Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jason, You can request the hosting company you're using block the hostnames below. You can also look for their IP addresses however note this is probably a waste of time because they are so easily changed. This is a tool that you can use if you do want to block by IP http://www.whatsmyip.org/whois-dns-lookup/ In many cases it shows me the hostname has more than one IP address. Better to block the host name itself then to deal with the IP's. Adding a web application firewalls that give you control will make a world of difference to your clients and yourself. Remember you can check if your site is infected for free by using the tools below. Simply put your domain in and run them to make sure you are not infected. http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ http://www.unmaskparasites.com/security-report/ https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795830?hl=en I definitely recommend adding one of the WAF's You Can http://www.incapsula.com/pricing-and-plans.html (free plan will help) https://sucuri.net/website-firewall/ ( Probably Best Value) or http://www.distilnetworks.com/ ( Incredible Bot Protection) darodar.com bestsub.com blackhatworth.com buttons-for-website.com casinobonustips.com cenoval.ru civilwartheater.com co.lumb.co cukwiki.com econom.co entourank.com hulfingtonpost.com ilovevitaly.co ilovevitaly.com make-money-online.7makemoneyonline.com priceg.com semalt.semalt.com seoairport.com seokicks.de serw.clicksor.com similarpages.com webstatsdomain.org ymlp.co Here is a list that will allow you to add multiple bad host names to a block list via using a comma in between the host names.

Will do thanks Keri

Hi Martijn, I am extremely happy you feel the same way. I would really like to see a real-time analytics update running the companies if it does not harm Moz in any way shape or form. For instance I get Hubspot, Kissmetrics and Google analytics updates every day. I know that the product they're working on for analytics is awesome everything they've done has been spectacular so I don't think I'm going to be let down. I don't know if there not comfortable putting it out there right now because it is in the beta stage however you'd think there were just be some way to show a level of interest waning or increasing. To everyone at Moz reading this thanks you for allowing me to type your name shorter 1st off it's a big deal. You know I although I really do not type it (I dictate it) regardless it's much easier. I am talking about placing something in the actual website whenever you're on that shows metrics in a simple manner a scale whatever showing new visitors coming in under new branding only verse having to use what's the obvious to many still I type in SEOmoz when I forget I get redirected. I like to know the stats and I'd like to have real-time. It would be something nobody can argue with when it occurs they would have instant information at their fingertips about a medium-sized business on its way up to being a large when they changed their domain along with their entire branding. For instance what would you give to of been there when Federal Express became FedEx we have all the data now thank God rand has the guts like Fred Smith from Federal Express oh forgive me FedEx. I remember as a boy watching the television and them saying "Federal Express is now FedEx  we hope you like it" the things bonding them are each CEO was told this is not going to work by someone. Fred Smith had designed FedEx at Yale only to receive a F on his billion-dollar idea. Rand took an enormous risk to drop out of school and start what is now Moz. Each ran remarkable companies that earned trust. For instance FedEx was believed to be impossible at the time to ship a package overnight anywhere FedEx employed people to drive their own vehicles to deliver packages. They were tested by Xerox sent multiple overnight packages all over with nothing in them just to see if they actually would get there on the scheduled date. Moz had started in a home with Rand and his mother trying to optimize real estate on the web. This turned into what I believe is the most trusted authority in search on the web the entire World Wide Web that is amazing. I think it's more remarkable than FedEx. I don't think we need that one did not use the Internet and that the other might be replacing a lot of letters by using and seeing that vision of how far they can actually go. Both companies and CEOs acted very similarly in my opinion. Each corporations name was hard to forget once you get used to there companies first brand name. More importantly each company essentially compacted their name where if you were to give somebody 10 guesses you know that if they are familiar with the brand they're going to get it right probably on the 2nd or 1st guess. I would like to ask Moz to put a stat today up that way nobody misses or does not read the case study we actually live it and be part of the history of this great company. One stat a day please I think it would benefit the community and be interesting to everyone. However if it is not best for the company I completely understand and will never say another word about it. Sincerely, Thomas

You get 1 million points you get points play spin the bottle with Roger. I heard that it's a rumor on search engine land. Not really you do get something pretty special which whenever Moz has stated that the past they have exceeded my expectations. I could say some other crude jokes, but it would really not be appropriate.

Hi Thomas, If you could send a screenshot over to our help team, that'd be great. Thanks! Keri

Hi Matt & Keri, I'm glad you are still feeling as I do that the point system needs to be brought up more. I just answered a question and believe it or not was even confirmed by another person with the rank journeymen get the person who is new unfortunately did not bother to post even a answered or non-answered I think they just split. I agree with you Matt wholeheartedly and I would love to see to a whiteboard Friday on this not only that Rand I challenge you to do it done in one take. I'm kidding that's not much of a challenge for you but regardless get the sharpie that does not to Mark and fix this plague on our Q&A your friend, Thomas

Will do thank you for the invite

Hello, Yes I have picked out a name registered it with the state and federal trademark (I used LegalZoom I have used others and LegalZoom might be slightly more but I like it they give you a lot for your money.) Blueprint Marketing LLC The company name is now changed from QuiZick Internet Marketing to Blueprint Marketing LLC I want to thank you much for your words of wisdom. I also would really like to know more about how it applies within SEOmoz things such my MOZ URL. And e-mail address profile and whatnot. Should I change those out I guess without worrying about any problems? Thank you kindly for the wise words. I did get the old site to rank for local keywords but as the domain was less than 90 days of age. Many of them penalized by Google sandbox pretty badly as it had no Moz rank whatsoever. This domain is 10 years of age I will move/migrate it to Dyn DNS for a 10 year term to get in Google's good graces as when I purchased the domain it gave me a single year or registration even though it is old I would rather not lose this one as the contest for the logo will be finished by the end of the day tomorrow (I used 99 designs) some pretty amazing results we got over 200 submissions then switch my host from Media Temple to Single Hop so when my site is finished by the end of the month I will be extremely happy. Right now we have the site being built by somebody recommended by SEOmoz I am unfortunately not a designer. I think after reading so much on video lately I am going to sit this one out with the same player on SEOmoz & HubSpot I'm using limelight right now and honestly I got to looking at prices and they want way too much in comparison to what you get from these other video companies. Please let me know what you think of my name change as well. Thomas Von Zickell CEO Blueprint Marketing LLC http://www.blueprintmarketing.com tzickell@blueprintmarketing.com
