How to exclude a specific subdomain from SEOMoz Campaign?
-
Forgive me if I've overlooked something obvious, but how can I exclude a subdomain from a campaign? I want to crawl/analyze mywebsite.com, but not subdomain.mywebsite.com
Thanks in advance...

We're curious as well. This would be a feature that we would like to see.
-
Has this option been enabled as of yet? to change?

Hi there Aaron,
Thanks for the question, at this point we do not have that feature built into the campaign feature. We are hoping to add that to a future version of the tool, however we don't have a firm ETA. If you like to be kept in the loop you could subscribe to us on our FB page or our Twitter @SEOmoz
Best,

I have an existing campaign setup, is there a way to change it to only the root domain at this point?
-
Hey Aaron,
An other option would be dependent on how the site is setup. If you want to block the one subdomain and everything else exists on another, you could set your campaign up as a subdomain campaign for the one you want to crawl.
The downside is that if the site is spread among several subdomains you want to crawl you won't get everything.
I hope that works out for you.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks Joel. Unfortunately this particular subdomain is a CNAME to a hosted service where I don't have the ability to update a robots.txt file. Are there any other options?
-
Hey Aaron,
Thanks for the question!
The way to do that would be to actually set a robots.txt file under that subdomain and block the user-agent: RogerBot with a Disallow: /That will let our crawler run loose in your site without touching that subdomain.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Hi there,
On the campaign setup, you are given 3 options there:
subdomain, root domain and subfolder.
Try to change the setting to root domain so that only the mywebsite.com will be crawled and analyzed.
Hope that helps!

I cannot add a specific twitter account
Adding competitors twitter accounts, there is one that I've repeatedly tried to add but I keep getting - "Uh-oh! Account can not be tracked. Please enter a valid account". I've copied and pasted, manually typed, removed all caps... repeatedly get the same error. The other two accounts I added had no issue going in. Anyone else have something similar that they found a workaround for?

SEOMoz Q&A having some issues?
Apologies if this has been asked. I was browsing Q&A and got a Ruby error page, reloaded and everything was fine. However a bunch of the topics are kind of messed up, and it looks like a chunk of them are missing now. For example my 'questions I've answered' section of My Q&A only has the newest question and the oldest question, and when I sort the SEOMoz Tools category by newest I get one recent post and then the next one is from November of last year. You guys having database problems?

SEOMOZ Canonical notices using Wordpress
I keeping getting the notice from SEO Moz Crawls relating to Canonical issues. I have tried Yoast SEO, All-in-One SEO and both insert the appropriate canonical code... Can anyone help determine why the crawls report this notice? Check out seoontario.ca\testamonials for an example. Could it be because the site in my SEOMOZ crawl does not have the http:// prefix? I've now installed FV Simpler SEO, a variant of All In Once SEO, but am getting the same canonical code...
