#2Really great writeup. Congrats Rand and the whole team! I'm impressed the VCs were ok with Rand publishing so much data publicly. I hope more companies are this transparent with information...it really helps level the playing field for startups and entrepreneurs to have access to this kind of data.
Congrats again!

#3This is great. In an ocean of depressingly terrible SEO information, advice and tools shrouded in secrecy by pompous quacks dressed in fake wizard robes SEOMoz has always stood out as completely open, ethical, high quality and useful.
I've also seen Rand talk and he's very passionate about what he does, I recommend anyone who gets the chance sees him speak. It's hard to not have his enthusiasm rub off on the audience and leave you re-motivated and full of ideas again.
There's definitely a huge market for this. Just look at how much absolute crud and misinformation there is out there. How many people are still being ripped off by SEO cowboys. I'd really like to see SEOMoz succeed and become more mainstream and well known.
I'd like to one day to hear small businesses asking about SEOMoz and other high quality companies/tools/sources of SEO information as supposed to going along with the first cold calling spammer that phones them up.

#5I 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 :-)

#8Now that they have their own backlink crawler their information is extremely valuable to any self respecting SEO. It's expensive, but that's probably because of lack of competition.
