Even blackhat world wished me happy birthday... What up SEOmoz?
Sure do! Read to have your mind blown? I've seen the struggles you have been having with getting new users engaged. I get it... SEO is tough stuff after all - I'm here to help. Watch the attached video before continuing. Spoiler Alert - Watch video before reading How about combining gaming elements along with leader board type tracking of progress. Kind of like launching a campaign for a site (but now it will be called a game). You progress as if playing a game and the result is your site gets "SEO'd." The beautiful part about this, you track where other users get stuck / give up and how others have overcome these difficulties - share this data as part of the game. Build a big enough user base and what do you get? Precise answers to the hardest of SEO questions -> e.g. why did my rankings fall? because you did this, this and this! incoming thunder cats reference Machine learning Ho! I wouldn't suggest this idea to anyone but SEOmoz - it's hard but is totally doable for someone who created open site explorer. watch?v=8FpigqfcvlM

Why does SEOmoz use /blog/content-title vs /category/content-title? Any difference?
In my experience with content management solutions, it's easier (and thus more common) to keep all blog posts under the blog directory, then use categories in the URL and/or the Title tag (if necessary at all). That said, most of the time I find categories to be more useful for users, and less helpful for engines. So, to me the pros of using /category/content-title would only apply if the categories are very straightforward and short (which depends on your industry). For example, if you run a outdoor hobbies blog, and you have clear, distinct categories like backpacking, camping, hiking, fishing, and so on, then using the category URL structure would be great. However, if your blog is more specific (say backpacking only), your categories will start to become more convoluted and long, taking up a large part of the URL. In addition, this can cause unnecessary redundancy in your URLs, which can appear like keyword stuffing. Overall, I prefer to stick with /blog/content-title, and possibly include the category in the title tag if it's really important.
