Ranktracker entire subdomain option
-
About http://ranktracker.seomoz.org ...
if I search on Google for "my phrase" I can see **www.**mysite.com on first place
Doesn't this mean that I should see a similar position on ranktracker if I type "http://mysite.com" (without www) and I select the "Entire Subdomain" radio button ? Because this shows that I am NOT in top 50.
It does show up if I type my site with www and I select eider "entire subdomain" or "exact url" radio button.
Thank you.

Hi Adrian,
Sort of.
Here's an example of how this works. You want to conduct a search for the keyword - SEO - for the sub-domain www.seomoz.org.
-
If you choose the "Exact URL" radial, we'll only look for that keyword ranking on that particular page (i.e. SEO on www.seomoz.org).
-
If you choose the "Entire Subdomain" radial, we'll look for that keyword ranking on any page within that sub domain.
Unfortunately, neither of these apply if you're trying to gather rankings data for your root domain because we currently don't look for ranking data for root domains in Rank Tracker Unlike our campaigns, Rank Tracker doesn't include any subdomains if you type in a root domain and choose the 'Entire Subdomain" radial.
Best,
Sam

@SamWeber So the "Entire Subdomain" option actually means "All pages of this domain" and not "All sub-domains of this domain" ?

Hi Adrian!
Thanks for the question and sorry for the confusion here. The reason why you're seeing this is because we don't actually track rankings for root domains in Rank Tracker. My recommendation would be to submit this as a feature request for our Product team to review. They look at this daily and use it to plan out our roadmap so hopefully they'll be able to add it in sooner rather than later
In the meantime, I'll reach out internally to see if we can update the messaging on our Rank Tracker page to make this a little clearer. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other question!
Best,
Sam

Does a subdomain hurt/help a domain?
My organization's website currently hosts research databases on a subdomain. We're relatively new to MOZ and when I ran a crawl of my site, it came back with 30K issues.... 98% of which are on this subdomain. I wish I could just remove it and call it a day, however, real and active researchers use it regularly. My question is: Does a subdomain hurt/help a domain? I'm seeing mixed results via Google search and browsing this forum. I'm concerned that I will not be able to fix these 30K issues as I do have access to maintain this database... and just by looking at it you can tell it was built in 2005 and hasn't been updated from an SEO perspective since. Any suggestions?

Mozbar SERP Control Panel Help: Export Results Option Not Available
Hi everyone. For some strange reason, the "Export" option is no longer appearing in my SERP Control panel when trying to export results from the SERP Overlay. It worked fine before SEOMoz changed over to Moz, but now the option is no longer available. Is there something I can do to restore this feature?

Inbound Links to Subdomains
Hi I want to gather a list of sites that are linking to individual blog items. Is there a way of gathering this data easily in Open Site Explorer? I've tried putting in the url/blog domain in the search box, and this just brings up those sites that link to the blog home page. I want to see all the inbound links that link to ALL subdomains within a particular URL. Any help appreciated. thanks

Question
I have set up my htaccess file to rewrite "Various URL Structure" to www.mydomain.co.uk. However when i view metrics in Majestic SEO, the url / Subdomain / Root Domain all differ. Why is this happening?
Is this harming my site?
What is common practice when defining URL Structure? Any other quality advise and implementation structure would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0 -
NoFollow Links from Subdomain to root domain better than DoFollow Links?
Our service at fotograf.de is a shopsystem for professional photographers. The customers can build their own website with our tool including an onlineshop to sell their pictures. Here is my question: One part of the customers use subdomains of our site like photographers.fotograf.de. On each customer website we include a backlink to our homepage www.fotograf.de. From SEO view is it better to set these links as NoFollow Links? Or should we put one Follow Link on the starting page on each site and on the other pages only NoFollow Link? Are these links bad for our SEO regarding link diversity because they all come from one root domain? Thanks for the answers! Sebastian

In open site explorer, why are subdomain stats different to domain stats?
Hello there I have just compared some sites in Open Site Explorer. The page domain, subdomain and domain stats are all different. I get the difference between page and domain stats. But why are the subdomain stats different? There are no subdomains on the site so I expected them to be the same. What is my confused brain missing??? Many thanks Wendy

How to download an entire Website (HTML only), ready to rehost
Hi all, I work for a large retail brand and we have lots of counterfeit sites ranking for our products. Our legal team seizes the websites from the owners who then setup more counterfeit sites and so forth. As soon as we seize control of a website, the site content is deleted and subsequently it falls out of the SERPs to be immediately replaced by the next lot of counterfeit sites. I need to be able to download a copy of the site before it is seized, so that once I have control of it I can put the content back and hopefully quickly regain the SERPs (with an additional 'counterfeit site' notice superimposed on that page in JS). Does anyone know or can recommend good software to be able to download an entire website, so that it can be easily rehosted? Thanks FashionLux (Edited title to reflect only wanting to download html, CSS and images of site. I don't want the sites to actually be functional - only appear the same to Google)
