Should I setup separate campaigns for my website and blog?
-
Both the website and blog are hosted on the same domain, just wondering if I should setup separate campaigns under SEOmoz for each? If so, why would this be helpful?
-
Under where you put your url it says: Exact url or check entire subdomain
So, assuming you are optimizing pages, put in the exact url: http://www.tatango.com/company
If you want to check where you rank for sms advertising on the whole, use the subdomain www.tatango.com
-
When using the Keyword Ranking Tool, where do I select "check entire subdomain"?
-
Total sense. When using the keyword ranking tool you can use any url or you can use entire subdomain. If you want to see where tatango.com ranks for sms advertising and only want to see it as the home page/landing page, put exact url. If you want to see how the site performs based on that same search term use entire subdomain.
On that term sms advertising, the home page is position 20 on Google. If you use /blog you do not rank. But, if you use /blog and click on check entire subdomain, it will again show the position 20.
When checking specific urls (pages) we always use specific url and the terms we have optimized for.
Hope this helps.

Do you know if when I look at keyword rankings for Tatango.com, that also brings up keyword ranking for tatango.com/(anything), or is it displaying keyword rankings for just tatango.com and nothing else? Does that make sense?

Derek,
From a quick look at both, it appears the only page difference is the one with /blog. Personally, I would not see a reason to run separate campaigns on them. I would prefer to save the others for something that will provide you more actionable data.
You can always use the other tools to check the blog: Rank tracker, on page optimizer, etc.

Is it possible to change the order of my campaigns?
I've just upgraded from a PRO to a PRO PLUS account (as if I need more caffine!) and wondered if it were possible to change the order of the campaigns? They seem to be in alphabetical order - which is no problem, but I'm not actually running all the campaigns - I'm only monitoring a few potential sites, so don't want to see them at the top? it's only a niggle, not a gripe, but wondered it it were possible - or if not, can I show more than 5 campaigns at once rather than scrolling. As always, thanks in advance. G.

How to track sub-directories as separate sites
I am tracking a blog for a client thats hosted on a subdomain, we decided to give it it's own SEOMoz campaign. My issue is that when entering competitors, if the competing blog is using a sub-directory, SEO Moz won't let me enter it, only the domain. I would assume that there has to be a way to do this, but I don't see it. I need to be able to track the competing blogs as separate from their root domain. mysite: blog.mysite.com their site: theirsite.com/blog (very different from just theirsite.com) Hopefully someone can tell me what to do here because the metrics are basically useless if I am forced to use only the domain. Thanks so much!

Campaign status stock in status "Next Crawl in Progress!
Has anyone else had an issue laetly where the campaign status was stock in _ **"Next Crawl in Progress!" **_? One of our campaigns has been in this status for the page 2 1/2 days and this has not happened in the past as there are only 597 pages for this campaign to crawl. I send a help ticket request to the SEOMOZ team but was wondering if this is an isolated issue or if other community members have also experienced it? Thanks.

Any plans to allow direct comparison between a selected website (client) and top competitors?
Hi, I really like the SEOMoz keyword difficulty tool. It currently reports metrics between the top 10 positions. Is there any plan to introduce the facility to directly compare metrics between a selected website and that of other competing websites. For example, a clients' website compared to the top 10 results, or compared to a number of other selected competiors websites? Best wishes, David
