Why Even Publish Dates for the Next OSE Data Set?
-
I just noticed on the Linkscape calendar the update that was supposed to happen yesterday is pushed back to the 6th.
It would be better not knowing. Is this a possibility? Or use the calendar internally, I don't care. Credibility in any announcement or claim looses muster once you do not do what you say you are going to do over and over again. Just a thought..

No worries, Brent. I don't think it's an attack at all. Feel free to not view the calendar.

lol, probably freshdesk after what they said about them on Twitter

Actually, a DDOS attack took Zendesk down today, it wasn't us.

Did you guys actually take it down now? Or is it just broken?

Thanks Jen.
I'm just not sold. The only reason I have a subscription anymore is to refresh out of amusement. It's sad really.
So now I will put much less weight in the dates on the calendar. Would a 5-10 day window surrounding the "next update" date be wise?
Sorry if this seems like an attack, I realize the service has many hands in on the project and you are trying to speak on behalf of many. Trying my best not to shoot the messenger here

Hi Brent!

Hey Brent,
I totally understand where you're coming from and believe me we're as frustrated by the date slipping as our customers are. We set a date to help people plan and we like to be open and transparent about the index and when it's coming out. It may seem like a good idea to not tell people when we've missed a date, but honestly that wouldn't be very TAGFEE of us.
Also, having a date on the calendar help people remember when indexes have gone out in the past. It's most definitely not perfect, but we're working very hard to get those indexes happening much faster than they currently are. We'd rather have people know what's going on, rather than wonder.
Hope that helps explain a bit!
Thanks,
Jen

So we have a rough idea when to expect the next Linkscape Update. This isn't an exact date, but more of an estimate or goal.

How do we change our domain settings for a changed domain?
We have changed the primary domain for an existing campaign we are tracking with SEOMOZ. How do we update the NEW domain name for our campaign so that we can maintain the existing set of data? We just want to change the URL that SEOMOZ is crawling. We have already updated the Google Analytics settings, so they should be consistent with SEOMOZ once we get the URL updated with you.

Changing the Timeframe of Historical Crawl Data
Hello, Just read a great post about the implications of duplicate content for sites after the most recent Panda update: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+seomoz+(SEOmoz+Daily+Blog) In the post is an image or crawl data history that shows months, not days or weeks, worth of trending data as it relates to duplicate content. So my question is this: How do I change my view/date range on my own campaigns so that I can view the trailing months of data rather than only what seems to be the past 4 weeks or so? This would really help me identify the impact of some on page changes we've recently made for a client. Many Thanks, Jared
