How do I exclude my blog subfolder from being crawled with my main domain (www.) folder?
-
I am trying to setup two separate campaigns for my blog and for my main site.
While it is easy enough to do through the wizard the results I am getting for my main site still include pages that are in my blog sub folder.
Please Advise!

Hi,
I would like to know if this idea, of excluding a subfolder from a campaign, is available now? If so, how do I set it up?
We have a forum in a subfolder and all the data from it kind of blurs my main interest using Seomoz for this website.

Hey,
now with the new Moz Analytics platform, has this been implemented yet or still on the plan? I would like to exclude a forum placed in a subfolder as this forum is not our main focus to work with SEO on. It has so many URLs and "eats" up the moz crawl budget for us.
Thanks!

Hey Henry,
Thanks for writing in. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to exclude the blog from the crawl for the main site at this time. If you exclude our crawler from those pages, then we wouldn't be able to crawl for the separate blog campaign either. We do plan to allow you to ignore or remove certain pages from your crawl when we switch to the new Moz Analytics platform, but it may be some time before that is available for all of our users. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that causes in the meantime.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

i was just thinking, you might be able to put a robots file in the subfolder telling seomoz bot not to crawl that folder, not sure if that's possible. But make sure you only target seomozs bot only (don't want to tell google not to crawl it).
but that would stop the subfolder being crawled completely, which I don't think you want

Yes I am referring to the seomoz bot and I understand that google sees the two sub folders as one domain.
I would like them to be separate just for my own work flow/ability to mange each individually with no spill over.
But if it can't be done it can't be done.
Thank you!

I'm guessing you mean the seomoz, bot crawling your site? If so why do you want to crawl them separately, because google won't, they are on the same domain.
to answer your question, I don't think it can be done

Hi What is the best tool out there to doing a full brand audit for company. They've created at least 15 websites and have possibly many domain names which have been ordered by different people over many years. I need to find the quickest and best tool to do this with. Any suggestions would be great.

Keyword rankings and main company tagline not matching
I have a question about keywords rankings and on page keywords. I don't rank very well for the keyword "Nutcracker". But, my tag line is "Your one stop Nutcracker and Ballet Gifts source". One of my most important keywords is "Nutcrackers" (see the s 😉 ) and I hot hit really hard in my rankings with the google algorithm update. Almost a 30 position difference from one day to the next. Am I shooting myself in the foot by having Nutcracker being in the forefront, even though my chances of ranking for that are very low as there is high competition with more actual "The Nutcracker" related content. I do have the word "nutcrackers" on my home page...but all of a sudden I feel like i'm wasting space, or I should have made the tagline "Your one stop Nutcrackers and Ballet Gifts source". It just doesn't sound as good. I just recently dove headfirst into SEO and moz, so I consider myself a noob, but I learn quite quickly. Thank you for your help!

Domain Authority
Has anyone ever experienced a domain authority of 1, 0 links for web 2.0 websites like tumblr, wordpress, weebly, etc? I know it's normal to see a page authority of 1 if there are no links to a url or if opensite explorer hasn't been updated. Is this some kind of bug with opensite explorer?

Campaigns - domains / sub domains
Dear SEOmoz folk, At the moment, I have one (rather large) site set up as a campain. I have decided to split off parts of my site into sub domains. My question is, can I set up these sub domains as a completely separate campaign on here? I'd very much like the crawl reports separated out for each one. A very real fear I have is that my site is well over double 10,000 pages, so I never truly see the actual number of errors that I have. Thoughts appreciated. Many thanks, Matt

How to Calculate % improvement in Mozrank and Domain Authority
I understand the concept that mozrank and Domain Authority are measured on a logarithmic scale . http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank I'm trying to determine the percentage improvement in the Logrithmic value. For example Original Domain Authority 60 Original Mozrank 5 End Domain Authority 63 End Mozrank 6. So 5% change in DA and 20% change in MozRank. How do we convert these numbers to the real logrithmic change?

Crawl Diagnostics and missing meta tags on noindex blog pages
Hi Guys/Gals We do love the Crawl Diagnostics, but do find the missing meta tags ("Missing Meta Description" Tag in this case) somewhat spammy. We use the "All in One SEO Pack" for our blog and it does stick in noindex,follow (as it should) on the pages that is of no use to us. "2008/04/page/2/" and the likes. Maybe I'm wrong but should the Diagnostics tool not respect the noindex tag and just ignore any warnings, since it should really mean that these pages are NOT included in the search index. Meaning that the other meta tags are really useless. Any thoughts?
