Ranktracker entire subdomain option

[adrianTNT]

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.

@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,
