I think you are limited to a root domain or subdomain and not specific directories. You can only have www.competitor.com or subdomain.competitor.com.

looks like I'm limited to www.competitor.com - http://competitor.com doesn't work. Though it's quite an important difference regarding duplicate content.

I can't believe you can't track and compare your rankings with a page of a website and not the domain. If you are competing against a lot of high authority sites like a wiki or cnet.com, amazon etc you need to know what you need to do to beat that page not the domain.

Going to have to track rankings with a different piece of software.

Hey everyone!

You can track either a root domain or subdomain in our rankings tab. You are going to want to track the domain that is ranking in Google. For instance don't track amazon.com because www.amazon.com is how they appear in SERPS. You can't track directories in rankings for competitors because it is a very narrow view of rankings. We include all directories for the domain you are tracking so it will be automatically pulled in and you will get the directory rankings regardless. Sorry about the confusion. Check out some of our documentation on rankings to get an even deeper look at what we offer: http://www.seomoz.org/help/rankings

Hope this helps!
