New non-www. web address but the domain is the same
-
Hi Everyone,
we're launching a new WP website that has a non-www. web address. Old address www.1to1therapy.ca, new address http://1to1therapy.ca. A re-direct has been created for the www. address. It appears that this is causing an issue for the Moz page crawler. It is currently only crawling 1 page. I will set up a new campaign.
BUT
As best practice should I set up all new google analytics on http://1to1therapy.ca? It appears that the analytics are functioning correctly, but I'm unsure if any issues may arise from the change.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hey Jason!
I just checked your campaign, and since tracking was excluded to the subdomain you will need to create a new campaign. However, Dirk and Bryan should be correct in that your GA account should be just fine with those modifications they pointed out.
I hope this helps. Thanks everybody!

Dirk is correct. However, it's important that you also go into Google Search Console (formerly known as Webmaster Tools) and add the new version (or both if you have yet to use GSC). You can then tell Google which version of your site (www. or no) you consider the "proper" one, among other great things. You can ensure your 301s are working correctly, submit sitemaps, and check errors that Google may find.

No need to set up a new analytics - the old one will work just fine.
If both the www & non-www would be active at the same time and if you would still use the previous version of analytics (i.e. not Universal analytics) - you would need to make a modification to your tracking code - but as far as I understand this won't be the case.

Unsolved Overview for New Users
Hello, I'm looking for an overview for how to use some of the MOZ features for teammates that are unfamiliar with the full ins and outs of SEO. Or perhaps a list of tips to share out with them? Is there any sort of webinar or tips that you have available or perhaps a training they could attend? Thanks!

High total links, but very few root domains?
Hi Moz community!I've just joined and am getting to grips with SEO basics. Right now, I'm looking at the Competitive Link Metrics in Moz Pro, and I'm curious about the following- Of the three competitors that we're following, I'm trying to figure out some differences between two of them - we'll call them A and B. 'A' has 3.6k external followed and total links, with 5 total linking root domains. 'B' (a more prestigious and established company with a much higher DA) has 2.2k total external links, with 180 root domains. So my question is, how can A have nearly 1,000 more links, but only from 5 domains? Any feedback much appreciated! Thanks!

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? Regards Terry

Does the Moz crawler have a static ip address?
We block AWS from crawling our site. Does the moz crawler use a static ip address that we could allow? I'm currently not able to add a campaign because Moz can't connect to our site.

Why Moz New Users Are Left Alone?
New users when sign up to an application like Moz need concrete support to make them familiarized the basics at least, but Moz seems to be not realizing this hardship of the new users or intentionally ignoring it. There is no chat service or phone numbers to quickly contact the designated agent for some quick help. Mail responses that are received after much time have their limitations -- not much interactive. What the new users should do, because the Moz is not that simple for new users. [edited question for formatting]

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.

Setting up a new campaign after deactivating an old one
I set up a new campaign and had to go back to deactivate an existing one before I could activate it. Now I cant find the new one I set up, and when I try to re-input the info to set up the campaign it says that I cant because it already exists. Where do I find the campaign I already set up but couldn't activate??
