Can I use wildcards "*" when setting up a new Moz campaign?
-
Basically I would like the Moz crawler to focus on a specific section of our domain. We do not bucket things via folder groups, so the use of wildcards would be applicable to us.
Our URL structure:
Is the example below a valid input to track the above URL structure?
Thanks.

I don't believe it's on the current roadmap, but you can check and add this and/or any feature request here: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-Moz-Feature-Requests

That's too bad... unfortunately our business is too large to simply restructure the URLs, and such a project would take quite a long time to complete. Anyways, having the ability to segment site sections with wildcards would have enabled us to hone our campaign setups.
Not a huge ordeal. Now I need to reconsider how we setup our campaigns moving forward.
Thank you Federico.

Unfortunately, as this point, I think Moz isn't capable of doing that, although it would be a nice feature, however, Moz would still need to crawl the entire site to find the URLs that matching the URLs that match your wildcard settings, ending up in the entire site being crawled.
I am guessing you use some kind of CMS for those pages, maybe wordpress, then you can change the URL structure to be something like domain.com/blog/* and then create a campaign for domain.com/blog.
Anyways, you can contact moz at help@moz.com asking if they are planning to add such a feature.
(I run a test prior to this response to see if that worked, it didn't.)

Moz not recognising url to setup a new account
I am attempting to setup a new account for my client but Moz is having a problem and not registering the url http://www.esc.uk.net/. I get the "oops" message & read the info on the FAQ page it refers to. Why do I keep getting an "Oops" message when I type and submit my campaign URL? To create a campaign, we need to receive a valid HTTP response from the web server hosting your site. While the site may be accessible from a standard web browser, other user-agents and search engine bots may receive a different response. If you receive this error, we recommend running a test by sending an HTTP response using any online HTTP tool. Using an online HTTP tool I believe I received an HTTP response. What else can I do?
