Can I use wildcards "*" when setting up a new Moz campaign?
-
Basically I would like the Moz crawler to focus on a specific section of our domain. We do not bucket things via folder groups, so the use of wildcards would be applicable to us.
Our URL structure:
Is the example below a valid input to track the above URL structure?
Thanks.

I don't believe it's on the current roadmap, but you can check and add this and/or any feature request here: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-Moz-Feature-Requests

That's too bad... unfortunately our business is too large to simply restructure the URLs, and such a project would take quite a long time to complete. Anyways, having the ability to segment site sections with wildcards would have enabled us to hone our campaign setups.
Not a huge ordeal. Now I need to reconsider how we setup our campaigns moving forward.
Thank you Federico.

Unfortunately, as this point, I think Moz isn't capable of doing that, although it would be a nice feature, however, Moz would still need to crawl the entire site to find the URLs that matching the URLs that match your wildcard settings, ending up in the entire site being crawled.
I am guessing you use some kind of CMS for those pages, maybe wordpress, then you can change the URL structure to be something like domain.com/blog/* and then create a campaign for domain.com/blog.
Anyways, you can contact moz at help@moz.com asking if they are planning to add such a feature.
(I run a test prior to this response to see if that worked, it didn't.)

Campaign Setup Re-Direction
Hello!I am trying to setup my first campaign, we have a GEOIP re-direct in place for the .co.uk domain to go to the .com site however we have specified that bots do not get re-directed.When I enter the .co.uk domain name at setup stage I get the following message: "We have detected that the domain mywebsiteco.uk redirects to www.mywebsite.com. We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track www.mywebsite.com for this campaign instead?" I have setup the rogerBot user agent in Firefox to see if I get re-directed but I do not so I can't figure out why i'm getting this message. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Chirs

When connecting your Google Analytics account to your Moz account, Moz provides a drop-down of accounts & UA codes to select from. Where is Moz pulling those selection options from?
The list of Google Analytics accounts and UA codes listed are outdated. How can I update them to reflect the most up-to-date accounts (& UA codes associated with those accounts)?

Is analytics data kept after PRO account is discontinued? And/or can we step back up later again, and acces it?
When we discontinue our PRO account, will we be able to step back up with the same account later? If so, is there any data of the intermediate months? And can we still access old data from during our PRO account from the free account?
