Welcome to the Q&A Forum

To answer your questions:

Yes, we are rolling PRO users into the beta slowly. We expect all PROs to have access to Moz Analytics by the second week in September at the latest. You'll be able to toggle between PRO and Moz Analytics as you get used to it. (One feature we haven't finished porting is custom reports, and you'll definitely be able to still access PRO to grab those.) When you have access, you'll get an email inviting you to try it, and when you log-in into our site to use the tools, there will be an in-app message also telling you that you have access. So it will be very apparent if you have access.

Yes, the Search section mostly has features that are the same as the current PRO application. The new features include more traffic data, an entire brand and mentions section (a lot based on Fresh Web Explorer data, but in more regular way), some retuning of the social tools, a much better UX/UI experience, more integration with Help documentation if you get stuck, and a main dashboard that provides a "health" type overview that we hope you can show off to clients/boss/etc who don't say care about granular inbound marketing work.

Make sure you're letting us know about any bugs with that feedback tab.

Oh, no! That's terrible. I hope you're feeling well and can fill in the gaps with the videos.

It is indeed true! All MozCon goers will have access to the videos as part of their ticket price. Videos will be up within 1-2 months.

Hi Jean!

The MozCon videos are currently being edited so they're not quite ready yet. It usually takes us 1-2 months to finish them up and have them ready for you. When they are, you'll get an email with your access information.

Hope this helps!

Actually, the videos were included in the MozCon ticket price this year, so all attendees will get them!

We do indeed have a Facebook Group for MozCon!

We actually only have 1 party this year, which is on Tuesday night. (Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.)

But there are plenty of folks doing other meetups and lots of fun Monday and Wednesday nights!

Have no fear, MozCon will be recorded, and videos will be available in the coming months after MozCon.

We don't have a code for SMX East, and I'm not sure that we had one last year. As Matt pointed out below, our codes are always on our perks page.

That said, if you're interested in coming to MozCon, July 8th-10th, you can use the code SMXMOZ to get $100 off.

Best of luck!

Oh, I should add that they requested quite a bit of information about our rebranding. We ended up sending them: our new URL and it's whois, our trademark number on our new name, an internal slide deck about the rebranding, and a pretty long statement about what we were doing. We're pretty lucky here at Moz that our name change wasn't a huge state secret, but we were pretty surprised about how much documentation they wanted.

Hi Eric,

We definitely worked directly with Facebook to do these changes. They flipped both the name change and the vanity URL change on their end and did the 301 redirect from our old page.

If you go into your "admin" section on your FB page and into the "basic information" by the "name" field, you'll see a link to "request change."

Facebook's pretty invested in getting businesses on there, so they seemed to be very responsive about this.

Hope that helps!

So I'm completely bias as I'm a Mozzer and one of the Mozzers who runs MozCon.

With that said, MozCon is definitely my favorite conference. Last year was both the first year I helped run MozCon and the first year I attended it. I knew all the pieces, and I was blown away by the caliber of the content and the speakers. The topic runs a little intermediate advanced, especially if the topic is primarily SEO-focused, and the speakers themselves are incredibly smart and true experts in their topics. Most conferences to me are really hit or miss, but MozCon was one where I felt that I learned at every session. (I've been in the industry for 6 years.) The single session, one room format with keynote-style talks really suites my learning style and my need for community (live-tweeter right here). (And Seattle is awesome!!)

My second favorite one is SearchFest PDX. Their speaker quality is superb. Though you have to pick between sessions. I found the community pretty great here too. And the year I went, it was right by the food trucks which I can't stay away from in PDX. I felt the sessions were really tailored by topic so you could chose to go on the track you knew and learn something or skip around to learn something new.

If you want to talk to Matt Cutts or get all fannish around him, SMX is the conference to go to. As except for the "celebs" of search or a specific keynote, it's panels, speakers get less time to talk, which I go back and forth how much I like that. I find panels, due to the sheer numbers of speakers a conference organizer must find to talk on a similar topic, can sometimes be a large hit or miss between speakers. And they can also crash quickly if the moderators aren't on top of it.

SES has been a bit more a beginner's conference in my mind. I've found a lot more SMB and SEOs starting their careers going to these than other conferences. It's all panels with a few exceptions like SMX. Both SES and SMX accept pitches, and sometimes, you can get some rougher talks due to beginning speakers. (We ALL have to start somewhere!)

I haven't been to PubCon or any of Distilled's conferences (SearchLove, LinkLove), though I've heard PubCon to be more like an SMX and SearchLove to be closer to MozCon in styles.

Anyway, hope you found that useful. Feel free to ask about specifics you're considering, and really, I can answer about anything about MozCon.

I don't know how much sun he gets in Seattle and Portland though.

Try this:

Redirect 301 /a http://www.domain.com/x

There shouldn't be any coding issue.

Glad that you're enjoying the Mozinars!

If you're making your image as a true background image, you won't be able to make it clickable. However, if you input the image as a regular image, you can put a link around both the image and the text, and it will all be clickable. You can overlay text on regular images using CSS positioning and z-index.

Hey all,

Sorry for the slow response to this. Unfortunately, it looks like a group of those videos are messed up. We're looking into fixing them. But honestly, I'm not sure we still have those videos anywhere but where they're archived in Wistia (our video streaming service).

Thanks for your understanding.

If you set up the http://example.com to http://www.example.com for the entire domain, then you don't have to worry about the other pages. You can do this by putting the following code in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

They aren't yet. But should be this week. I've assigned this question to Abe, who's our Helpster that's in charge of uploading them. He'll let you know when they are.

Yes, that was one was recorded (and we plan on recording all of them, but had some technical difficulties with the first ones). The recording will go up on our webinars page: http://www.seomoz.org/webinars

Enjoy!

We're currently looking to revamp our webinars. Soon to be announced.

That said, our next webinar that's officially on the calendar -- but hasn't been added to the website -- will be on 11/20 with Rand! https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/540493798

You can also catch us on Techspections webinar this week talking about Twitter Growth tips and Followerwonk: http://techspectations.org/conferences/online-seminars-2/

We've also done a couple recent ones with Hubspot. Rand and Dharmesh did one about the Industry Survey: http://www.hubspot.com/state-of-seo-and-internet-marketing/ and they have this upcoming q&a on Thurs: https://offers.hubspot.com/webinar-qa-with-rand-fishkin-and-dharmesh-shah

Plus, Ruth did one with Trada: http://www.slideshare.net/TradaPaidSearch/ppc-and-seo-how-to-invest-in-both-with-seomoz-and-trada

We actually had our last one in July! It just got change to free as Everett did a follow up blog post on it. The free ones are further down the page. (Just keep scrolling!)

Hi David,

We actually did an e-commerce one in July, but we made it Free since he did a follow-up blog post. The free webinars are located further down the page.

We're currently doing some revamping on the webinars, so stay tuned!

-- Erica

We actually had a webinar at the end of July about e-commerce. It was changed to "free," as the author did a follow-up blog post, so you'll find it further down the page with the free ones.

We're hoping soon to have more.
