Today SEOmoz.org announced a new way to handle SEO. SEOmoz build their own web-crawler which will give SEO’s more insight in the consistency of the web, information which is already  available to all search engines. They claim to have already indexed 30 billion(!) web pages.

This will bring a whole new era in search optimization, since SEOmoz shares this data (after membership registration) to the entire community. SEOmoz created the service Linkscape which will rate a website throughout their own MozRank analysis. Since we’d had to be guessing on what the value of a link or website was, or had to build our own tools, or had to stress the search engines to push multiple queries to get our information, now we might have somewhat like an industry standard that’s available for all.

I really think the entire SEOmoz team did an incredible job to get this train on track, since their team currently only counts 16 members. In my opinion SEO could become a different ball game, cause less guessing leads to more effective optimization. Is this the start of SEO 4.0?
