Sorry Alan,
Obviously misread what you were asking.
The answer is No. You cannot change the domain name. The following is from the FAQ on campaign setup:
Q. Can I change the domain later?
A. You cannot change the domain of a campaign once it is created. If you need to track content, rankings, etc. on a new subdomain or domain, you must create a new campaign. Don’t panic – archiving and adding campaigns is easy.It is also not possible to duplicate the campaign and change details, so you will need to archive the old campaign and create a new one, but that is not so difficult to do.
The most arduous part of re-creating a campaign is adding the keywords, but this is also quite simple. All you need to do is export your keyword list to csv from the old campaign, open it in Excel, select the keywords in the first column and copy to your clipboard.
When you create the new campaign, just add one "placeholder" keyword in the screen that asks for keywords, then continue setup. When the campaign has been created, click "Manage Keywords" link at the top of the Overview page and paste the keywords from your csv file into the input field. Click Add Keywords and you're done.
If you choose a "placeholder" keyword that was not in the original list then you're fine. If you used one that was already in the list, you will just need to delete the duplicate so it does'nt mess up your reports.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Thanks but I want to change the domain name, not simply the name.
i could not see how you can change the domain name.

Hi Alan,
You can change the campaign name by clicking Settings in the campaign.
Just change the information in the Campaign name field and save.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Domain still not being found in search
Hi guys, I've been handed a client who needs some seo work. I've tweaked one of their pages to focus on a chosen keywords about 4 months back but still the site is not even visible using the new Domain Analysis tool from moz and it still won't rank at all for the keywords. Am I missing something here? Is there something blocking the SERP from listing the website? I've ran a site: search on Google and it returns 283 results on the website. It's puzzling me as there clearly is something stopping it from being ranked. The domain name in question is: https://cloud9inecommunications.co.uk Thanks in advance.

Domain Authority Dropped from 13 to 1
Hi there, I know Domain Authority is not a KPI, it's a relative metric but we saw a huge dropped down in our domain authority this week and I got worried. I am trying to understand why this happened? Any idea? Our website link is here https://www.wealthmanagementcanada.com Is it something related to Moz update or with our website? Regards,

Campaign link not working?
I imagine most of the initial problems with the domain migration to moz.com will be cleaned up rather quickly. I did however notice right away my links to my campaigns from the dashboard were not working. I then click the campaigns tab up top and my campaign links worked from there. Just thought I'd share real quick incase anyone else is having the same issue.

Greater Number of Linking Domains in Anchor Text Excel Export?
I exported the anchor text for a domain from Opensite Explorer and when I sum the "Number of Linking Root Domains Containing Anchor Text" it is higher than the total amount of linking root domains for the site. Is this because some domains use multiple anchor text links, so it is counted more than once in the exported spreadsheet?

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?

Trifecta Report (domain)
Recently i have found that the data in the trifecta report is becoming less complete. For the last few sites i found that the report returned about half of the metrics it was looking for. For instance, it mentioned that one of the domains did not have a dmoz or wikipedia link/page even though they had both? Also, it rarely returns the Yahoo Site Explorer metrics even though when clicking to see the source the data is there? Are you guys planning on phasing out this tool, if not it seems like some work needs to be done on cleaning it up. Thanks!
