Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi! There have been meetings internally about this, and we've made one change today (with more discussions to happen).

If you have an account higher than the Standard $99 a month subscription (so Medium or above), you'll get 750 keywords a day.

Feedback we'd like from you, if you haven't already shared it, is if you are using this tool in bulk, how do you use it? Do you generate full reports? Export multiple data points? Just using difficulty scores? Running daily, or large batches weekly or monthly?

Thank you!

You might want to figure out what specific parts of SEO you're looking for someone else to do, and if you're willing to do any of it yourself.

Are you looking for help with your on-page content? Other people to write about the site? Site structure? Redesign? Fixing technical errors? Links?

You don't want to be entirely hands-off, as you'll need to stay in communication with whatever person or company you hire. They're going to have questions for you (or they should), and you should have questions for them too.

Last time I looked at GA's terms of service, it couldn't be used to capture personally identifiable information. This would help Alan see how many people are staying on the page versus how many filled out the form, but not collect the actual data of their content information.

Locking this thread, as it's a duplicate of http://moz.com/community/q/moz-crawl-error-da-linking-domains-significant-drop.

The good news is that the search engines don't use the Moz metrics in their updates, if that makes you feel any better. It could be that we just didn't crawl some of the domains that we crawled previously. I haven't seen any other reports of lots of linking root domains missing. Could you send in an email to help@moz.com so we can send it to the proper team to make sure there wasn't an error in the latest update?

Thanks!

If you get your page to stay, you may have a tricky time making it accurate. We've battled with the SEOmoz/Moz Wikipedia pages. Despite extensive notes in the Talk page from Rand, there are still a ton of inaccuracies in the page (last time I looked).

Have you looked to see what Sugarrae has to say at http://sugarrae.com/affiliate-marketing/?

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!

Unfortunately, I don't have a quick answer for you. Looking forward to seeing what other community members have to say on this one!

If I do a site:gazetaexpress.com in Google, I get some results that are http, and some results that are https. The https ones say there is an SSL connection error.

Are you looking at the http or https version in GWT?

We sure do! The code is SMX14MOZ. Thanks for asking!

The Beginner's Guide to SEO at http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo is a good place to get an overview of SEO and increasing your links.

All links in Q&A are nofollowed, but we still ask that you not use unnecessary/unrelated links in your answers. Thanks!

I haven't researched selling facebook poker chips, but if you're selling some type of virtual currency (I don't think you mean selling poker chips with the Facebook logo on them), you'd want to make sure that the company you hire understands the laws around the product and does appropriate promotion for each country or region. Any type of online gambling tends to be fairly competitive with lots of rules.

On the other hand, would it freak out your visitors to be contacted when they didn't hit the submit button and still have a company directly contacting them?

A hyphen shouldn't be an issue. The best thing to do would be to send an email to help@moz.com listing which domain is having an issue, and we'll be able to look into it directly there. Thanks!

The question is about the keyword difficulty tool within the Moz tools (there's a Product Support flag for this question). We show the SERP from google, but the keyword details are from Bing, as we no longer have access to Google Adwords API data.

Moz updates the DA and other metrics about once a month. We're scheduled to have an update tomorrow, and you can check back in the late afternoon to see how things look.

We're meeting internally to discuss the best solution to this. Only a very small percentage of our users exceed the 400 per day, and it does account for a but of an unreasonable load on our system. I'll be keeping the thread at http://moz.com/community/q/kw-difficulty-daily-limit updated (and closing this thread, since it's essentially a duplicate).

You can hire someone, but you need to trust that they'll do a good job reviewing.

Have you asked your current SEO for a list of links that have been built?
