MozCon 2012 Wrap-Up |
Posted: 01 Aug 2012 07:43 PM PDT Posted by jennita Last week, approximately 800 marketers from across the globe converged in Seattle for our annual conference, MozCon. The entire Moz staff attended as well, and we were all quite excited to have such a diverse set of attendees and speakers. For many of us, it was an experience we won't soon forget. Between the amazing speakers and brilliant content, to networking with the community, and even singing karaoke at the Garage, it was a magical three days. I wanted to wrap all the great photos, posts, and presentations into one neat package, to make it quick and easy to find everything. So let's just jump right in!
Look at this photograph...(every time I do it makes me laugh) With so much love for Roger going around, we tried to get photos with him and as many people as possible. We've uploaded all the photos and you can view and download them from our Facebook page. Check out all the photos with Roger: But don't worry, those aren't all the photos! We went all out this year, and our photographer got shots of all the speakers and tons of pics around the conference and at the Garage party. We'd absolutely love for you to tag yourself in the photos and please feel free to download them and use them! Check out all the photos: Presentations o'plentyYes, there will be videos to purchase. Whew! I just wanted to get that out of the way since that's the question we keep getting asked most often. :) We hope to have them available in the coming weeks, so watch for a specific announcement about that. We had an amazing lineup of speakers and have made all of their presentations available for download. Please feel free to check out the decks:

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 08:23 AM PDT Posted by randfish It's that time of the month. Open Site Explorer, the Mozbar, our tools and the API all have new link data as of today. Much of this index is quite fresh, but with a caveat - there was a period of crawler downtime so some data from early in the index may be older (histogram below). It's slightly smaller than our prior index, coming in at 69 Billion URLs (compared to July 6th's 72 Billion).
(note that some data may be as old as May, but anything re-crawled in July would overwrite that older data, so there should be a significant amount of very fresh stuff in this index) And, in more potentially good news (though it's hard to count chickens before they hatch given AWS' unreliability), we have another index that may be ready in the next 2-3 weeks, meaning more consistent updates. We're kicking off indices nearly every week at this point to help account for Amazon's weaknesses and give us a better chance of delivering on-time updates. This has pushed our costs into stratospheric territory ($600-$700K+/month to run Mozscape these days), but we can tolerate this pain a little longer while we work to move to our new hybrid cloud on our own, far-more-stable machines. Let's take a look at the full metrics for this index:
And here are the latest correlations between Mozscape metrics and Google's search results:
You'll also find that some of the bugs around anchor text from the prior index are much improved. There may be a few artifacts of odd data, but 99% of queries won't surface these. Happy link data day to all! And please write in with feedback (or leave it in the feature request forum).
