Why do you call it a Campaign?
-
I'm trying out PRO and have a simple question. Why do you call the main organizational unit in this tool a "Campaign"?
"Campaign" makes me think of advertising or direct mail - run over a specific period of time to a specific audience. But, "Campaign" in SEOmoz PRO seems to mean a collection of keywords plus a domain.
Is the idea that I'm investing time an money in this collection of keywords in some sort of a structured campaign (using SEO techniques) and then using PRO to track performance against a baseline?
By the way, the tool seems great and I love the useful data it provides. I guess I'm really trying to understand the SEO mindset the underpins the design of PRO.
Thanks for any help!

Or that they're terrorists!

In the SEOmoz dashboard context, it means a domain and a collection of keywords.
I suspect they decided to set the tool up this way and needed a label for this function, and chose this word because it seemed suitable.

Thanks for answering my post.
I can't think of a better name. Campaign is fine. I'm just trying to understand what "campaign" means in the SEO context.

Hi Mark, sounds like you grasp the basic concept of what the SEO Campaign entails as such, out of curiosity what would be a better name for it?
Other things the Campaign does not mentioned in your description is providing weekly updates on page optimizations reports, traffic via source type (brand, organic, paid), crawl reports, link analysis and competitive analysis.
It is a little funny when you think about what words mean, it is almost relative to the person whom hears them. We recently started labeling our production workers locations to help us track inventory, after much debate we decided to name the locations as manufacturing cells, or cells for short. All was great until the production workers showed up and said they now have an underlying feeling they are in prison.

Campaign set-up: root domain vs. subdomain
Hi, I have a question about the proper way to set up a new SEOmoz campaign for a simple 5-page website (home, about, services, blog, contact). If I'm tracking only www.domain.com, does it make a difference if I set it up to track just that subdomain or should I track it at the root domain? Is it better to use the root domain? Are there pros or cons to using one over the other? If the website is expanded in the future, any future pages will most likely be on the same subdomain (e.g., www.domain.com/page). Thanks in advance! Carolina

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.

SEOmoz indicating duplicate page content on one of my campaigns
Hello All, Alright, according to SEOmoz's PRO campaign manager, one of my websites is returning about 2,700 pages that supposedly have duplicate content. I checked a few of them manually and am not seeing where the issue lies. Is anyone else experiencing something similar to this and do you know if it is just a glitch with the crawl? Here are 2 of the pages it is indicating have dup page content: http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-3120-1994-98-59l-12v-dodge-cummins-carbon-fiber-hoods.aspx http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-90-dodge-cummins-94-02-59l-12v24v.aspx Any insight would be greatly appreciated! -Craig
