Pro newbie - What is a "campaign"?
-
I signed up three weeks ago and the first email to me begins with:
The first step in PRO is to set up your campaign. Once we start tracking your site and social media accounts, you'll start receiving handy reports of your data. You can also surface site issues right in the app to help you prioritize which fixes you can make for immediate results.
At this point I don't know what kind of "campaign" this is or what the "app" is.
I have also lodged a ticket because something seems to be broken about my Pro status. I can obviously participate here, so I have a Pro status, but at OSE, it says "Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers. Learn more" and hit my Advanced Report limit for the day without seeing any such report.
-
The question was more by way of feedback that the welcome email could expand those concepts with a sentence or two as per the above replies. I signed up but then travelled before using the tools three weeks later and was reacting to an article by Chris Warren at Distilled, which sent me to OSE. And that site didn't think I was Pro. I then wondered if I needed to download some app for a phone. Sorry but it was 7 am on a Saturday morning.
Incidentally, having started a campaign, my ""Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers" error message went away, so perhaps OSE gets a prod after a campaign is started?

Hi Ash, and welcome to Moz! I've flagged this question for the help team to come in and answer, and you should be hearing from them soon about OSE.
Here's an introduction to get you started: http://moz.com/help/pro/introduction.
A campaign is generally the website you're working on, and the app is Moz. This just means to put in the website you're working on and we'll start letting you know about any problems we find.

Hey Ash, Welcome to Moz.
Firstly "a campaign" is what you setup to monitor your website's SEO performance. Think of a campaign as like "a project".
"The app" is simply the application/interface where you see all the data pertaining to "the campaign".
If you've not yet setup your first campaign, please go to http://pro.moz.com/campaigns/new and follow the steps.
Once you have a campaign setup go to http://moz.com/pro/home to access it within the app.
Hope that helps,
Woody

What's the best way to eliminate "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors?
My company website is built on WordPress. It receives very few crawl errors, but it do regularly receive a few (typically 1-2 per crawl) "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors through Moz. Based on my research, my understand is that my server is essentially telling Moz to cool it with the requests. That means it could be doing the same for search engines' bots and even visitors, right? This creates two questions for me, which I would greatly appreciate your help with: Are "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors harmful for my SEO? I imagine the answer is "yes" because Moz flags them as high priority issues in my crawl report. What can I do to eliminate "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors? Any insight you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Report notification emails (SEOmoz PRO Application ) --- Is it possible to customise the sender email address and/or email signature
The ranking reports are great but is there any way of changing the sender email address to be our own, and have our signature appearing at the bottom of the email notifications? We'd really like to send them direct to our customers and save some time double handling.

Can I do a campaign for just a page?
We've been doing a lot of building and work on just one category page, but when i try to put it in the campaign it won't let me do any url that has a sub folder like www.mainsite.com/keyword-page. I can only do www.mainsite.com, and when i select the other campaign options like root domain or sub folder, roger pops up with an error. Is anyone else having this problem?

Pro Dashboard Rankings Report not accurate for the UK?
We rank in the top 5 consistently for our keywords on www.google.co.uk However, the ranking report (set to Google UK) shows that we don't appear in the top 50. When looking in more detail at the keyword in question, it shows the top ranking sites to be all US sites with .com domains that don't rank at all on google.co.uk. Can anyone shed some light on this or tell me if there is any way of getting accurate ranking reports via SEOmoz tools for UK sites, so I don't have to do it manually? Thanks in advance
