      Basically I would like the Moz crawler to focus on a specific section of our domain. We do not bucket things via folder groups, so the use of wildcards would be applicable to us.

      Our URL structure:

      • www.domain.com/some-stuff-here/p12345

      Is the example below a valid input to track the above URL structure?

      • www.domain.com//p

      Thanks.

        Unfortunately, as this point, I think Moz isn't capable of doing that, although it would be a nice feature, however, Moz would still need to crawl the entire site to find the URLs that matching the URLs that match your wildcard settings, ending up in the entire site being crawled.

        I am guessing you use some kind of CMS for those pages, maybe wordpress, then you can change the URL structure to be something like domain.com/blog/* and then create a campaign for domain.com/blog.

        Anyways, you can contact moz at help@moz.com asking if they are planning to add such a feature.

        (I run a test prior to this response to see if that worked, it didn't.)

          That's too bad... unfortunately our business is too large to simply restructure the URLs, and such a project would take quite a long time to complete. Anyways, having the ability to segment site sections with wildcards would have enabled us to hone our campaign setups.

          Not a huge ordeal. Now I need to reconsider how we setup our campaigns moving forward.

          Thank you Federico.

            I don't believe it's on the current roadmap, but you can check and add this and/or any feature request here: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-Moz-Feature-Requests

            • My question is, when you translate your website to another language, does moz crawl both or do i have to add another campaign to moz so that they can crawl it seperately?
