How do you tell SEOmoz to ignore a subdomain?
-
We have a subdomain that I don't want to show up in our root SEOmoz campaign. How do I tell SEOmoz to ignore it?
-
Hi John,
You'll want to enter the www.example.com in the campaign, so we crawl JUST the www subdomain. We don't often think of it this way, but www is a subdomain.
-
That is actually what I want. How is that done?

Hi John,
Thanks for the question.
Unfortunately though, there is no way to have one campaign specifically ignore a single subdomain and still crawl all other subdomains.It would be possible to set two subdomain campaigns if your site was set as such:
www.example.com
blog.example.comBut anything outside of either of those subdomains would not be touched.
Thanks,
Joel. -
Ah, misunderstood you. I don't think what you are trying to do is possible but you should ask someone who works for SEOMoz to confirm.
-
But I want the subdomain to be craweled, just under a different SEOmoz campaign. Blocking it in the robots.txt file will prevent that.
-
Well the subdomain should have its own folder where you can create you own robots.txt file for. That would only block the subdomain from being crawled.
If you don't have a separate folder, check out this Q&A.

That would prevent SEOmoz from crawling it completely. I don't want that. I want the subdomain to be crawled under a different campaign. I want the data for the subdomain, but the number of pages is much greater than the root domain, and is just a lot of noise when looking at the root domain. It's drowning it out. SEOmoz has no option to control this?
-
You can block the SEOmoz spider via robots.txt on the subdomain

Getting my top keywords separated out in SEOmoz reports
I am using the standard functionality to produce weekly Moz reports. There does not seem to be a setting to show rankings of my most important keywords. It would be nice to have those high-level keywords on the first page. For example, I have 200 keywords in an account. I want the report to show on a page my 10 most important keywords. Is there a way to set up a Label to my keywords in order to product a report page just for those keywords?

One Follow Link from each subdomain/domain best for SEO?
Hi there, we have a lot of customers linking to our homepage from a subdomain of our domain or from an external domain. From SEO point of view is it best that they all only have one DoFollow Link and the rest of the links are NoFollow? Or does this have no matter at all? The problem is that we have like 900.000 links but only from round about 1000 different root domains. If we put like half of the links on NoFollow our ratio of links/ different root domains gets better. Thanks for answering! Sebastian

SEOmoz Q&A down last few days
It seems the Q&A section had some issues since the 25th. Users could post new Q&As but they were not visible to most users. Roger was caught slacking! The issue appears to be resolved at this time. I just wanted to share to anyone who asked a question the past few days who did not receive a response you may wish to repost your question as many readers will not go back and check questions from prior days.
