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!

SEOMoz reports and 404 errors
My SEOMoz report shows a 404 error, found today for this url: http://globalheavyhaul.com/google.com i do not have this anchor text anywhere on my website. How did Roger figure out that somebody looked for that page? Do I need to worry about 404 errors that are the result of user mistakes, instead of actual bad links?

Linking C Blocks - SEOMoz says its a good thing?
In the competitve analysis, one competitor have more Linking C Blocks, Seomoz has a tick by it almost like its a better thing. Surely a site with the same administrative relationship is not going to help you as much from a linking point of view.

Seomoz Customer Service does anyone feel let down
I would like to know if anyone else feels let down by seomoz and their customer service. I will give you a couple of examples why i feel let down. I contacted customer services over an issue a couple of weeks a go and never got an answer from them, and the second issue is the private question that you can ask. I asked many days ago and it was an important question and it has still not been answered. I am just wondering what we are paying for by using this site and if other customers of this service feel let down like me.

What's Your SEOmoz Favorite?
Obviously, SEOmoz is full of awesomeness. But I'm curious as to what sections, tools, etc. of SEOmoz are the users' favorites? For me, it's a close race between the blog, Linkscape/Open Site Explorer, and the search overlay tool on the Mozbar. What are your favorites?
