Talk about taking transparency to the next level. This post has revenue, freemium conversion data, cap table breakdown, valuation, vc negotiation detail, and how Rand and his co-founder / mom amicably decided to part ways. Amazing. Has there ever been a private company at this scale with this level of transparency? Go SEOmoz.

They have built up a large social media following, possibly the best for a company of their size in a niche their size, with a lot of hard work and great content.

mercenary, if you knew Rand at all, you'd realize how dumb such an insinuation sounds. Also, Brad Feld is no dummy. He may not have the Midas Touch, but he doesn't buy into crap, either. I suspect we'll be hearing a lot from Moz in the future.

i am so sory. engrish not my ranguage. rand good guy. i use transrate. transrate say accidental pay crap. i did no. rand good guy i buy rand stuff. tank u.

I 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?

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 :-)

We have one as well (built from the ground up--my co-founder and I started building it in October 2010!)

Our rank tracker also has a competition analysis tool attached--so you can get data like # of backlinks, etc. for the top 10 Google results for any given keyword.

I currently use the $100 plan on Authority Labs and their delayed reporting is incredibly frustrating. When it works it great to get detailed and exact ranking stats on keywords. When I can't get reports and keyword data is delayed 1+ days, it sucks.

I will give those other services a try.
