Ranktracker entire subdomain option
-
About http://ranktracker.seomoz.org ...
if I search on Google for "my phrase" I can see **www.**mysite.com on first place
Doesn't this mean that I should see a similar position on ranktracker if I type "http://mysite.com" (without www) and I select the "Entire Subdomain" radio button ? Because this shows that I am NOT in top 50.
It does show up if I type my site with www and I select eider "entire subdomain" or "exact url" radio button.
Thank you.

Hi Adrian,
Sort of.
Here's an example of how this works. You want to conduct a search for the keyword - SEO - for the sub-domain www.seomoz.org.
-
If you choose the "Exact URL" radial, we'll only look for that keyword ranking on that particular page (i.e. SEO on www.seomoz.org).
-
If you choose the "Entire Subdomain" radial, we'll look for that keyword ranking on any page within that sub domain.
Unfortunately, neither of these apply if you're trying to gather rankings data for your root domain because we currently don't look for ranking data for root domains in Rank Tracker
Unlike our campaigns, Rank Tracker doesn't include any subdomains if you type in a root domain and choose the 'Entire Subdomain" radial.
Best,
Sam

@SamWeber So the "Entire Subdomain" option actually means "All pages of this domain" and not "All sub-domains of this domain" ?

Hi Adrian!
Thanks for the question and sorry for the confusion here. The reason why you're seeing this is because we don't actually track rankings for root domains in Rank Tracker. My recommendation would be to submit this as a feature request for our Product team to review. They look at this daily and use it to plan out our roadmap so hopefully they'll be able to add it in sooner rather than later
In the meantime, I'll reach out internally to see if we can update the messaging on our Rank Tracker page to make this a little clearer. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other question!
Best,
Sam

Does a subdomain hurt/help a domain?
My organization's website currently hosts research databases on a subdomain. We're relatively new to MOZ and when I ran a crawl of my site, it came back with 30K issues.... 98% of which are on this subdomain. I wish I could just remove it and call it a day, however, real and active researchers use it regularly. My question is: Does a subdomain hurt/help a domain? I'm seeing mixed results via Google search and browsing this forum. I'm concerned that I will not be able to fix these 30K issues as I do have access to maintain this database... and just by looking at it you can tell it was built in 2005 and hasn't been updated from an SEO perspective since. Any suggestions?

Question
I have set up my htaccess file to rewrite "Various URL Structure" to www.mydomain.co.uk. However when i view metrics in Majestic SEO, the url / Subdomain / Root Domain all differ. Why is this happening?
Is this harming my site?
What is common practice when defining URL Structure? Any other quality advise and implementation structure would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0 -

Campaign set-up: root domain vs. subdomain
Hi, I have a question about the proper way to set up a new SEOmoz campaign for a simple 5-page website (home, about, services, blog, contact). If I'm tracking only www.domain.com, does it make a difference if I set it up to track just that subdomain or should I track it at the root domain? Is it better to use the root domain? Are there pros or cons to using one over the other? If the website is expanded in the future, any future pages will most likely be on the same subdomain (e.g., www.domain.com/page). Thanks in advance! Carolina

Question about SEOMoz Pro and Root Domain vs. Subdomain tracking
I currently have two Pro campaigns set up. They are both tracking the root domains of two different e-commerce sites. I also am tracking three competitors for each company, in each campaign. I have those set up by subdomains, like so www.Competitor.com. So in my Historical link analysis I am getting MyRootDomain.com, compared to www.competitor1.com, www.competitor2.com and www.competitor3.com Is this a problem? Would it be better for me to switch my company campaigns to track subdomains too, or to switch my competitor tracking to root domains. This is probably pretty rudimentary, but it never even occurred to me until just now. I realize that if I switch to subdomains for my own company tracking this would necessitate setting up a completely new campaign. This would be a problem because I am maxed out on my 1,000 keywords. Last but not least, does the fact that I have been tracking my own site root domains compared to competitors subdomains mean all of my competitive domain and link analysis is, well, garbage?...because I haven't really been comparing the same things?

Settings to crawl entire site
Not sure what happened but I started a third campaign yesterday and only 1 pages was crawled, The other two campaigns has 472 and 10K respectively. What is the proper setting to choose in the beginning of campaign setup to have the entire site crawled. Not sure what I did different and I must be reading the instructions incorrectly. Thanks, Don

Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool?
Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool? For instance: - I have a client who uses a subdomain model to render your homepage and he has a competitor hosted in a subfolder. It appears to be impossible to do that kind of comparision at the SEOmoz campaign tool. Do you have some other way to do that?
