Reliable Tracking of Campaign with Subdomain and Subfolder
-
Hi,
i was wondering if i can rely on the tracking for a campaign like
subdomain.example.com/subfolder/
The idea is to measure all the data regarding e.g. one specific language within a subdomain and use the tools based on this data.
Thank you in advance.

Correct. When you setup to campaign a subfolder, you will only get crawl diagnostics and reports for that particular subfolder.
SEOMoz Help states, "The PRO Web App crawls, grades and checks rankings only for pages found on that domain or subfolder. When tracking a subfolder, we will only crawl pages that exist in that specific folder. We will not crawl links that go to other folders."
If you were to create 2 campaigns:
And both pages are in English, you will get different crawl diagnostics and other metrics for these campaigns.
Does that make sense?

Thank you, Mike.
The Crawl Diagnostics data of a sub folder is always a substitution from the Crawl Diagnostics data of the root domain, *.example.com/ right?
What about having the same language for 2 countries in different sub folders? Does it distort the data?

When you create a new campaign, choose:
"Subfolder
Track a specific subfolder. Note that the subfolder path must resolve or we will not be able to crawl the content of that folder.
Examples: www.seomoz.org/tools, guides.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization"
From your example and the second example in the quote above, you should be able to do the subdomain.example.com/subfolder structure.
Hope this helps.
Mike

How do I know which keywords to track in my MOZ Campaigns?
Good morning Mozzers from the London, England. This may be a silly question to many of the community, but here goes "How do I know which keywords to track in my MOZ campaigns?" I work in the gyms section in the UK and am tracking keywords like "Gyms in Liverpool" or "Manchester gyms" which send me some traffic. I can see search terms like the above do send me traffic from Google's Webmaster Tools, but obviously this tool won't highlight the keyword opportunities I am missing out on because I currently don't rank. Any guidance on this dilemma would be hugely appreciated, Kindest regards Ben

Rank Tracking
I just wanted to check with people in the know, A Keyword I'm tracking with the Rank Tracker Research tool is showing #7 in the SEOMoz tool but when I google it myself it isn't showing up in the serps on page 1. I'm assuming that google serps might be distirbuted with a certain "latency" for different users, I just wanted to check check with you guys.

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

Schedule crawls for 2 subdomains every 24 hours
I saw at this link: http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test "As a PRO member, you can schedule crawls for 2 subdomains every 24 hours, and you'll get up to 3,000 pages crawled per subdomain." However I am having trouble finding where to schedule this 24 hour crawl in my Pro Dashboard. I did not see the option for this setting in the crawl diagnostics tab or in the campaign settings section from the dashboard home page. Can you help? thanks! Michael

How do you track links over time?
I'm new to SEOmoz and I'm really enjoying the fact that I can track all my keywords in a single place and monitor the changes. Is there a way to do the same with no my links? I mean: I'm using Open Site Explorar to track my links, but I want to know my link building performance overtime. Is there a way to do this automatically with SEOmoz? In case of a negative answer, how do you track your links over time? Thanks in advance!
