I’d like to set up a Moz campaign that crawls just the primary website, not subdomains

Is this something you could help with? (it either bombs or crawls everything, so I assume I’m missing something in the campaign settings, or it’s just not possible.

Hey, thanks for reaching out to us!
You can block our crawler from crawling specific subdomains of your site by excluding our user-agent from the subdomains robots.txt file. Our user agent is "rogerbot" and the directive would look something like this:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /You will want to make sure that this is associated with the robots.txt file specific to the subdomain you want to block.
You can read more about Rogerbot in our guide.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere?
