      The ranking report is not picking up my site even though it's there. It would seem that the www. Is missing from the site on google so it's not registering in the report. How do i fix this?

        You shouldn't really have both your www.yoursite.com and yoursite.com domains accessible in the public domain, especially for SEO practices. Search engines may view it as duplicate content.

        You should use your .htaccess file to redirect all your www to non www or vica versa (assuming your server is Apache enables)

        #Redirect no-www to wwwRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.yoursite.com$ [NC]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.-yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

        I might add .... I aint no SEO experts, but I am pretty sure that you should follow the advice above

          It also depends how you set up your campaign in the setup process.

          For example, if you set up a "subdomain" crawl for example.com, it will only track keywords for example.com and not www.example.com (because the www is a different subdomain)

          To track keywords for www.example.com, you can do one of two things:

          1. Set up a subdomain crawl specifically for www.example.com
          2. Or set up a root domain crawl for example.com

          The second solution will record ALL rankings for anything found with *example.com in the url, which picks up both the www and non-www version.

          Here's a post from Rand that explains this in a bit more detail: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/subfolders-root-domains-linkscape-update-more

          Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

              Unfortunately, to maintain the integrity of the historical data, it requires you to start a new campaign. You can run multiple campaigns simultaneously, or delete or pause any non-essential campaigns.

              • On our site by mistake some wrong links were entered and google crawled them. We have fixed those links. But they still show up in Not Found Errors. Should we just mark them as fixed? Or what is the best way to deal with them?
