First Campaign: No email when each step is completed?

[iainmoran]

I joined SEOMoz 6 days ago and set up my first campaign straight away.

On my Campaign Overview, it says: "Here's what you can expect over the coming days (we'll send you an email when each step is completed".

But I've not received an email saying that any of the steps are completed, so I haven't really used any of the tools yet as I wanted to wait until I had something to work with

Since it's almost been 7 days (will be 7 tomorrow), do I assume that most if not all of the stages have now been completed and I can get started?

Thanks,

Iain.

Generally Roger (SEOmoz's crawl bot) will do an initial crawl of a few hundred (I think it's 250 or so) and give you that report and then do a full crawl a week from your campaign setup date. Weekly rankings come out on Tuesday but only after a full crawl has been completed of your site.  You probably won't get them til next week (rankings)  but you should see your crawl report by end of tomorrow.

Thank you, that is very reassuring, phew!

When you say 250 or so, is that pages? My site only has about 35 pages. I'm happy to wait as long as it takes, just didn't want to miss something.

Yes 250 pages.  If you don't get something by Thursday morning email support.  Either way it does a full crawl on your weekly "start date".  To be safe check your profile to make sure everything is correct.  If you got a welcome email then it is working.   But, like I said, call or email Thursday if you don't hear/see anything.

BTW. Welcome to the family.
