Should I setup separate campaigns for my website and blog?
-
Both the website and blog are hosted on the same domain, just wondering if I should setup separate campaigns under SEOmoz for each? If so, why would this be helpful?

Under where you put your url it says: Exact url or check entire subdomain
So, assuming you are optimizing pages, put in the exact url: http://www.tatango.com/company
If you want to check where you rank for sms advertising on the whole, use the subdomain www.tatango.com
-
When using the Keyword Ranking Tool, where do I select "check entire subdomain"?

Total sense. When using the keyword ranking tool you can use any url or you can use entire subdomain. If you want to see where tatango.com ranks for sms advertising and only want to see it as the home page/landing page, put exact url. If you want to see how the site performs based on that same search term use entire subdomain.
On that term sms advertising, the home page is position 20 on Google. If you use /blog you do not rank. But, if you use /blog and click on check entire subdomain, it will again show the position 20.
When checking specific urls (pages) we always use specific url and the terms we have optimized for.
Hope this helps.

Do you know if when I look at keyword rankings for Tatango.com, that also brings up keyword ranking for tatango.com/(anything), or is it displaying keyword rankings for just tatango.com and nothing else? Does that make sense?

Derek,
From a quick look at both, it appears the only page difference is the one with /blog. Personally, I would not see a reason to run separate campaigns on them. I would prefer to save the others for something that will provide you more actionable data.
You can always use the other tools to check the blog: Rank tracker, on page optimizer, etc.

Problems with Crawl Diagnostics/New Campaign
Hi all I added a new domain to my campaigns yesterday and got the usual message saying we will have a small set of results ready in a couple of hours, and the rest will be done in a week or so. 24 hours later, this same message is still showing. Anyone else experiencing this or is it just related to my domain? Many thanks. Carl

Best Chrome extension to find contact emails on a website
Hi, I've done some digging around the Q and A and SEOMoz articles. Still not finding exactly what I need. I'm just looking for a tool that will quickly help me find the best contact email on a particular website. Whether it be the one the site is registered to a different one or both. Thanks in advance for the help. Aaron

Problem crawling a website with age verification page.
Hy every1, Need your help very urgent. I need to crawl a website that first has a page where you need to put your age for verification and after that you are redirected to the website. My problem is that SEOmoz, crawls only that first page, not the whole website. How can I crawl the whole website?, do you need me to upload a link to the website? Thank you very much Catalin

Can not start a SEO MOZ campaign?
I keep getting this message, I have a 301 from my domain to my domain with the www prefix. What's the deal? We have detected that the domain www.photosbykristopher.com and the domain photosbykristopher.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

What's the best way to switch a campaign from sub-domain tracking to root domain tracking?
I realized after the fact that one of my campaigns also has a mobile website sub-domain that I'd like to track (ex: http://m.website.com). How can I switch this campaign over to root domain tracking without deleting everything and starting over?

In competitive domain analysis my website shows pages that I no longer have.
When I go to my campaign, link analysis, under competitive comparison/followed backlinks, the 5 pages under Anchor Text/Target URL, supposedly on my website, are not on my website anymore. I recently moved my domain name to another server (before signing up for seomoz) and deleted the forum associated with my website. Those 5 pages are all from that now extinct forum. What's going on?

About the rankings report in the Pro Dashboard, does it track the ranking of every page on a root domain, or just the home page or whichever page you set up the campaign with?
I noticed that one of the pages on my root domain has a #5 rank for a keyword, yet the ranking report says that there are no results in the top 50. So I am assuming it is only tracking the home page. That is one thing I liked about the Rank Tracker, that it would find any page that was ranking on a root domain. Thanks, Lara
