Reliable Tracking of Campaign with Subdomain and Subfolder
-
Hi,
i was wondering if i can rely on the tracking for a campaign like
subdomain.example.com/subfolder/
The idea is to measure all the data regarding e.g. one specific language within a subdomain and use the tools based on this data.
Thank you in advance.

Correct. When you setup to campaign a subfolder, you will only get crawl diagnostics and reports for that particular subfolder.
SEOMoz Help states, "The PRO Web App crawls, grades and checks rankings only for pages found on that domain or subfolder. When tracking a subfolder, we will only crawl pages that exist in that specific folder. We will not crawl links that go to other folders."
If you were to create 2 campaigns:
And both pages are in English, you will get different crawl diagnostics and other metrics for these campaigns.
Does that make sense?

Thank you, Mike.
The Crawl Diagnostics data of a sub folder is always a substitution from the Crawl Diagnostics data of the root domain, *.example.com/ right?
What about having the same language for 2 countries in different sub folders? Does it distort the data?

When you create a new campaign, choose:
"Subfolder
Track a specific subfolder. Note that the subfolder path must resolve or we will not be able to crawl the content of that folder.
Examples: www.seomoz.org/tools, guides.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization"
From your example and the second example in the quote above, you should be able to do the subdomain.example.com/subfolder structure.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Is there any way to move keywords from one Campaign to another?
We recently moved content off a subdomain onto our main www subdomain. Each of these was previously tracked as its own campaign. Now that the content is consolidated, I'd like to move the keywords that we were tracking on the first campaign over to the second. I don't see an option to migrate, or export/import keywords. Is there any (non-manual) way to do this? Thanks

How reliable is SEOMOZ data?
I have been using the Mozbar data to locate Auth websites, basically the higher the DA/PA the better it is. If I then check the site out and they have good load times, lots of social sharing etc this makes it extra special and now a good site to try and get a link on. I found 3 blogs to guest post on which all have DA/PA 80+ some of the blogs have a PR7. Now this is great but what scares me is have I just wasted 3 guest posts because the data is incorrect. These blogs are run by 1 person and the kind of work involved to achieve those stats would be very heavy. Maybe this blogger has just hit the nail on the head with SEO and link building. Input anyone?

Ask a QuestionIs it possible to duplicate a report from one campaign to another one ?
Hi, Maybe it's easy to do and I've not seen it but I wonder wether or not it's possible to duplicate a report I've personnalised from one campaign to another one. I'd don't want to rewrite it and i'd like to have the same structure within all my reports ! Thanks,

MOZ Crawler only crawling one page per campaign
We set up some new campaigns, and now for the last two weekly crawls, the crawler is only accessing one page per campaign. Any ideas why this is happening? PS - two weeks back we did "upgrade" the account. Could this have been an issue?

Different Moz Scores Between Page and Subdomain
The Moz scores for a page-specific website:: www.website.com are different than the subdomain: www.website.com/. www.website.com: Page MozRank: 4.58
Moz Pro | | DanSpeicher
Page MozTrust: 4.9 www.website.com/ Subdomain MozRank: 5.21
Subdomain MozTrust 5.18 Does that have any significance? Should I be routing pages to the " / " version? Thanks, Daniel0 -
