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?

Website blocked by Robots.txt in OSE
When viewing my client's website in OSE under the Top Pages tab, it shows that ALL pages are blocked by Robots.txt. This is extremely concerning because Google Webmaster Tools is showing me that all pages are indexed and OK. No crawl errors, no messages, no nothing. I did a "site:website.com" in Google and all of the pages of the website returned. Any thoughts? Where is OSE picking up this signal? I cannot find a blocked robots tag in the code or anything.

Does it make sense to have multiple campaigns for one website?
I'm new to SEO and SEOMoz. While setting up my campaigns, I was a bit confused. Do I need to setup separate campaigns for different pages of my site? For example, I run a proofreading service: www.kibin.com I obviously want to track keyword on the main page (like proofreading service), however, I also want to track keywords (like 'essay editing') on www.kibin.com/essay-editing Should these be two separate campaigns or do I just put all the keywords into one campaign for kibin.com? Thanks!

Why are we not ranking? We have done all we can think of. Can you help?
We have an old domain that we have had for years now. And recently. December, we completely redesigned the site, I mean a complete overhaul, design, architecture, asp to php for example. Resubmitted to google via webmaster with a new site map etc. Our website for reference is www.completeoffice.co.uk. We are trying to rank in UK google, www.google.co.uk, for the term office refurbishment kent (we are on page 2) and office refurbishment (we are on page 17). This is confusing me, because thats 7 pages lower than we were originally, before the site design, its better seo wise, duplicate content is none, title tage meta tags all correct, domain authority has doubled from 12 to 24 in a few months all in an effort to rank better. our homepage and office refurb pages both got an A on the on page SEOmoz tool test. So we dont understand why we are not ranking highly. It seems sites, much uglier and less seo friendly than our with same or lower domain authority are ranking at least 10 pages higher than us. Why is this? Can anyone help or give us a few suggestions. All help greatly appreciated. SEOmozzers.
