Creating a campaign for a folder is not possible
-
Hi There!
I just signed up for a free pro account to see whether it is something for us as a company I tried to set up two campaigns.
With the first for our root domain (koopgoedkoop.nl) it all went perfect. I am now trying to set up a campaign for our BBQ page (http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues.html) but I can't? Is it because our URL ends with .html?
Here's a screenshot: http://bit.ly/x2zdCd Thanks for your help in advance!

This why I am here for
Good luck!
(Check for those duplicates too, it can cause you some trouble if not eliminated)
-
Alright, will do. Thank you for your time!!
-
Hmm... I will tell you a less good news... There you are creating duplicate content, because it is not a redirect and you don't have a canonical neither.
Regarding the original question... I would address the helpteam regarding this one, because they can tell you in details if Roger-bot will crawl your data (as you have requested) or not. you can contact them at help@seomoz.org

Will using "http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues/" do the job, even when the link doesn't work? (when you go to that link, you are redirected to the home). Or should our IT department first fix that the links work without the .html?
(Thank you for your patience :))

It can happen to anyone.
So first of all, with question like this you can always go to the help team, they will be more than happy to help you out and can help you step-by-step to resolve issues.
Secondary, I am happy you came to the community, because we are here to help:
I would advice you to target the /garden/ sub-folder or the http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues/
This way you will provide Roger a sub-folder and not a single page
So instead of adding the url: http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues.html try using http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues/
It should do the job.

I feel really, really stupid but I have no idea what you mean with sub-folder and one page (sorry, rather new to SEO AND blonde ;-)). The page I am linking to is our BBQ category page. Is that not possible?
-
Hey Do,
You are trying to target one page and not one sub-folder, this is causing the error which Roger "detected".

Istvan

Should I use location in keywords in a campaign?
We're setting up 25 campaigns for clients and many of the keywords in each are identical. Rather than creating a keyword with a specific location for each client (pool builder san francisco), would it be more effective to use only "pool builder" as the keyword and then set the location for the San Francisco area? I'm concerned that we are going to run out of our keyword allotment since many of our clients have multiple locations.

What keywords should I use in my campaign.
I am a chiropractor. I only compete against web sites in my town. Should my key words be neck pain, back pain? Or should it be neck pain Bloomington Illinois and low back pain Bloomington Illinois? I am referring to the campaigns I just started. (I am new)

SEOmoz campaign - keyword rankings...
Hi there, I have a quick question: Does it make a difference if I add keywords to a campaign with the '[' and ']' brackets included? I just realized that I had copy/pasted many of my keywords from the exported CSV from the Google AdWords Keyword Tool and I fear that the keyword rankings on SEOmoz might factor the brackets as part of the keywords themselves. Thanks in advance! Ben

Is there a way in in the pro campaign to initiate an instant crawl?
I have a campaign that's on a very small website at this point. It's only 9 pages, so a crawl would only take a few minutes. Is there a way to start a quick crawl at my request instead of having to wait a week to see if I fixed the issues it found during the last crawl? I've been hunting around, but I don't see a way.

How come the external on-page report tool is better than the campaign one?
There is more covered (in terms of checking on-page factors) when using the external report tool than when using the actual campaign one... will the external features be added into the campaign one?

Root or subfolder campaign for e-commerce
Hi there, New to Moz and have just signed up to the pro package. I run a menswear website in the UK, and I want to start a campaign looking at 1 or 2 brands (Money Clothing and Cruyff Trainers). What I would like to know is, when starting a campaign for say Money Clothing, should I use my root domain www.designerboutique-online.com/ or should I use my Money Clothing domain (www.designerboutique-online.com/all-clothing/money-clothing/ ? Then once I do this, do I use my competitors subfolder pages or do I use their root domain? I tried to use 1 competitor as a subfolder and I think it gave an error saying I cannot use / after the domain? Any help on what would be the best approach for me to begin targeting my specific brands and how to compare them against my competitors. Cheers

Campaign Manager Keyword Rankings all messed up???
My campaign in SEO Moz Campaign Manager has just ran it's weekly crawl, and all my keyword rankings are messed up. 18 keywords have apparently dropped by massive amounts, but when I do a physical search, they haven't moved. Also Keyword Tracker agrees with the physical search, so why is the Campaign Manager showing the wrong rankings all of a sudden??
