RE: What's the Story on Mozscape Updates?
Thanks for the update, Rand, and good luck on getting Mozscape V2 up and running ASAP. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see Moz emerge as the leader in this industry, bringing the tools up to par with the amazing community assets that you guys provide.
Looking forward to seeing the mustache disappear!

RE: HELP! How do I stop scraper sites - is there any recourse?
Thanks for the reassuring response, Alick.
Based on what you're saying (and that post from Niel Patel) it's a waste of time to even fill out Google form (these sites are not outranking us). Agree?

HELP! How do I stop scraper sites - is there any recourse?
Our site has lots of unique content and photos and it is constantly being scraped and posted on other websites. Most of these are no-name sites that pop up and exist for adwords revenue.
Aside from the fact that we don't want our content being copied, this is an SEO nightmare because they often link back to us from pages that are stuffed with keywords and have very low domain authority (it's a form of negative SEO).
My question is:
Does anyone have experience with fighting this phenonmenon?
What have you done that is effective?
Does anyone have experience with a service such as http://www.dmca.com/ProtectionPro.aspx ? Does it work/is it worth it?
Any input is appreciated!

Suggestion: Moz Domain Authority should take disavow into account
Since Moz is trying to predict how Google ranks your site, and Google claims to take the disavow file into account, I'd like to suggest that Moz allow webmasters to upload their disavow file. I imagine this data would be useful to Moz in determining Domain Authority (they may even think of other ways to use it and might even help come to a conclusion on the great debate) and it gives a chance for sites to improve their Moz DA when they are bombarded by spammy links.
I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on this idea, as well as the what Wizards of Moz have to say.

RE: Moving to https: Double Redirects
Thanks Matt.
In the meantime I found out that if we go to https we will lose a lotf our ad revenue (we rely heavily on Adsense) so we're going to hold off for now.

Moving to https: Double Redirects
We're migrating our site to https and I have the following question:
We have some old url's that we are 301ing to new ones. If we switch over to https then we will be forced to do a double-redirect for these url's. Will this have a negative SEO impact? If so, is there anything that we can do about it?

RE: Google Sitelinks Search Box
Thanks - but are SURE that adding the schema will make the box appear? (that was my original question)

RE: Google Sitelinks Search Box
I don't know what you're talking about. We have not added the code yet (we're doing it next week).
