I’d like to set up a Moz campaign that crawls just the primary website, not subdomains
-
Is this something you could help with? (it either bombs or crawls everything, so I assume I’m missing something in the campaign settings, or it’s just not possible.

Hey, thanks for reaching out to us!
You can block our crawler from crawling specific subdomains of your site by excluding our user-agent from the subdomains robots.txt file. Our user agent is "rogerbot" and the directive would look something like this:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /You will want to make sure that this is associated with the robots.txt file specific to the subdomain you want to block.
You can read more about Rogerbot in our guide.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Changing the Moz Crawl Date
Hello, I am wondering where I can change the date of Crawl by Moz. I would like to change this crawl period from one week to 2 or even 3 weeks for Moz to crawl my website. Hope to hear from anyone soon. Kind regards, Koen.

I haven't used Moz and you've been billing me. Please refund thanks
I signed on for a free trial and found out today that you've billed me in June and July. Check my history as this is only the second time i've logged in and it's just to request you refund.

Why does Moz Analytics only let you look at last month / last week?
I cant think of any other reporting product that only lets you look at the last period, am I missing a setting somewhere. I need to take a look at Feb!

Daily crawl reports, are they wasting my time?
I am relatively new here, I have 5 campaigns. I get new crawl complete reports almost every day for all of them. Wow great, except when I check the reports nothing has changed. Even if I have gone in and changed things or fixed errors, the same ones are still there and takes 4-7 days for that work to show up. Everytime I get one of these reports I am opening them up going through and not seeing the changes I implemented the previous days before. I'll spend 20-30 minutes going over these and checking details. So the question is, Are these reports wasting my time? Are they actually new reports or am I just getting spammed repeat notices everyday?

Is there a difference between Moz Pro and Moz Analytics?
I thought that Moz Analytics was now included with Moz Pro. Is this true? I have Moz Pro and I was using the beta version of Moz Analytics back in October. When I log into Moz Analytics, the latest data stops at October 27th and there is no data after that. Is that an indication of when my trial period ended? I have the basic Moz Pro, does that include Analytics portion? Thanks!

Down for me? Or everyone? 504 errors on campaigns and research tools.
Additionally direct emails to help@moz.com don't work and return a permanent failure error. There's also no verification email coming through when using the message form page to contact support, I'm presuming it's emailing the above email but also failing.

Lost since the change over to Moz
I was recently lead to a series of videos which looked to be quite helpful here http://moz.com/help/pro/introduction But is seems with the change over from SEO Moz to Moz, nothing is in the same place. Should I bother watching them or wait for new ones? I'm particularly interested in SEO to raise our rank.
