Reliable Tracking of Campaign with Subdomain and Subfolder
-
Hi,
i was wondering if i can rely on the tracking for a campaign like
subdomain.example.com/subfolder/
The idea is to measure all the data regarding e.g. one specific language within a subdomain and use the tools based on this data.
Thank you in advance.

Correct. When you setup to campaign a subfolder, you will only get crawl diagnostics and reports for that particular subfolder.
SEOMoz Help states, "The PRO Web App crawls, grades and checks rankings only for pages found on that domain or subfolder. When tracking a subfolder, we will only crawl pages that exist in that specific folder. We will not crawl links that go to other folders."
If you were to create 2 campaigns:
And both pages are in English, you will get different crawl diagnostics and other metrics for these campaigns.
Does that make sense?

Thank you, Mike.
The Crawl Diagnostics data of a sub folder is always a substitution from the Crawl Diagnostics data of the root domain, *.example.com/ right?
What about having the same language for 2 countries in different sub folders? Does it distort the data?

When you create a new campaign, choose:
"Subfolder
Track a specific subfolder. Note that the subfolder path must resolve or we will not be able to crawl the content of that folder.
Examples: www.seomoz.org/tools, guides.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization"
From your example and the second example in the quote above, you should be able to do the subdomain.example.com/subfolder structure.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Do I have to set up new SEOmoz campaigns after URL switch?
We switched hundreds of pages on our website from dynamic to static URLs (and optimized the static URLs for keywords), and did 301 redirects to the new URLs. Also submitted a new sitemap to Google. This was about a week ago. For my existing SEOmoz campaigns that have crawled since then, it looks like SEOmoz is still looking at all of the old dynamic URLs. Do I have to set up new campaigns with the same keywords in order to get SEOmoz to look at the new URLs, or will the SEOmoz crawlers figure it out over time? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help!

Campaign status stock in status "Next Crawl in Progress!
Has anyone else had an issue laetly where the campaign status was stock in _ **"Next Crawl in Progress!" **_? One of our campaigns has been in this status for the page 2 1/2 days and this has not happened in the past as there are only 597 pages for this campaign to crawl. I send a help ticket request to the SEOMOZ team but was wondering if this is an isolated issue or if other community members have also experienced it? Thanks.
