactly sure as to how it functioned. Thank you for clarifying the timeline too!

Usually, the best place for an update is within the thread itself. Did you know that we have an "active" tab (which links to http://moz.com/community/q/active ) ? This will sort questions by most recent activity, so even if the question is six months old, if it has a new comment, you'll be able to see that come up on the home page of that tab.
Keeping the question updated within the question is great for people who come to the site a year down the road and wonder what happened in a particular situation, especially if they are not a Pro member and can't add a question to the thread.

German blog post with mutated vowel. Page optimization says keyword is not used.
Hey guys! I'm trying to optimize for a keyword that includes a mutated vowel (ä for example). In the URL I simply put it as ae (which most sites that I checked do). For whatever reason it says the keyword is not used on the site at all - which isn't true. Is this a known problem? Haven't found anything in the forums. Thanks for the help. Florian

Community Discussion - What's Been Your Experience With Moz Content?
When the content developed Moz Content, I was excited as can be about having another tool in the content marketing and content strategy repertoire. I knew it could and would help marketers better identify the content they should be creating and make it easier for them to move the needle for their brands. Since it's been available, I've had fun using Moz Content, seeing it as a great vehicle for flattening the learning curve for content ideation and creation. In a recent post, Here's How I'm Using Moz Content for Mining Local Link Opportunities, David Farkas described how brands can use Moz Content to better create localized content. I'd like to know how you're using it, or if you're using it: Have you tried Moz Content? And if not, what's stopping you? If you have used it, what are you really liking? What would you change? What, if any, additional features you'd like to see added? What tips can you share for helping others get the most out of the tool? Looking forward to reading the comments below.

Moz Local | Download Template
Dear Moz I've received your email about Moz Local. A fantastic tool but it does not allow you to download a template. Clicking 'Download this template' simply reloads the page. I am testing it under incognito mode of Chrome with no add-ons Thank you!

Can we export branded reports from Moz Analytics Beta yet?
Hey guys, Just looking around the new Moz-alytics (droooool) and it is superb, but are we able to export and build reports from it yet? Or is this something that will be in the final release? Apologies if this has already been asked. Regards! Joe Sturgess

Can Moz use canconical links to prevent notices about duplicate content issues?
if so how do we enable this - we've an average size site with a few hundred products but they appear in multiple categories, canonical url points to it's primary category (but a new page exists for each section... so for /cat-a/abc there will be another page cat-b/abc and again but the canonical points to cat-a always for that product) basically I see this kind of duplication error / notice as a false positive... help me

How do I get Moz to crawl my site?
If I'm not mistaken, Moz will crawl my site once a week and let me know of any errors, notices etc.. But can I ask them to crawl once I have updated all the errors? or do I have to wait for them to do this automatically?

Moz.com Report a Problem or Provide Feedback
Two things. First, I could not find exactly where to report an issue or provide feedback about the website. I don't need to contact about Moz Analytics or any other products. I just want to provide feedback about the Moz Blog. I think it would be nice to be able to report an issue or provide feedback to "Roger" and have that item sent to the appropriate department for review. A lot of websites tend to use "webmaster@example.com" for this, but anything would work. My suggestion is to offer a feedback form on the Contact Moz page. Second, the issue I wanted to report has to do with blog comments. I left a comment early this morning and, with me being on Central Time and the timestamp for comments using Seattle local time, I was surprised to see that my comment had been posted "2 hours ago" immediately after I clicked "Submit." I presume this text is dynamic and that, in Seattle, you see "seconds ago" or something but, being in Wisconsin, I see "2 hours ago." This is confusing mainly because I have no idea how long ago other comments may have been posted. P.S. There isn't a question category for the Moz Blogs so I am choosing Moz - Other Research Tools. I view the blogs as a Product Moz provides so maybe adding "Moz - Blogs" to the Moz Product Help list of categories would be appropriate.
