Reliable Tracking of Campaign with Subdomain and Subfolder
-
Hi,
i was wondering if i can rely on the tracking for a campaign like
subdomain.example.com/subfolder/
The idea is to measure all the data regarding e.g. one specific language within a subdomain and use the tools based on this data.
Thank you in advance.

Correct. When you setup to campaign a subfolder, you will only get crawl diagnostics and reports for that particular subfolder.
SEOMoz Help states, "The PRO Web App crawls, grades and checks rankings only for pages found on that domain or subfolder. When tracking a subfolder, we will only crawl pages that exist in that specific folder. We will not crawl links that go to other folders."
If you were to create 2 campaigns:
And both pages are in English, you will get different crawl diagnostics and other metrics for these campaigns.
Does that make sense?

Thank you, Mike.
The Crawl Diagnostics data of a sub folder is always a substitution from the Crawl Diagnostics data of the root domain, *.example.com/ right?
What about having the same language for 2 countries in different sub folders? Does it distort the data?

When you create a new campaign, choose:
"Subfolder
Track a specific subfolder. Note that the subfolder path must resolve or we will not be able to crawl the content of that folder.
Examples: www.seomoz.org/tools, guides.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization"
From your example and the second example in the quote above, you should be able to do the subdomain.example.com/subfolder structure.
Hope this helps.
Mike

How do you create tracking URLs in Wordpress without creating duplicate pages?
I use Wordpress as my CMS, but I want to track click activity to my RFQ page from different products and services on my site. The easiest way to do this is through adding a string to the end of a URL (ala http://www.netrepid.com/request-for-quote/?=colocation) The downside to this, of course, is that when Moz does its crawl diagnostic every week, I get notified that I have multiple pages with the same page title and the dup content. I'm not a programming expert, but I'm pretty handy with Wordpress and know a thing or two about 'href-fing' (yeah, that's a thing). Can someone who tracks click activity in WP with URL variables please enlighten me on how to do this without creating dup pages? Appreciate your expertise. Thanks!

In the middle of Link Building campaign! Do you think Dog Blogs are a good Idea?
Hello Again, Here's I thing, my main website is my Digital Web Agency www.FenwayMedia.co.uk but I also hold good affinity with dog lovers on Facebook over 2100 friends and have a website www.Sepperro.com dedicated to my kennel of 9 racing Siberian huskies. In return I would give them exposure to my dog mediums (articles, links etc.) My only slight concern was relevance. However my thinkning is that as a Digital Agency surely you would be expected to have links coming from all sorts of sources as you "may" have had some input into the development of their site/ marketing etc. What do you guys think? Thank you once again. Kind Regards, Craig

Campaign web crawl has failed last 4 times
I have 4 websites setup in my pro dashboard. The only site that isn't getting crawled is an HTTPS site. It has worked for over a year, but the past 4 crawls (an entire month now) has returned only one page crawled. Is there something going on with the crawler? I really need to be able to see these stats. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Cannot see Bing rank in Campaign
Hi guys I have included Bing en-GB in my engine list for rankings on one of my websites, however, the actual rank placements are not showing at all in the results, even though a search in Bing shows my site is top on some of the keywords and near top on some of the others. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks Nick
