Are there any plans for a new SEOmoz ranking factors report?
-
The latest SEOmoz search ranking factors report I seem to find is dated 2011 http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors - any plans for an updated version at all?
-
Wow that's very exciting to hear, many thanks for the update Peter.
I can't imagine how much data he has been sifting through since his 2011 report. His next report will likely have a profound effect on how SEO's steer their departments.
-
Dr. Matt Peters presented some preliminary data at SMX Advanced today (6/11) and will be presenting more data at MozCon next month. I'm not sure when the full report will go out, but it should happen yet this summer.
-
I am still anxiously waiting for this report!
-
Thanks for the update Dr. Pete.
I was just looking for the 2013 update. Excited to see the new info
-
Thank you Dr Pete, very exciting news indeed!!

The short answer is: Yes
We're actually working on collecting the data for a 2013 report, but we don't have a firm ETA at this point. One of our new team members on Data Science is almost full-time on ranking factors - it's a project we take very seriously. Every time we do it, though, it gets a bit harder and more complicated.

Hi, Guys I run a small company in england. I've been constantly ripped off by other seo companies. Im have my 1st child and really cannot afford the cost of a company to do this. I have just joined SEO mom look like a really great platform. Is there any advice on how i can rank my website. I am willing to put the time in myself and can devote late nights to try and succeed. Any advice on where to start links etc would be really greatly received. Thank you all.

What keywords will this page possibly rank for ... tool?
Hi all, I'm looking for a tool that will look at a web page that you submit to it and tell you what keywords it thinks the page is targetted towards and thus hopefully rank for. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Hopefully this type of tool will help us understand why page A is being ranked for keyword X when page B is actually the page that should be being ranked for that keyword. The only tool I have really found so far is http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html I dont want to tell the tool what keywords I am looking at, as with Moz On page grader. Background reason (and possibly some one maybe able to shed some light on this also). We list a group of products... Nextbase Click 9 Lite, Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo and Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo Deluxe. All 3 are similar but very different products and each has its own page on our site. For the keyphrase "Nextbase click 9 lite" currently in Google we are listed for the pages containing the "Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo" and "Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo Deluxe"... but not the actual specific product page that targets the "Nextbase Click 9 Lite" product. Thus my reason for wanting to try such a tool that may help me understand why this is. Thanks for any hints, tips or pointers.

Help Finding Specific SEOMoz Blog Post - Help meh puhleeze
Hi everyone! Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I'm having trouble finding a specific blog post (from the SEOMoz blog), that was pertaining to content writing. I think (but could be wrong), that it was written by Rand, but I'm having the most difficult time finding it. The overall theme of the post was about Writing/Blogging about topics OUTSIDE of whatever your niche is. I didnt bookmark the thread (doh!), but the theme of it was to basically not just write about stuff pertaining to your niche on your blog. but to write about other topics as well (I.E if I have a site about blue widgets, not only writing about blue widgets). Is there anyone that is familiar with the post that I am referring to that could possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks a ton

Developing A Survey To Assist With SEO Plan
Hello everyone, I searched through the forums to see if this has come up but it appears that it has not. I am in the process of developing an SEO plan for a client as part of an educational research project. As part of general research, we are planning on sending out a survey/questionnaire to all of the client's contacts in order to help us develop the SEO plan. Obviously a big emphasis would be placed on keywords (i.e. what keywords would you use if you were looking for ______) but there are other areas to look at as well. So, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions regarding the types of questions to ask in a SEO research project like this. What would you ask? What would you be interested in? If clarification is needed, please let me know.

Does anyone know if there are UK SEOMoz training courses I can attend?
I'd really like to find a one-day course where I could have it all explained and all my questions answered. I've been using SEOMoz for a month or so but I have many unanswered questions and feel that the user guide doesn't explain things, it just tells you what you can do, but not necessarily why.

Machine Learning - Randomness in Search Engine Ranking Algorithms
I believe, sometimes you may 'deserve' the first position, but get #3. And of course, sometimes you may deserve #3 and instead be #1. All due to a 'randomness factor' in search engine algorithms. I've been holding this hypothesis for quite sometime. Really, it started when I learned about SEOmoz using machine learning to better investigate SEO best practices. I suddenly found myself wanting to learn more about machine learning, and the implications of using it for SEO. I'm by no means able to utilize machine learning myself, but I it appears unsupervised learning would have a real chance of cracking search engine algorithms. Hey, even Stuxnet was cracked! Surely Google/ Bing would know (and account for) this, right? We can agree they'd obviously prefer a highly skilled mathematician not be able to crack the code. Therefore, I'm led to believe that search engines use some sort of randomness in their rankings. Maybe not much. Perhaps not all the time. But if a random percentage of search results, had a random variable of sorts included in their calculations... wouldn't that be enough to prevent the vast majority of cracking attempts? Thoughts, opinions, criticism? Thanks.

How does SEOMoz create its graphics ? :)
This is definitely bit off-topic though could not resist asking it... I am in love with graphics (images) SEOmoz creates for its trainings I would like to know what software/tool is used to create them I am an educator myself and my students will love to learn from such engaging pictures rather boring text.
