How do you tell SEOmoz to ignore a subdomain?
-
We have a subdomain that I don't want to show up in our root SEOmoz campaign. How do I tell SEOmoz to ignore it?
-
Hi John,
You'll want to enter the www.example.com in the campaign, so we crawl JUST the www subdomain. We don't often think of it this way, but www is a subdomain.
-
That is actually what I want. How is that done?
-
Hi John,
Thanks for the question.
Unfortunately though, there is no way to have one campaign specifically ignore a single subdomain and still crawl all other subdomains.It would be possible to set two subdomain campaigns if your site was set as such:
www.example.com
blog.example.comBut anything outside of either of those subdomains would not be touched.
Thanks,
Joel. -
Ah, misunderstood you. I don't think what you are trying to do is possible but you should ask someone who works for SEOMoz to confirm.
-
But I want the subdomain to be craweled, just under a different SEOmoz campaign. Blocking it in the robots.txt file will prevent that.
-
Well the subdomain should have its own folder where you can create you own robots.txt file for. That would only block the subdomain from being crawled.
If you don't have a separate folder, check out this Q&A.

That would prevent SEOmoz from crawling it completely. I don't want that. I want the subdomain to be crawled under a different campaign. I want the data for the subdomain, but the number of pages is much greater than the root domain, and is just a lot of noise when looking at the root domain. It's drowning it out. SEOmoz has no option to control this?
-
You can block the SEOmoz spider via robots.txt on the subdomain

Site Not Indexing & SEOMoz Reporting ZERO On-Page Report Crawls
Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated. One of my sites, aironeairsolutionsinc.com, has recently been rebuilt and the pages tweaked for some basic optimization. Based on my experience, those tweaks (geared toward keywords with relatively low competition locally) usually bump my local sites up into the top 20 or 30 at worst. 3 weeks later, it seems my site is still not indexing with Google. In addition, I AM NOTICING THAT THE ON PAGE REPORTS IN SEO MOZ ARE NOT REGISTERING THAT ANY PAGES ARE BEING CRAWLED. Again, any help from Moz staff would be awesome! :} Thanks, Ricky

I'm shocked! KEYWORD SERPs: GA avg. position vs. SEOmoz
SEOmoz has us our position for a particular keyword as "Not in Top 50". The same keyword is listed in GA with an average position of. 3.0. What am I missing here? When I do a search, I most definitely am not seeing us listed as #3 for this keyword, and tend to believe the SEOmoz number, but why is it so wildly different in GA? Should I have hope? There is another keyword that SEOmoz has us at #4 and it isn't even on the GA list. Can anyone explain this to me? Many thanks.

SEOmoz report vs. Google's Algo
Hello, I got an SEOmoz Report for one of our clients and the report is showing these pages and many more others as duplicate page content. Thing is the page content is not duplicate however there is very little data differentiating the contents. My question is does Google see the following pages contents as duplicate? because seomoz does. http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/img_9632/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/newly-renovated-in-victory-park.html/3-2/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/pedestrian-friendly-uptown-west-village.html/attachment/18/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/img_4322/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/historic-deep-ellum-lofts.html/2012-08-18-11-24-30/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/pedestrian-friendly-uptown-west-village.html/attachment/13/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/842-4/

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?
