Campaign set up as sub domain
-
When I set the campaigns up I used the sub domains now I question should I have used the root domain. Which is best sub or root.
-
I want the same as everyone else the best position in Google.
My campaign is set up as sub-domain.
I am trying to get an understanding of what make the improvements to the following.
What are the most important metrics and if I can work to improve them what makes those improvements. Currently I have a good position in Google for my most productive phrase but feel I need to make improvements to ensure I keep that position. I am adding regular unique content and looking for relavant quality links but it does not seem to be making much difference to the metrics below.
| Domain Authority | 16 |
| Domain MozRank | 2.83 |
| Domain MozTrust | 0.86 |
| External Followed Links | 16 |
| Total External Links | 55 |
| Total Links | 668 |
| Followed Linking Root Domains | 8 |
| Total Linking Root Domains | 9 |
| Linking C-Blocks | 3 || Subdomain MozRank | 2.95 |
| Subdomain MozTrust | 1.73 |

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish and how you want to attack it.
If you setup your campaign to track the subdomain of www.domain.com, you will get a report for just that subdomain.
If you setup your campaign to track the rood of domain.com, you will get a report for www.domain.com, domain.com, subdomain1.domain.com, subdomain2.domain.com - this can generate a HUGE report of issues, errors, and findings depending on how many subdomains you have.
I have my campaigns setup as subdomains, one to our main site, and two to our "micro-sites" that are on our root domain.
Does this help clear up the difference in how SEOmoz reports its findings?

How to format URL if main key word is my domain name?
Hello All! I have a question about having my search term in my URL when the first two words are actually my domain name. For example, my domain is plutobeach.com and I want to optimize for events. Which is better? plutobeach.com/events plutobeach.com/plutobeach-events Is the latter keyword stuffing? I'm using the on-page grader here and wondering how much of a difference that can make. Thanks! Steve

Is a mobile domain necessary?
Greetings all, I'm starting to build a mobile version of our website to be ready for April 21st. Question is: is it absolutely necessary to have a mobile domain name or can I just direct users to same domain/folder? in other words: www.mywebsite.com/mobile vs m.mywebsite.com - does this even matter? As always, thank you!

Multiple domains for the same business
My client purchased over 500 URLs for targeting various customers and ranking for different keywords. It is for the same business though. What is the best strategy to deal with this kind of approach in your opinion. They use different meta data for each of the URLs starting with brand name in meta title. Are there any other points to keep in mind when developing strategy for all those URLs. Is this a good approach?

Sub-pages have no pa
I took over a website a few months ago which is not performing well at all for chosen keywords. When I first inspected it, I found a rel canonical tag pointing to the homepage on every page. This was quickly deleted and all the pages were fetched in webmaster tools. 3 months later and the website is still performing badly. When I use the mozbar, it shows that all of the sub-pages have a pa of 1. It is only a small site and all of the pages are linked to on the navbar in a simple way. The links are not made using javascript and all the pages are on the sitemap which is submitted to wmt. I have checked that all of the changes that have been made have been indexed as well. Could it be possible that google still sees the canonical tag even though its not there? I can't think of any other reason why the pages have no pa or why it is so far behind the competitors despite having better content and links. Also, the site is appropriate for adults, but I found (among the mess left for me) a meta ratings tag set to "general". This has now been deleted, could it negatively affect rankings?

Why isn't our site being shown on the first page of Google for a query using the exact domain, when its pages are indeed indexed by Google
When I type our domain.com as a query into Google, I only see one of our pages on the homepage, and it's in 4th position. It seems though, that all pages of the site are indexed by google when I type in the query "site:domain.com". There was an issue at the site launch, where the robots.txt file was left active for around two weeks. Would this have been responsible for the fact that another domain ranks #1 when we type in our own domain? It has been around a couple of months now since the site was launched. Thanks in advance.

Redirecting to an exact match root domain: good, bad, or neutral?
We have a client who wants to secure an exact match domain for their new website, but it's very long. They're wondering about securing an additional domain that is much shorter for marketing purposes (business cards, email addresses, etc). We would then 301 redirect the short domain to the main domain. Are we going to see negative SEO implications from that?
