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!

Magento webshop ranks bad on Category pages
Hi All! Our webshop is www.hond.nl. We operate it for about a year now and it is not ranking on our most important pages. Basically we have 3 types of pages: Category pages, Product pages and 'Splash' pages. The 2nd and the 3rd rank OK. But the 1st, the category pages not at all. While the category pages have the best (hand written, unique) and the most content. For example https://www.hond.nl/hondenvoer.html is not ranking on keyword 'hondenvoer' (position 140...) We have investigated quite thoroughly and did most common (moz) tests and can't find a reason why the category pages don't rank. (could it have something to do with the filters...?) If anybody can shed some light on it, we would be much obliged! Thanks, Sander

SEOmoz crawler not crawling my site
We set up a new campaign in SEOmoz on Friday. It is my understanding that the preliminary crawl can cover up to 250 and this has been our experience in the past. However, the preliminary crawl only went through 2 pages. This is a larger eCommerce site with many pages. Any ideas why more pages weren't crawled? We set up the campaign to track at the root domain level.

Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool?
Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool? For instance: - I have a client who uses a subdomain model to render your homepage and he has a competitor hosted in a subfolder. It appears to be impossible to do that kind of comparision at the SEOmoz campaign tool. Do you have some other way to do that?

SEOmoz bot and "noindex"
As a recent newbie to SEOmoz, I've been implementing some suggestions and doing a general tidy up. I removed URL's from our robots txt, and rolled out instead the noindex meta tag to pages we don't want indexed. But surprised to see issues that are now flagged from the last crawl by the moz bot from pages that have this meta tag? Does the SEOmoz bot not ignore this tag? Just want to make sure I've implemented it correctly, so the google bot does ignore it. Meta tag syntax is and is placed below the title tag. cheers Steve

SEOmoz Q&A down last few days
It seems the Q&A section had some issues since the 25th. Users could post new Q&As but they were not visible to most users. Roger was caught slacking! The issue appears to be resolved at this time. I just wanted to share to anyone who asked a question the past few days who did not receive a response you may wish to repost your question as many readers will not go back and check questions from prior days.

SEOmoz toolbar log in chrome wonky!
In Chrome, I'll start off not logged in to the toolbar. I'll click log in which forwards me to the SEOmoz login page. I'll login. Sometimes the toolbar will reflect this login and the metrics will poplulate in the PA and DA, other times it won't. If I navigate to another page within the same tab, it may show metrics still, but it is also just as likely to show that I'm not logged in. If I open a new tab, the toolbar will show that I'm not logged in. I click the log in again but when directed to SEOmoz, it'll show that I'm already logged in. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when it'll work and when it won't. Seems a bit random, so am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and has been able to solve this logged in / not logged in problem. As a note, anytime I navigate back to the SEOmoz site, whether by opening a new tab or a new window, the SEOmoz site does show I'm logged in, while the toolbar shows I'm not. You can see a demonstration of the simultaneous logged in SEOmoz site and logged out SEOmoz toolbar in the attached screen shot. UPDATE Also having similar issues in firefox. Am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I changed my email address within the past few weeks. KQXxN.gif
