Domain Crawl Question
-
We have our domain hosted by two providers - web.com for the root and godaddy for the subdomain. Why SEOMOZ is not picking up the total pages of the entire domain?

This was their answer.
Hello There!
Thanks for writing in and sorry you're getting this problem.
Unfortunately, this might all be due to the fact that your campaign is based on the subdomain http://www.example.com versus the root domain http://example.com. Since the root domain is what is ranking in the engines and is where all of the pages are hosted, including your blog, you're not getting results on those pages or rankings. Instead, you're getting information based on only the pages and rankings that are connected to http://www.example.com.
Unfortunately, the only way to solve this is to start up a new campaign based on the root domain http://example.com. After you set everything up in that campaign, you should begin to get crawl data within three to seven days, and everything should be peachy-keen! You'll have a plethora of juicy data that you weren't getting before on the http://www.example.com subdomain.
I hope that helps!

Hi Timothy,
This is either in the configuration on your end or an issue with the way Roger crawls, and it'd be best handled by the help desk. Could you send them an email at [email protected] with your info and they'll help get you sorted out? Thanks so much!

Domain Masking SEO Impact
I hope I am explaining this correctly. If I need to provide any clarity please feel free to ask. We currently use a domain mask on an external platform that points back to our site. We are a non-profit and the external site allows users to create peer-to peer fundraisers that benefit our ministry. Currently we get many meta issues related to this site as well as broken links when fundraisers expire etc. We do not have a need to rank for the information from this site. Is there a way to index these pages so that they are not a part of the search engine site crawls as it relates to our site?

Redirect non www. domain to WWW. domain for established website?
Hey guys, The website in question has been online for more than 5 years but there are still 2 versions of the website. Both versions are indexed by Google and of course, this will result in duplicate content. Is it necessary to redirect the non-www domain to the www. domain. What are the cons and advantages? Will the www. links replace the non-www links when it comes to keyword rankings? Thanks.

More than one web domain
Hi What is best when considering using more than one domain on a website, what the best policy ? it's a question I get asked a lot, usually because prior to any seo efforts the main domain name purchased is not keyword rich or an abbreviated company name etc. what impact do new domains have on SEO compared to older existing domains- is it worth changing a generic company named domain for a keyword rich domain? if having multiple domains pointing to the site is beneficial how best is it to configure? How do i inform Google? How do both domains get index when there is only one physical site? How should i monitor it, Analytic s, SEO moz? Will the domain compete against each other and effect SEO rank? Are they best used for marketing purposes on external sites, adverts driving traffic to the main site. I'm aware there are lots of questions above, any answers/ opinions , links to further info would be greatly appreciated. cheers
