How do you tell SEOmoz to ignore a subdomain?
-
We have a subdomain that I don't want to show up in our root SEOmoz campaign. How do I tell SEOmoz to ignore it?
-
Hi John,
You'll want to enter the www.example.com in the campaign, so we crawl JUST the www subdomain. We don't often think of it this way, but www is a subdomain.
-
That is actually what I want. How is that done?

Hi John,
Thanks for the question.
Unfortunately though, there is no way to have one campaign specifically ignore a single subdomain and still crawl all other subdomains.It would be possible to set two subdomain campaigns if your site was set as such:
www.example.com
blog.example.comBut anything outside of either of those subdomains would not be touched.
Thanks,
Joel. -
Ah, misunderstood you. I don't think what you are trying to do is possible but you should ask someone who works for SEOMoz to confirm.
-
But I want the subdomain to be craweled, just under a different SEOmoz campaign. Blocking it in the robots.txt file will prevent that.
-
Well the subdomain should have its own folder where you can create you own robots.txt file for. That would only block the subdomain from being crawled.
If you don't have a separate folder, check out this Q&A.

That would prevent SEOmoz from crawling it completely. I don't want that. I want the subdomain to be crawled under a different campaign. I want the data for the subdomain, but the number of pages is much greater than the root domain, and is just a lot of noise when looking at the root domain. It's drowning it out. SEOmoz has no option to control this?

You can block the SEOmoz spider via robots.txt on the subdomain

No follow links also been reported in SEOmoz crawl diagnostics
Hi, Why does SEOmoz reports links which has been marked as 'nofollow'. I am getting 'Overly-Dynamic URL' reports on links which I have designated as nofollow which means Google will discount them. So why does SEOmoz still report them. Thanks.

Seomoz crawl: 4XX (Client Error) How to find were the error are?

How does SEOmoz pull its duplicate page title and content information?
I ask because I am getting errors based on URLs that do not even exist on our site. For example: http://www.robots.com/applications/abb/panasonic/robots this URL does not even exist for our site, but somehow it is listed in the error section of page title duplication tool. http://www.robots.com/applications/ exists, but there is no place to get to an ABB or a Panasonic robot from this page, not to mention an ABB/Panasonic (which for sure does not exist). ?? We have quite a few of these out there and just wondering how to find out where the link is coming from. When we checked our URLs through Integrity, links like the one listed above (which we had 29 of them listed) that do not show up. Thoughts? Thanks! Janelle

How to set the crawler or reports to ignore
I have a mobile version of a site with a URL string that disables the mobile view on smartphones (view full site), string is like this example.com/page-name.html?mobile=off I need the seomoz pro reports or crawler to ignore it because the crawler visits both versions of the site then reports them as duplicate content. Is there a setting page I haven't visited yet that will set this?

What software can I use on my Mac to open and read a SEOMoz CSV exported file?
I do not want to buy XL or Pages just to read the CSV from SEOMoz. So I bought an app on the AppStore... and this app is unable to read the CSV from SEOMoz. Since I already wasted $2, Id rather avoid to waste more (and avoid that to others too!). What software is recomanded to open these CSV files? Also, I tried Google Docs, but I bumped in their 400K cells limit 😞

Why Is SEOMOZ No Longer crawling All Of My Site
Hi all, I joined Seomoz over a month ago and Roger has been crawling all of the pages on the site approx 20 pages. Through out the last few weeks I have been working on the errors and notices identified by Roger. However, this week Roger has only re-crawled 1 page and is not picking up all the other pages. Has any one come across this problem. can you recommend any thing to resolve it? Many thanks in advance....

How can I track multiple pages using SEOMoz
Hi there, I setup my domain along with 20 keywords to target. One of the first things I learned is not to focus on too many keywords per page. For this reason I decided to create 5 sub pages and link these pages on my index page. My questions to you: 1. Does SEOMoz track the keyword rankings for the URL entered only?
Moz Pro | | debeenus
2. If the answer for 1 is YES, Would I have to setup those 5 extra URL's as new sites along with their 3 to 5 keywords? Thank you,0 -
Why does SEOMoz Pro only do Rankings Once a Week?
Not sure I understand why the SEOMoz PRO report of rankings only occurs once a week? Any ideas? Seems like it would be easy to just pull that ranking report at any time.
