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

Multiple Sites/Internal Pages Campaign
Can MOZ do reports/ranks/campaigns separately for each of our sites, then do separate keyword campaigns for specific internal content pages of each of the websites? For a law firm with both a defense and family law sites. We have multiple pages within each site, we will need to do separate and individual campaigns for assault, burglary, traffic tickets, ect. in our defense site. And we'll need other specific campaigns for other specific content in out family law site. Will Moz be able to accommodate our needs with their $99/mo plan or is that service only available for higher packages? (or is it even possible in ANY of their packages???) Thanks.

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

Creating a campaign for a folder is not possible
Hi There! I just signed up for a free pro account to see whether it is something for us as a company 🙂 I tried to set up two campaigns. With the first for our root domain (koopgoedkoop.nl) it all went perfect. I am now trying to set up a campaign for our BBQ page (http://www.koopgoedkoop.nl/tuin/barbecues.html) but I can't? Is it because our URL ends with .html? Here's a screenshot: http://bit.ly/x2zdCd Thanks for your help in advance! Regards, Do

How come the external on-page report tool is better than the campaign one?
There is more covered (in terms of checking on-page factors) when using the external report tool than when using the actual campaign one... will the external features be added into the campaign one?
