Why can't I change the domain being tracked in my campaign?

Apologies if this has already been answered a million times and/or if I'm posting this in the wrong place... I did look, but couldn't find the answer anywhere...

I just realized that all this time I have been tracking www.mydomain.com in my campaign for a long time now, while I should probably have been tracking *.mydomain.com. I wanted to change this, but it looks like I can't. If I have to set up a whole new campaign, with all of the same keywords, competitive sites to track, etc., that will take forever.

Why can't I just change it so that my campaign starts tracking *.mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com from now on?

Thank you!

Why can't I change the domain being tracked in my campaign?

There are issues due to the campaign tracking historical information. In order to change the domain, you need to create a new campaign. I had asked this same question previously and Megan provided the helpful response below:

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for writing in!

Unfortunately, the tool doesn't allow the domain of a campaign changed once it's setup. It's limited in that way, because if the parameters of a campaign were constantly changing, it could make it extremely difficult to interpret historical data in terms of why progress was or wasn't made.

You'll need to set up a new campaign with the domain, but you can archive your current campaign so that you'll have all of the historical data for reference. Also, archiving doesn't take up a campaign slot.

I hope that helps!

Have a great day,
Megan

Is it possible to track rank history

I would like to know is it possible to track a keywords past ranking history? We would like to check the ranking history of some potential vendors, but only get data from the point I add them to Alabs, moz etc. Id like to go back a year to see the trend in their rankings. Is this possible and what tool or process can be used to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Can't find duplicate page content

Hi all. I'm trying to create a report to list all of my site's duplicate content that SEOmoz says we have. However when I click on the link it just shows me the title and description of the page. I don't know what the other page is that has duplicate content or what the duplicate content is. Where do I find this information? Thanks in advance!

Domain Authority is up, how do I find out what changed?

Hi, I’m a noob so if this is a really obvious question, I apologize. Our domain authority increased this week. I wonder if there is any easy way to find out what changed. (We didn’t do anything.) Thank you! Ann

Can I change the crawl day ?

Hi All I hope there is a simple solution to this - we have a number of campaigns setup which are all crawled, and therefore updated, on different days of the week. We review these weekly and it would be much easier if they were all crawled on the same day. Is it possible to change the crawl day for some campaigns? Thanks Roy
