Ranking Tracking Internal Folders
-
We would like to track the rankings for an internal site. The website runs inside a big corporate website, url example www.domain.com/za/.
How can we effectively track the rankings of only the website inside the folder?
There is currently no sub domain setup for this site.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Ilse,
If you are a PRO member, there's a super simple way to do this within the campaign platform.
1. Start a new campaign, and at the very beginning you'll see a screen like this:
<fieldset class="setup">
Which parts of your domain would you like to track for this campaign?
<label for="campaign_campaign_type_subdomain"> Subdomain</label>
Track one subdomain.
Examples: www.seomoz.org, guides.seomoz.org, pro.seomoz.org
<label for="campaign_campaign_type_rootdomain"> Root Domain</label>
Track at root domain level. Track all the different subdomains within this root domain.
Example: The root domain seomoz.org has www.seomoz.org, guides.seomoz.org, and pro.seomoz.org all as subdomains within the root domain. If we discover pages on any of the subdomains during our crawl, they'll be included in the data we display.
<label for="campaign_campaign_type_subfolder"> Subfolder</label>
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
</fieldset>
2. Make sure to pick subfolder, the last choice. Then enter the specific folder path for your campaign, like www. domain.com/za
This will track rankings for this specific subfolder only. Easy as pie!

Add a separate analytics code on a sepparate analytics account Register the www.domain.com/za/ url in webmaster tools and so on. treat it like any normal website just with a different link.

Keyword Rankings Report Accuracy
How many of you routinely have inaccurate data in your Moz Pro keyword rankings reports? I just checked 5 of our terms that came in this morning - yes, it's a not logged in, non-personalized, incognito, cleared cache search - and none of them actually ranked where Moz said they ranked. One was listed in the top 5 and wasn't even on the first page. One was listed at position 3 but was actually at position 8, a big difference when it comes to CTR. And the report will have stuff like our brand name not ranked at all one week, then jumping by 45+ positions the next week, then gone the next week. And it doesn't fluctuate like that. I get that the reports are general to what most people see, but should such big disparities be expected?

Has MozTrust predicted fall in Google rankings???
The definition of MozTrust is:
Moz Pro | | driansmith
"MozTrust is SEOmoz's global link trust score. It is similar to MozRank but rather than measuring link popularity, it measures link trust. Receiving links from sources which have inherent trust, such as the homepages of major university websites or certain governmental web pages, is a strong trust endorsement." That being the case it is quite disturbing that a number of websites have been hit very badly by the latest Google algorithm changes that did indeed have very respectable MozTrust rankings. Can I ask whether anybody has carried out any sort of analysis of MozTrust versus negative impact in Google rankings? The prediction would of course be that websites suffering from a lower MozTrust would have been hit quite badly by these recent changes.0 -

Ranking
Why is comunicatedepresa.net ranking better than comunicatedepresa.ro for the term "comunicate de presa" Absolutely ALL the factors (links, domains linking, authority, onpage etc) seem to say that comunicatedepresa.ro should have ranked better.

Domain Authority: Sites with lower numbers get higher ranking.
We had a question about your online tools for http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/30642 The Domain Authority for http://pucherinsurance.com/ is 67: Higher than most of our competitors such as <cite><cite>bluecross.ca which has a rank of 54. </cite> </cite> We show up lower in the actual search results. An example phrase would be Visitors to Canada health Insurance. We get an A grade for onsite reports and we are working on the duplicate content and titles. We appear to be doing everything right but still rank lower than expected. Any thoughts?
