Does it make sense to have multiple campaigns for one website?
-
I'm new to SEO and SEOMoz. While setting up my campaigns, I was a bit confused. Do I need to setup separate campaigns for different pages of my site?
For example, I run a proofreading service: www.kibin.com
I obviously want to track keyword on the main page (like proofreading service), however, I also want to track keywords (like 'essay editing') on www.kibin.com/essay-editing
Should these be two separate campaigns or do I just put all the keywords into one campaign for kibin.com?
Thanks!

Glad it was helpful - good luck and I look forward to more Q&As with you!

Thanks Andrea, that's very helpful and it makes sense! I'll stick with one campaign.
And yes, there is duplicate content issues with our homepage and /essay-editing page... we're working on a redesign right now and will have it live in the next couple weeks. In the meantime, I'm setting up our Moz account and getting some crawl data to work with, doing keyword research, etc.
Thanks for providing some clarity.

Welcome! My two cents (and the great thing about this site is that you'll get plenty of opinions) is that I like one campaign per domain. For me, it's really about seeing what's happening within mysite - and, using your example, www.kibin.com/essay-editing is a page within your kibin.com domain.
Focusing on just a subfolder, like your essay-editing section, just limits your overall visibility into what's going on within your site. Personally, I look at the big picture then whittle down into the subfolders and whatnot.
Why do I have that preference? The pages have to live within the overall domain - I look at the relation between them, how they each rank, where I may cannibalize one vs the other, what page ranks well, what doesn't. This is what Moz campaigns are great for.
Moz will tell you which pages rank for which terms. You could learn that, again using your example, a different page is ranking for "'essay editing" than the one you seem to want, www.kibin.com/essay-editing.
(Although, having just looked at your main domain and your essay-editing page, they look exactly alike so there's duplicate content and possible cannibalization going on - or something isn't functioning properly and the page won't load; I didn't dig into it.)
Now, since you can set up multiple campaigns, there's nothing to stop you for doing both, either. You can always try it that way and see what data you see and then tweak as you'd like.

Hi Kibin,
No you shouldn't set multiple campaigns. Just simple add keywords to your campaign in section: Campaigns -> Manage Keywords
After crawling you can see the results in:
-
Rankings - keyword positions
-
On-Page - On Page Optimization Reports for Google ... how good page is optimized for specific keyword

What keywords should I use in my campaign.
I am a chiropractor. I only compete against web sites in my town. Should my key words be neck pain, back pain? Or should it be neck pain Bloomington Illinois and low back pain Bloomington Illinois? I am referring to the campaigns I just started. (I am new)

Confused on setting up my domain in a campaign
I have a website that is www.example.com. When I first setup my campaign in SEOMoz, I missed the instructions that stated I need to set up my domain as it appeared in the browser. Thus, I set it up as example.com. When I realized my mistake, I setup a second campaign as www.example.com and am running them side by side to see the differences. My question has to do with the best setup. I have a blog that is a subdomain as blog.example.com. It appears that the www.example.com campaign is not crawling the blog pages but example.com is. Are there any downsides in setting up this campaign as example.com? I have a number of other sites with the same issue so would like to get this resolved before I setup the additional sites. Thanks for any assistance or insights into ways I may be "shooting myself in the foot" with the wrong domain structure in my campaign settings.

How do you assess how strong the page is at number one already?
Would it be a question of trawling their site for their keywords and content? Are there tools that find their weaknesses? Does a campaign against a top ranking site simply come down to cost and writing content that competes for the keywords - if they already have strong on and off page, link building and multiplicity in place?
