Hi Chiaryn:
I thought this would be a really helpful platform however it is more frustrating than not. I am not able to add competitors in my campaign. I am able to change the 3 that appear in the campaign but NOT able to add a competitor.

Hi Angelos,
Thanks for writing in. Unfortunately, at this time, we are only able to track competitors at the subdomain level within the campaigns and we can't limit it to just the specific subfolder or page. I'm really sorry about that!
If your competitor only has one page that is relevant to your business, you may still be able to get valuable information by adding the subdomain, since we will only report on the URL from their site that is ranking for your specific keywords.
I would recommend adding a request for the ability to limit which pages of the competitor subdomain we track to our feature request forum. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
You can add your request there and vote for other features you'd like to see, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The problem is not that the link is new ( which is not ) it tells me that i cannot add links with /path.
The only problem is that the link i have as a competitor is www.competitorslink.com/magazine
nothing else.

What's the exact problem you're facing? Sometimes competing pages may cause problems if that page is relatively new. Plug the URL into http://www.opensiteexplorer.org and see if that page's stats have been indexed by SEOmoz yet. If you get some stats and still can't add your competing page, then I suggest you open a help ticket with the moz team

Finding competitors best keywords?
How do I learn my competitor's best keywords? I realize I can add more keywords to my campaign but the problem is - I am not sure I am thinking of the right keywords. I don't want to compare with the keywords I am targeting - I want to know what THEY are targeting.

Our site being outranked by competitors with lower "moz" scores - due to on-page SEO?
Howdy, Our SEO efforts are doing well, but for a few keywords it seems we cannot budge one of the competitors sitting in spot #1. Through some competitive analysis I've noticed that our website has a much higher mozRank with regards to both page and domain compared to the current #1 spot. My question is what kind of factors could be the issue as to why we are still being outranked. Is it simply a case of poor on-page SEO at this point or should I be taking the mozRanks with a grain of salt.
