Hmm I don't think it's fair to say that SEObook has died over the past few years. Aaron may have focused on other things, but that doesn't mean it's dead. Knowing how difficult it is for our team to keep our rank tracker working well at all times, I'd say you'd be pretty hard pressed to be able to hire a developer to create a tool similar to Aaron's. There are a lot of intricacies you have to take into consideration, and it's probably smarter to simply help Aaron's team improve, rather than start from scratch, eh?

RE: Alternatives to SEO Book's Rank Checker
Hey Aaron,
Your opinion always matters here, and it's totally fair for you to jump in and respond to this thread. I also do tend to agree that it's not ok to request changes to a tool if you're not helping to pay for it, which is probably why we give away education for free but 95% of our tools are paid.
However, if you jump into the Moz Q&A we do ask that you stick to our rules and be as TAGFEE as possible. This means not calling people names, and putting people down. I've edited your response to remove those pieces, but have left everything else. Please know that we value your opinion and appreciate you jumping in here.
Thanks,
Jen

RE: Measuring reach and engagement on all social media platforms
Sadly there is not a way to do this in Moz. Your best bet is to do a trial of True Social Metrics, as they have all that info! You can also check out Rival IQ, and see which works best for you.
Hope that helps! -

RE: Tool for checking open graph
Hey Michael!
Most of the ones I know of and have used are usually one-off URLs. I was interested in seeing if there was anything out there though, and I did find Sitebeam.net. I just took the free trial and it looks like there is a bulk open graph test in there. It might be worth looking into more!
Hope this helps,

RE: Meta Refresh
Hi Vijay,
You can learn more about the meta refresh here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection. Generally it's not good for SEO, as in it doesn't really pass link equity. So, if the crawl test says you don't have any, then that's a good thing.

Hope this helps!

RE: How do you feel when Moz marks one of your questions as "answered?"
Yep! I totally read it.
I'd say this part "For us, we find that many people don't come back to mark something as answered, which is why we changed it around a bit. We use the "answered" bit, as a way to see how many questions get asked, replied to, AND "answered." answers that. We want to see how many questions were answered, and the original posters are notorious for NOT marking things as answered. Even after we started emailing them asking them to mark things as answered.I'm not saying it's perfect, just giving you our thoughts on why we do it. Also, I don't believe anything happens automatically. But Associates and staff are asked to mark a question as answered if they feel they've answered a question. A lot of this comes from the old days of "private questions" where if we didn't mark a question as answered, we could literally spend hours and hours going back and forth with a member.
Hope this helps bring light to why we do things that way. As I mentioned above, we're totally open to changing, and I'm definitely not trying to say our way is best. Just giving insight as to WHY we do it.
Thanks!

RE: How do you feel when Moz marks one of your questions as "answered?"
Hi Dana,
Thanks for bringing this up! It's an interesting topic for sure, and actually something we've discussed. For us, we find that many people don't come back to mark something as answered, which is why we changed it around a bit. We use the "answered" bit, as a way to see how many questions get asked, replied to, AND "answered."
I'm not sure I totally agree that by marking something as answered, means that it's shutting down the discussion. In our mind it simply means that the original poster got the answer they needed. It doesn't necessarily mean that the discussion has ended. But this does mean that if it's not clear, we should re-think it.
We'll definitely take this into consideration though in the coming months as we discuss changes/upgrades/etc. to Q&A. I love that people care enough to even bring this stuff up!! We may reach out to you if we come up with some changes/solutions, and get your thoughts. I also like the idea of proposing some ideas here in Q&A for changes to Q&A and see how people respond.
This gets me very excited!Thanks again for bringing this up, and getting this conversation started. I know we'll be talking about it soon because of it!

RE: Connect to Facebook pages
Hi!
Thanks for the question! When you connect your Facebook account to Moz Analytics, we only have access to the page that you designate. We don't have access to your profile, or any other pages you don't specify. So, when you grant Moz access, you'll pick the page to connect, and we don't have access beyond that.
Hope that helps!

RE: How do I connect my Google + business page to Moz
Hi! First it will connect to your G+ account, then you'll need to specify the Title and specific G+ URL you want to track.
Thanks,

RE: Can any of the MOZ APIs give me the top 10 google results for a keyword?
Andrew,
The other folks are correct. Right now we do not have an API that has this information.
Thanks!

RE: Trying to add google+ to a new campaign (remote-authentication.failure)
Hi Robert,
Sorry about the issues you're having! I just tested this out and had the same issue, but I realized that I was trying to re-add an existing account. Can you see if this is the same thing happening to you? Check out the screenshot I attached for reference.
Thanks!

RE: Why are my Custom Reports not auto emailing?
Hi Thomas,
I'm excited to hear you're diving into the custom reports.
The emails will send based on when you set up your report. Did you set it to daily or weekly, and when did you originally set it up? I'm curious if it just hasn't gone out yet.Thanks!

RE: My account keeps asking me to reauthorize it.
Hi Auke,
Yes, unfortunately you'll need to disconnect and reconnect those GA accounts in Moz Analytics as well.
Thanks,
Jen
