Difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API
-
Hi,
I probably put this question in a wrong category, so I'd like to ask again.
I am new in SEOmoz and writing this from Japan.
I have couple of questions and really appriciate if you can help me to understand SEOmoz. better.First of all, what is the difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API?
I signed up for 30days free trial and now continue being $99 PROmember.
Is that correct that rate limit is one request every 2 seconds with PRO?and also want to know about free API that I found after signed up for PRO.
Is there any restrictions on free API except for rate limit is one request every 10 seconds?The main reason I signed up for SEOmoz was to use the API link metrics, and because of the language I got really confused now.

understand. But there are some advanced people who want both . Just follow your competitor. I need both Because of issue and limitation. example you have a system only possible to see up to 10k backlink . But if I need 100k backlink analysis what I can do. also cost too high. No sense with 500$. how its possible majestic only charge 50$ provide us all everything including api access with 5 million backlink. I believe both will be same product in your seo moz. If you survey you will se most people use your competitor link metrics because reasonable and high. as a millionaire company seo experienced I see that how they sell the product. If you test it for few days you will see the response. Thousand of people serious interested your product also use seo moz product improve your sales. Most people want to use both link metrics for serious research.

They are different products, and different types of people want each product, so we have separate plans. There are people who only have the API and do not use Pro, and many people who use Pro who have no need for the API.

Thats is my question why pro membership and api seperate.
Paid access to Mozscape is separate from PRO membership.
We will get the access the api until pro membership expire.

Was the period at the end accidentally included? Try:

Hi! We have more information on this at http://apiwiki.moz.com/free-vs-paid-access.

But
I believe seo moz give us api access free for pro user. please look your competitor such as majestic seo. if we their membership receive free api use ability. So if seo moz do it . Its helpful for us no need extra more payment. its not realistic a seo moz pro membership don't have access to their api even after pay 99$ per month.I hope seo moz will give us free access with api. atleast for seo moz pro user.

Thanks Martijn.
It helped me to understand more about the difference between those. -
Hi Shinya,
Let me try to help you out, hopefully if I say something wrong the Moz staff will correct me. The difference between SEOmoz Pro and the Mozscape API is that the API only covers details about the data you see in Open Site Explorer. As it's an API it will provide you with raw data.
The SEOMoz Pro campaigns will give you via dashboards insights in how your pages are marked up with the right code for search engines.
You're right about the rate limit of requesting every 2 seconds. There's a difference for the API besides the difference in rate limits for paying customers. You won't get acces to some parts of the API for retrieving metrics. You can find a complete overview of the methods you can request over here.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to submit a page to the seomoz index?
We recently got added to dmoz and botw and would like to see those links considered in our domain authority as we are tracking our progress and comparing ourselves to other sites. Is it possible to submit links to the seomoz index manually to have those tracked? (If I am even understanding this correctly)

Is there a way you can determine the time SEOMoz crawls your website
I'm a new user to SEOMoz Pro, and having created a number of campaigns I wanted to know if you can set / schedule when SEOMoz crawls your website? Ideally I want to prevent SEOMoz from crawling my site at certain times, but I can't seem to find a way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

I really can't get my head around what "set of skills" I need to know to be able use the SEOmoz API? And other APIs for that reason. Do I need a programming skills, or just knowledge how each specific API works(+ common sense)? Or both? I'm sorry if this is off topic but the main reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use the SEOmoz API. If you could provide a link or two about where I can start to learn about how this works, I would really appreciate that!0 -

Why are the rankings of my keywords different to rankings from other programmes such as 'Access my Lan' and 'Firefly'? Does SEOMoz count 'Google Places and Maps' in their rank count? Im thinking this could explain the difference

SEOmoz vs Google Webmaster Tools on incoming links
I'm working on basic SEO for http://queueassoc.com. Google has indexed the non-www verions of the pages and these are what the SERPS return SEOmoz toolbar shows that all of the incoming links juice goes to the www. versions of the pages, none to the non-www version. Yesterday I set up GWMT for the site, submitted a sitemap with the www version of the pages and set the default address to the www version. I had to verify both versions of the site in order to do this and in looking at the non-www version I saw that Google had all the incoming links there and none in the www.version, the opposite of what SEOmoz shows. Is this just because Google only has the non-www versions in its index? Will they show the links to the www version once they get them in the index? I'm worried about losing Google Page Rank value or SEOmoz DA by making this switch.

SEOMoz site crawlers created an issue for our servers
I have set up a number of campaigns with your pro tool. Unfortunately we have 7 sites on our server and our IT dept have said that we had an issue when your site crawlers visited for several sites at the same time - is there any way that I can retain the campaigns but have the sites crawled on request rather than automatically?
