Hey Rand,

The last post I read this open and deep, was your one on battling depression.

I admire your openness — thanks for sharing, it’s like seeing a hero of yours struggle with the same issues that plagues us…

Anyhow a few thoughts on Moz…

Yes, SEO is still huge. You guys have the infrastructure. Now I feel you should hone in and become best-in-class in stuff like link-research, keyword research, competitor analysis etc.

But your bot algorithm’s need to adapt as fast as Google’s. My personal opinion from using the system on and off over the last few years, is that the link analysis for example, felt aged.

What about dipping your feet back in consultancy? I’m sure Moz can build a healthy new income stream, taking on big clients. And another idea is paid training courses on SEO, with a certification perhaps.
