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

Root domain or 'www' subdomain for campaigns?
I am setting up a campaign and I am unsure whether I should specify the root domain (prohibitionhats.co.nz) or the 'www' subdomain (www.prohibitionhats.co.nz). Are there any guidelines for this or will Moz automatically aggregate the data for both irrespective of the domain you choose? Thanks Laurie

SEOMoz Crawling Only 1 Page
I entered a new site into my dashboard 2 days ago - everything looked kosher, there were a few hundred pages crawled and a whole bunch of errors. I came back this morning to start work on the site and SEOMoz has crawled the site again, this time returning only 1 page and 0 errors. I haven't even logged in to the site since the first crawl, so I couldn't have broken anything. Has anyone seen this before?

Crawl Diagnostics Summary
Sorry if I am not asking in the right place. On Crawl Diagnostics Summary it says this right..?? : "To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days.". so it's passed a day and it still doesn't show nothing. It says "Processing Crawl Data for 358 pages" How much should i wait??

Competitive Domain Analysis Question
When looking at the Competitive Domain Analysis I noticed that I am the only one amongst my competitors that does not have a link from DMOZ. The problem is, I do have a link from them. When you search for my site on dmoz.org you can find my site and it has been that way for quite a while. Anyone know any possible reasons it may be doing this?
