Not really an SEOmoz fan (nor do I have an opinion on them), but the insight into their deal was very welcome and it's good to see that they've got big plans.

#12I'm very impressed with their openness and in describing the process. They share revenue projections, their cap table and pitch deck.
I'm also impressed with their non-standard move: They 'each sacrificed shares we owned to give back to each active employee at the company so they maintain their ownership percentage.'
They want to be a 'role model company in Seattle' and I truly hope companies follow in their footsteps in terms of openness and consideration for their employees.

#14I paid 99$/month for few months, but I end up only using keywords tracking tool... 99$ was too much only for that feature. Any saas offering only keywords tracking? For something like 9.99$/month?
you can also check out micrositemasters.com
I hear they tracked rank for some big brands at one point.

If you're just looking for rank tracking, there's a few I've heard good things about (obviously, I like Moz, but I use a lot of the other features too, and am biased): - http://www.advancedwebranking.com/ - http://www.gshiftlabs.com/ - http://authoritylabs.com/ Hopefully those can help! And eventually, if you get deeper/broader in you marketing software needs, maybe we'll be worth another shot :-)
Any keyword suggestion tools you would recommend before a site gets a lot of traffic? (other than Google's Keyword Tool)

#18Congrats to Rand and the SEOmoz team.
I can't wait until SEOmoz eventually re-brands to "Moz", dropping the "SEO" part of the equation.
Re: SEOmoz raises 18 million from Ignition and Foundry
#19Love it. Their software is pretty damn good, I hope they become the de facto SEO package and make scads of money.
Rand's writing about marketing and the inner machinations of growing a company are always worth reading.
