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!

Confusion about how SEOMOZ crawler works...
So according to my SEOMOZ dashboard, I'm ranking between #3-4 for one of my keywords. My keyword is 'Boston Wedding Photographer'. My site is http://www.symbolphoto.com I show up in google places, true. But i was wanting to rank organically. Am i right in the assumption that Google Places and Google Organic are not the same thing? SEOMOZ claims 3,4th but not organically(Assuming they aren't the same thing) I get pretty good traffic right now being in Places, but i can't help but feel that organically ranking would bring more traffic. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. TIA! -Brendan

Started my first campaign - keyword rankings do not match
Hello, I started my first campaign on SEOmoz and my keword position do not match the results I receive by using google search or by using another SEO program. For example - Ingersoll Watches should be on position 6 on google.com - SEOmoz shows me Ingersoll Watches is on 16. Why does SEOmoz show different results? Thank you for your attention!

Seomoz Customer Service does anyone feel let down
I would like to know if anyone else feels let down by seomoz and their customer service. I will give you a couple of examples why i feel let down. I contacted customer services over an issue a couple of weeks a go and never got an answer from them, and the second issue is the private question that you can ask. I asked many days ago and it was an important question and it has still not been answered. I am just wondering what we are paying for by using this site and if other customers of this service feel let down like me.

SEOmoz LDA tool experience?
http://www.seomoz.org/labs/lda Does anyone presently use this tool as a regular part of their SEO analysis? Does anyone have any updates regarding this tool? It is still in the lab despite no updates for over 6 months. Is it being retired? Or promoted to production? If you do use the tool, what % of relevance is your goal when optimizing pages?
