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

Seomoz legacy pages?
Hello, I am finding that I miss several of the old seomoz sections. The legacy tools in particular like the visual website comparison. Where is that now? Also, where is the ongoing list of the top 100 sites? So much was lost in the shift to MOZ, I hope some of the good old stuff is still available. Thank you, Nolan

Can you set-up a manual SEOmoz crawl?
I received a crawl report yesterday, made some site changes, and would like to see if those changes were done correctly. Rather than wait a week for my automatic crawl to be generated, is there anyway to initiate a manual crawl on a single subdomain as a PRO member? As a PRO member, you can schedule crawls for 2 subdomains every 24 hours, and you'll get up to 3,000 pages crawled per subdomain. When we've finished crawling, your reports will be sent to your PRO email address, which is currently From here... http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

How to track with SEOMOZ a website in several language
Hi, We have a customer with a website in EN, FR and ES. They used Joomfish, so each language is in a subdirectory : sitename/en sitename/fr sitename/es and they want their website to be well placed on the web for all that languages and countries: English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. It is a website for specific affiliation, that's why there is no barriers. What I need to do to use the best way SEOmoz. For the moment I created one campaign following Google US, google Germany and Google France. To go deeper, I would need to create different campaigns in my account? And also, your robot will be able to recognize the different subdirectories and languages? And to improve the SEO of this website, it wouldn't be better to have 3 domains name, one for each country? Thanks a lot in advance for your answer, Anne
