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

In alt tag of a image can we use #hashtag or domain.com ? Is that good SEO or not allowed ?

Some of the Google Search shows a title has a hashtag of an article, which contain keyword and while tweeting them, the title which has a hashtag automatically very good used for getting traffic to the blog. And other one, can we use the hash tag inside the alt attribute ? Or our domain name with .com in it. Like Google.com or #Google ?

Campaign report errors

one of the heavily noted errors for the first crawl of our domain was duplicate titles. I did not see a list of the pages and their current titles, but i am pretty sure it is somewhere to be found. That would help focus the work to do. Am I wrong about that?

Report on a whole domain

Hi, I am wondering if I can run a report which gives me the OSE results for every page on a domain, as opposed to just a single page? Can't find this anywhere! thanks, Brian

Can I exclude a sub-domain from SEOMoz campaigns?

We have recently implemented a white label site that is on a sub-domain. The site employs noindex on most of the pages I imagine due to duplicate content concerns on other white label versions of the site. It has led to a spike of over 14 thousand notices on our report. Is there a way to exclude a sub-domain from the SEOMoz scans and reports?
