Question: Who is Elvis around here? That’s a question that Bono used to ask whilst campaigning against Third World Debt. Not wanting to waste time with the middle-man, Bono wanted to cut to the chase and deal with the creative guy who would get things done.

The Big Data Team at Moz has had one of the hardest periods to date producing an index (and we've had some nightmarish doozies in the past).

I'm giving you the no holds barred (yes, all the embarrassing stuff) that most likely contributed to the site’s penalty and what I have done to try and fix it. No major wins yet, but we are on our way to a better and cleaner site profile that we can be proud of.

The Riak nodes holding all of our rankings data had some issues that impacted the customer experience of rankings-data-related features. Here's the information on what happened and the steps we're taking to make it better now and in the future.
In this post mortem, I'll share what I learned from this experience, elaborate on the things I did right, those I did wrong and sketch a nine-step guide for contests.
