Subdomain not showing up in ranking reports?

[patrickqureshi]

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the newbie question here, but hope any of the experts here can help.

Our blog resides on a subdomain, and our blog increasingly plays an important role in driving traffic to our site. However the subdomain does not seem to show up in our keyword rankings report on Moz pro.

Does this report only include URLs on the main site?

Is there a way to monitor how our blog ranks on our keywords somewhere else?

Thanks in advance all!

Regards

Patrick

When you talk about sub-domain, it clearly means that it's a separate entity and not at all a part of your website. So, logically it should not be appearing in keyword rankings report of your main site.

You'll have to create separate report for your sub-domain.

Under campaign settings you can choose to track all sites at your domain; a subdomain; or a subfolder. (It's under Site Basics on the Campaign Settings page.) Check to be sure that you have "Include all sites at the domain" selected.

Hi Linda, once a campaign is setup the settings for the URL cannot be modified. You will only be able to set how to track a domain during the setup process. A new campaign would have to be created if there is a change to the domain.

If you enter a root domain, our tool will track data for any pages at the root domain level including all sub-domains.

If you enter a root domain, sub-domain, or sub-folder and check the advanced box to "exclude all sub-domains" this means we will only track pages within the URL as entered. This means if you entered a root-domain and you are now ranking for the www-version of the site, all of your rankings will not be found in the top 50 search results because we are only looking to track the root-domain version.

For Patrick the campaign is setup as a catch-all which is good so there will not be any issues pulling data. There is common confusion on how we collect rankings data. When a campaign is setup and keywords are entered. Our tool will search those keywords on Google/Bing/Yahoo, etc and will look for results that match the configured domain.

Hope this helps!

If your keyword is ranking for a page on your sub-domain or root domain in the top 50 results, then that exact URL will be listed next to the keyword.
