Can you change the websites in your PRO Dashboard?
-
Hello,
I set a client's website in one of my 5 campaigns in my Pro Dashboard. But my client changed his domain. I don't see an option to change the domain server in the Campaign settings.
Is it possible?

Interesting. Keep us posted, will you Eblan? I'm curious to know how this works out.

I really hope I'm wrong & Jesse's right, but as I say - not how it's worked for me. I think you're safest to do both and cover your bases as you say. Worst case, all works as you hope and you can just delete the campaign I suggested.
I'm sure I saw a similar question which the Moz staff responded to saying the domain redirect wouldn't work, but haven't' been able o find it for you.
Good luck!
Paul

I will try this for sure once I have no campaigns left. Thank you very much for your time Nakul.

Thanks a lot Paul,
I guess I will do both. Just want to try Jesse's idea and verify it if I can. As usual, your info is of great help. I think I should set up the new campaign ASAP like you suggested, it is better for me and my client. Can't risk all the valuable info to get wasted.
Cheers!

Unfortunately, in my experience it's not going to work the way you hope (and assume), Eblan. Even with the redirects in place, it hasn't worked that way for me.
For example a clients site was domain.ca and they switched to domain.com. The campaign no longer collects data for the on-page reports for the original domain.
My advice would be, if you have any campaign slots left, create a new campaign for the new domain right away, so it can begin collecting data as soon as possible. Then if the old campaign drops out as I suspect, you'll have the new one up and running with as little lost data as possible (You can copy/paste keyword lists etc across from campaign to campaign).
The old campaign can be archived to free up another slot when you need it, but still keep the data available for future reference if you need to go back to it. That is to say, don't delete the old campaign, but archive it instead.
And if it turns out I'm wrong and the redirects work for you, you can just nuke the recently created campaign and get a free slot back.

No new info yet. I guess i'll wait for the next crawl this thursday. What you say makes a lot of sense though.
thanks Jesse!

You might want to email help@seomoz.org with your campaign old domain and new domain and they "might" be able to help.

I don't see why not. Roger should follow your redirects just like any bot would. I'm assuming your campaign is still reporting normal stats? OSE working with the old domain, advising that it's redirecting?
-
The site is completely redirected to the new domain. Does this mean I can keep my current campaign? would be nice.
-
As far as I know, you will have to delete the campaign and start over. But I must ask.. did your client not redirect the domain?

SERP Changes depending on ISP
If I search Google for my site using my mobile internet provider I get different results from my main internet. Before anyone suggests it, it's nothing to do with saved searches as I'm clearing cookies and I've tried on multiple different platforms. I can plug my iPad and use my wireless, it's my normal rankings, but as soon as I switch to my mobile provider for internet, I'm 3rd instead of 2nd on the SERPs. Any ideas?

Can anybody recommend me a softwear to create sitemap?
I am trying to increase my website traffic and I know that sitemaps are super important to google and not only. So far I spent some money on softwear from several companies and the results were terrible. Money spent on nothing. I really need sugestions from you because I'm feed up to spend money on nothing. NB: I am not a programer or website developer so my knowlegde is rather basic in this stuff but I like learning new things. THANKS A LOT!!!

If there a basic overview of the SEOMoz Pro tools?
I'm surprised there is no simple overview of all the features anywhere, or a guide on how to use the tools? There's a nice intro video, and a good beginners guide, then BAM! - straight into the Pro Tools (it's a bit daunting for someone learning!) Or at least that I can find... and help or pointers would be great 🙂

Is there anyway i can change a campaign setting from root domain to domain?
Is there anyway i can change a campaign setting once it has been established from root domain to domain? I could just start a new campaign but that seems a bit of a pain.

How fast can Domain Authority be established?
I am wondering how much time it takes to grow a new site's domain authority. More so, based on a consistent stream of links, syndication, and content, how fast can a website grow from 0-20, 21-40, 41-60, etc. in terms of domain authority?

Can seomozpro not just give me a full list of backlinks?
I got seomozpro so I could see a full list of backlinks for various websites. Not the top 25 most important etc, as I have different ideas on which are the most important. Is this possible?
