      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.

        Is this for pay-per-click?

          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?

            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 MozRank | 2.83 |

            | Subdomain MozRank | 2.95 |
            | Subdomain MozTrust | 1.73 |
            | External Followed Links | 15 |

            • What does this mean on first step up setting up a campaign? "Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here."
