Moz campaign for a subdomain with no home page

[Brando16]

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup a campaign in Moz for one of our subdomains that we use for marketing landing pages. Unfortunately there really is no home/landing page for the subdomain so when I enter it into the campaign settings it says the site isn't accessible.

Is there anyway for me to add this? I tried entering the subdomain with a star, e.g. pages.mydomain.com but it would not accept it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Brandon! Sorry to hear you're having trouble setting up your campaign.

There are a number of reasons the subdomain in question might be inaccessible. It's possible the crawler is being blocked on a server level, or that AWS is blocked, or that the page is returning another sort of server/client error. We're happy to help diagnose this if you write into help@moz.com with details about the specific domain you're trying to enter!

Hi Brandon

The Moz robot needs to find the pages somehow and it only crawls HTML links. Wildcards won't work because we can't expect the robot to guess every single character after the /

Can you create a sitemap homepage, which lists all pages?

If it can't be done then your best crawling tool is something like Screaming Frog, where you can submit the URLs manually.
