Moz is no longer maintaining the directory project, but it will be relaunched by a third party in the near future. We'll update that post when it's relaunched.

Moz has recently had a little bit of experience with a rebrand, changing domains, changing URLs, implementing redirects, and a variety of other fun things to keep us busy. Ruth Burr, our in-house SEO, is giving a Mozinar that talks in-depth about this migration on Thursday, with a chance for you to ask questions at the end. If you're not able to attend the webinar, we'll have it online for download within two days.

You can reserve your spot at http://moz.com/webinars, as well as see all the past webinars we've done, and what else is scheduled in the future.

I would suggest the wikipedia entry be edited to reflect that I'm much more focused on Cupcakes than Gummy Bears.

It depends on the site and the topic. At YouMoz, we've seen posts from under 500 words to over 10,000 words, though usually not much shorter than 1000 words -- usually in the 1000 to 3000 word range.

There is more to quality than quantity. Think less of how many words, and think instead of how much meaning and information are you conveying with those words. I can blab on for 2000 and not say much, or I can have a powerful post in 500 words.

Here's a post I recently wrote about what makes a good YouMoz post. This is not what every site is looking for in a post, but it can give you a lot of ideas (with actual examples) of what one readership has found to be good quality.
