      I get the error not a valid url when I'm trying to set up a campaign.  I know it's a valid url.  I have tried with www, non-www, http://, https://  when I do the https it lets me start, but then I get an error that https is forwarding to http and I need to use that.  When I then put in the http, I get the original error.

      thanks in advance for your help.

        Hey There,

        There are a number of reasons why you may encounter this issue when creating a campaign, such as a slow server response or our crawler being blocked at the server level. I'm afraid we would really need the URL you are trying to input to investigate what the specific issue might be.

        If you prefer not to include the URL in this public forum, you can email it to help@moz.com so we can take a look for you.

        I look forward to hearing from you there soon.

        • I am new to MOZ, I set up one tracking campaign two weeks ago, I have tracked no keywords, I have done some keyword research for ranking difficulty and in two weeks I have already hit 50K pages crawled, I'm maxed out, is this common?
