Sorry Alan,
Obviously misread what you were asking.
The answer is No. You cannot change the domain name. The following is from the FAQ on campaign setup:
Q. Can I change the domain later?
A. You cannot change the domain of a campaign once it is created. If you need to track content, rankings, etc. on a new subdomain or domain, you must create a new campaign. Don’t panic – archiving and adding campaigns is easy.It is also not possible to duplicate the campaign and change details, so you will need to archive the old campaign and create a new one, but that is not so difficult to do.
The most arduous part of re-creating a campaign is adding the keywords, but this is also quite simple. All you need to do is export your keyword list to csv from the old campaign, open it in Excel, select the keywords in the first column and copy to your clipboard.
When you create the new campaign, just add one "placeholder" keyword in the screen that asks for keywords, then continue setup. When the campaign has been created, click "Manage Keywords" link at the top of the Overview page and paste the keywords from your csv file into the input field. Click Add Keywords and you're done.
If you choose a "placeholder" keyword that was not in the original list then you're fine. If you used one that was already in the list, you will just need to delete the duplicate so it does'nt mess up your reports.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Thanks but I want to change the domain name, not simply the name.
i could not see how you can change the domain name.

Hi Alan,
You can change the campaign name by clicking Settings in the campaign.
Just change the information in the Campaign name field and save.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Domain authority drop
Hi SEOmoz gurus, The last 2 months I am seeing a drop in the Domain authority for some of my clients. Some of them are old sites. Some are new (less than 6 months old) For the old sites I thought the reason for the drop might be caused by discounting the value of low quality backlinks. But this cannot be the case for the new sites - they have high quality backlinks from newspapers and I can't make any sense of the drop. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Might this be caused by a change in SEOmoz algorithm? Thanks!

Viewing past campaign reports
This is a basic SEOmoz question - Is there a way to view past campaign reports? I haven't manually "archived" any of my reports, because I didn't realize that may be important so it seems I might be out of luck on this. i would like to compare old reports to current ones and can't find a way to access the old reports.

Two different Domain Authorities for one site?
The "Domain Authority" of my site on the "Link Analysis" section of SEOmoz Pro (34) is different to what it is on Open Site Explorer (36) - how can this be? All I can think is that one hasn't been updated yet (I'm hoping the lower one!). Elucidation gratefully received! Alex

SEOmoz indicating duplicate page content on one of my campaigns
Hello All, Alright, according to SEOmoz's PRO campaign manager, one of my websites is returning about 2,700 pages that supposedly have duplicate content. I checked a few of them manually and am not seeing where the issue lies. Is anyone else experiencing something similar to this and do you know if it is just a glitch with the crawl? Here are 2 of the pages it is indicating have dup page content: http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-3120-1994-98-59l-12v-dodge-cummins-carbon-fiber-hoods.aspx http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-90-dodge-cummins-94-02-59l-12v24v.aspx Any insight would be greatly appreciated! -Craig

Is there any way to change the domain in a campaign here?
When I started the campaign I used site.com but now I have an external blog at blog.site.com and is hosted on tumblr. This site gets lots of errors showing on the campaign because insists on following no-follows. If I change the campaign to www.site.com then blog.site.com will not be part of the campaign. It does say in the help that it will NOT track sub-domains, but it does and hence my problem. So, I am not sure if the rest of the info there is old. 'Does the Web App track the subdomains of my campaign’s domain?

A. Unfortunately we do not currently track subdomains as a part of the
domain you enter. Instead, you must create another campaign slot for any
subdomains you wish to track.' Any ideas on where or how to do this?0
