What's the best way to switch a campaign from sub-domain tracking to root domain tracking?

[CFW-SEO]

I realized after the fact that one of my campaigns also has a mobile website sub-domain that I'd like to track  (ex: http://m.website.com). How can I switch this campaign over to root domain tracking without deleting everything and starting over?

Thanks Peter!!

Hello there!

Thanks for writing in!  This is a great question indeed!  In our campaign tool, because the need to have the correct rankings tracked which is directly tied to sub vs. root.  Our tool doesn't have the ability to edit root or sub domain information once the campaign has started  With that being said, I would recommend you download your historical rankings and relevant information using our export CSV function to preserve your historical information.  Once you have done that, archive the campaign and start a new one with the correct root domain tracking.

One way to get this feature added into our next iteration of tools is to go to our feature request, chances are that other people are thinking the same great idea you are!  You can visit that by going to this link:  https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6327-known-issues-feature-requests.

I hope this helps!  I am going to leave this question open so other folks can chime in on this topic, perhaps there's a web dev wizard or a excel data master that can figure out a work around

Best,

I'm thinking there's got to be a way. Many people set up their entire sites with dozens of root domains. The real issue is whether that has to be done at the initial setup or not. Don't forget you can also email help@seomoz.org

Thanks for the suggestion Marisa, but unfortunately all 5 slots are taken, and I'm hoping that by tracking at root level it won't require depletion of those very valuable spots just to track the mobile version.

Do you have a free campaign slot? You could start an additional one just for the mobile site. But if there is a possible way for it to be added to an existing campaign, I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
