There has been discussion of this before, and one thing that stands out to me is the legal requirements that are involved with the scholarship itself and making sure that it's not biased, breaking any state laws, etc. It sounds like you may already be passed this point, but just wanted to also bring that up.

RE: Anyone familiar with these guys?
Yes, I've heard of them. They emailed me last year asking me to exchange links with them and my forum site that deals with model warship combat. I reported them to our lawyer for using the Roger Mozbot image and SEOmoz logo without permission.

RE: Negative SEO What you need to know!

RE: Update content or create a new page for a year related blog post?
Why not have a page and directory structure called /video-statistics, and put the most current year there. When the next year's stats come, put the previous year on its own page and link to it.That way, you're building links consistently to the most current version of the page.

RE: How long it takes DOMAIN/PAGE AUTHORITY to UPDATE?
We usually update once a month, and the next scheduled update is posted on the homepage of OSE at http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/.
Keep in mind that our index does change each month, so it's worthwhile to look at the DA/PA of your competitors too, and see how you changed in relation to their metrics.

RE: Good idea to use hidden text for SEO purposes due to picky clients not allowing additional content?
Can you afford to choose different clients?
Is there a way you can convince them of the business case of more information? Modify five medium-traffic pages with more information, and see how those products perform? Make it a business case, not just an SEO case. Find out what the most common questions are to the sales or support team, and answer those questions on the product page. Tell the client you will help reduce their costs (of support), reduce their returns, increase customer satisfaction, etc.
If they just want increased rankings, take a ten-word phrase from the page and show them they are already ranking number 1, and that it's time to focus on sales.

RE: What's on your ultimate online marketing wish list?
I'd love our keyword data back!
More exact numbers and fewer estimates/ranges in things like GWT.

RE: Next Linkscape Update - six weeks is a long time!
At 38 days, it is a little longer than most cycles. The holidays did throw a wrench into things, but we are expected to have the crawl out tomorrow. From the homepage of OSE there's now a link to the crawl calendar at http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule where you can see the update schedule to help plan. So sorry that it took a bit of extra time, I know that many of us are really looking forward to the new release.

RE: An article we wrote was published on the Daily Business Review, we'd like to post it on our site. What is the proper way?
Setting SEO aside for the moment, in both situations, make sure you have permission to reprint the articles on your site.

RE: How to build PA and DA for a new site?
Keep in mind that PA and DA are Moz metrics, and not metrics we've talked the search engines into using.
We use them to approximate what we think the engines are looking for, but you're wanting to build up your authority with the engines as your first focus, and not concentrate just on how to increase PA and DA for the sake of getting those numbers higher. -
RE: SEOmoz PRO app not offered
Hi! Any new campaigns created in Moz Analytics are only available in MA, and not in the old Pro app. The campaigns you see in Pro are older campaigns.

RE: What am i missing?
Google, Yahoo, Moz, and a bunch of other sites all have much higher stats than my site. Yet none of them are optimized for or care about scale model battleships, so my little site can outrank them. You do need to look at what is on your site too.

RE: The Power of a Brand Mascot - SEOMoz
Kyle, we'd love to send you and your wife more Roger swag! Can you please send an email to community@seomoz.org and include a mailing address? Please let us know when school is out for the year so we can be sure it gets there in time.
Also, thanks for sharing this lovely story. I've worked in special education in the past, and originally was going to be an occupational therapist. This warms my heart.

RE: All in favor of an "Announcements" category section say MOZ!
Usually, the best place for an update is within the thread itself. Did you know that we have an "active" tab (which links to http://moz.com/community/q/active ) ? This will sort questions by most recent activity, so even if the question is six months old, if it has a new comment, you'll be able to see that come up on the home page of that tab.
Keeping the question updated within the question is great for people who come to the site a year down the road and wonder what happened in a particular situation, especially if they are not a Pro member and can't add a question to the thread.

RE: How to fix this URL?
Moz isn't able to follow Javascript. If you disable javascript, you won't be able to get past the home page on your site, and you'll never get to http://ravisharrma.com/home.html. We have some more info on that at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-Why-Isn-t-My-Site-Being-Crawled-You-re-Not-Crawling-All-My-Pages-

RE: Why is the Mozscape API update saying the next update is Sept 30, when it was saying Aug 28 until yesterday? Will there be no update on Aug 28?
We tried to get an update out yesterday, and had to roll back. We're hoping to get the update out today. We'll be sure to tweet when things are complete!

RE: 100 One-Way .EDU Backlinks $30?
Or they're links from spammy blog comments on abandoned or hacked edu blogs/guestbooks. I've seen that a lot. Do a [site:yourfavoriteuniversity.edu viagra] query and you'll see this spam on nearly any edu site you choose.

RE: How i can re-analyze ?
Hi! We crawl once a week, so your campaign will be reanalyzed within a few days. You can crawl up to 3000 URLs at a time on demand at http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test which can also help. The results won't show up in your campaign, but you'll be able to download the CSV and see what still needs fixing.
There's no need to delete and start your campaign over, and you'll lose your history when you do that. The starter crawl with a campaign is also only 250 URLs.
