I have a new url, and I'm trying to create a new campaign for it.
But in first step when i enter the domain, an error message pops up saying the url is invalid. could you help?

Hi Alice
You may need to check with your hosting provider to see if they might be blocking us for the springcoin domain.
Make sure the following IP range is not blocked: 208.184.81.0-24

Hi David,
I think that wildcard is correct, because we want to disallow all pdf files.
This is the same robots file as our other domain, avantcredit.com, and I was able to set up that campaign successfully on Moz.
Is there anything else that could be causing the issue?

Hi Alice
There is an issue with your robots.txt which has a wildcard directive without a / before it
Disallow: *.pdf$
Missing / at start of file or folder nameThis might be preventing us from accessing the site.

Hi Alice!
Generally the invalid URL will indicate an issue with either DNS or inability to obtain an HTTP response from the web server. Check you robots.txt file for any user-agent blocks and you can use various header response tools to see if you return any errors:
www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php
If you have a 302 re-direct you will need to change it to be a 301. If you receive a 200 OK response, let us know what the URL is so we can run other tests.

Perhaps you could provide us with the url? It's difficult to help you without it

Changed to HTTPS: Do I need to update Moz?
Hi Everyone! I have moved my website from HTTP to HTTPS. I believe that I've done everything correctly. Now that I've done that, do I need to update my Moz campaign (and how to do that)? Or, will Moz handle it itself? Or, do I need to create a new campaign with the HTTPS url? Thanks so much!

How to find first set of Moz rankings?
I'm trying to compare the state of our seo before we started moz to now. I can't find the first set of rankings and on-page grades when I initially setup Moz. I do have access to our first report, but in that first week, I made a number of changes based on the initial crawl/rankings/on-page grades. Anyone know how to get that? Thanks, Ruben

Invisible Campaign?
I was trying to create some campaigns, and I ran into an issue where, in the creation page, the browser stopped responding and I had to close and re-open. When I reopened, it was counting my campaigns like the one I was working on had been created, but it's not in my campaign list at all, meaning I can't see it to delete it. I only have 25 campaign slots, and I really need to free up that slot that's currently glitched. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

Moz forum response seems to crash Outlook?
Hi, Like the new look of Moz. I got an automated email the other day saying someone had responded to a question we asked on Moz. However, when opening the email, it really held Outlook 2010 up. So slow that it crashed Outlook a couple of times. When trying to forward the email to a colleague, I got the 'Contacting \d1...cloudfront.net\img_users' dialogue box, which just stood there for ages, and eventually I had to give up and force Outlook to quit. Please see attached screenshot. Looking at the URL Outlook was trying to reach indicates it's trying to load up the avatar of the person who responded. Which would look nice I admit, but don't really need it in the email if it's going to cause Outlook to crash. There is an 'image not found' icon next to the post, so that's why I assume Outlook is searching for that image. It's almost as if the image is incorrectly referencing a local source (network drive) which it can never find. Perhaps there is a missing http:// prefix before the image in the tag? Anyway, was curious to know if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone at Moz can check this out (update template?) Regards, Rich M6AY0GQ

Bring a Campaign Back From the Dead?
Hi SEOMoz, We've deleted a campaign recently that needs to be turned back on. Is there any way to do this? I'd rather not lose the archived rankings and data from the campaign and have to start recording/tracking anew. Thanks
