Ranktracker entire subdomain option
-
About http://ranktracker.seomoz.org ...
if I search on Google for "my phrase" I can see **www.**mysite.com on first place
Doesn't this mean that I should see a similar position on ranktracker if I type "http://mysite.com" (without www) and I select the "Entire Subdomain" radio button ? Because this shows that I am NOT in top 50.
It does show up if I type my site with www and I select eider "entire subdomain" or "exact url" radio button.
Thank you.

Hi Adrian,
Sort of.
Here's an example of how this works. You want to conduct a search for the keyword - SEO - for the sub-domain www.seomoz.org.
-
If you choose the "Exact URL" radial, we'll only look for that keyword ranking on that particular page (i.e. SEO on www.seomoz.org).
-
If you choose the "Entire Subdomain" radial, we'll look for that keyword ranking on any page within that sub domain.
Unfortunately, neither of these apply if you're trying to gather rankings data for your root domain because we currently don't look for ranking data for root domains in Rank Tracker Unlike our campaigns, Rank Tracker doesn't include any subdomains if you type in a root domain and choose the 'Entire Subdomain" radial.
Best,
Sam

@SamWeber So the "Entire Subdomain" option actually means "All pages of this domain" and not "All sub-domains of this domain" ?

Hi Adrian!
Thanks for the question and sorry for the confusion here. The reason why you're seeing this is because we don't actually track rankings for root domains in Rank Tracker. My recommendation would be to submit this as a feature request for our Product team to review. They look at this daily and use it to plan out our roadmap so hopefully they'll be able to add it in sooner rather than later
In the meantime, I'll reach out internally to see if we can update the messaging on our Rank Tracker page to make this a little clearer. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other question!
Best,
Sam

In OpenSiteExplorer, why is HTTPS not an option?
Our website (https://www.guardly.com) is using secure HTTPS protocols. For whatever reason, in the "Top Pages" section, OpenSiteExplorer only has pages that were online years ago and hasn't updated its index to retrieve index and show links for HTTPS pages. It's pretty frustrating as we are trying to optimize our website and it's really hard to get feedback/data from the service for new pages on our website. Any comments/thoughts would be really helpful.

Why does SEOmoz assign such a high Domain Authority to subdomains on blogspot, typepad, wordpress.com, etc.?
I thought it was generally accepted that the search engines treat joesmith.wordpress.com and www.wordpress.com as completely different domains. In which case, a cute but obscure blog like http://monkeysalwayslook.typepad.com/ has no business having a DA of 95.

Is it possible to use the RankTracker to track specific location rankings?
We are a regional store and tracking the "global" rankings isn't super useful. We need to know what our organic rankings are for our specific market area. Is this possible with the SEOMOZ Rank tracker tool? I didn't see this option but I just wanted to check over here since it seems like it would be a pretty common issue. Thanks!

Settings to crawl entire site
Not sure what happened but I started a third campaign yesterday and only 1 pages was crawled, The other two campaigns has 472 and 10K respectively. What is the proper setting to choose in the beginning of campaign setup to have the entire site crawled. Not sure what I did different and I must be reading the instructions incorrectly. Thanks, Don

OSE Domains & Subdomains
Is there a compelling reason that OSE treats subdomains as part of a parent domain, rather than as a separate site? Or is this just a technical limitation? I ask because it's my understanding that Google treats subdomains more like separate domains than like parts of the parent domain. OSE treating them more like folders creates some frustrating situations when researching niches that are heavily filled with blospot and wordpress.com blogs. First of all, the domain authority in these situations is not at all indicative of the strength of the site. It also makes it hard to evaluate linking root domains at a glance, since all blogspot blogs count as one domain. So to see all blogspot sites linking you have to go to the full link list -- where each site may be listed hundreds of times -- and you can't group them because they're all considered the same domain. To be sure you when researching these niches you can just throw out domain authority as a metric, and export every report to excel where you can sort things in a way to make it easier to separate sites. But if there isn't a compelling SEO reason to have OSE function this way, I'd love to see those subdomains treated as separate sites so I can have access to all the easy to use SEOmoz metrics and layouts without the extra work. And of course if there is a compelling SEO reason for subdomains to be treated as domains, I'd love to be educated! : )

How to download an entire Website (HTML only), ready to rehost
Hi all, I work for a large retail brand and we have lots of counterfeit sites ranking for our products. Our legal team seizes the websites from the owners who then setup more counterfeit sites and so forth. As soon as we seize control of a website, the site content is deleted and subsequently it falls out of the SERPs to be immediately replaced by the next lot of counterfeit sites. I need to be able to download a copy of the site before it is seized, so that once I have control of it I can put the content back and hopefully quickly regain the SERPs (with an additional 'counterfeit site' notice superimposed on that page in JS). Does anyone know or can recommend good software to be able to download an entire website, so that it can be easily rehosted? Thanks FashionLux (Edited title to reflect only wanting to download html, CSS and images of site. I don't want the sites to actually be functional - only appear the same to Google)
