Can I use 2 Moz Campaigns to Track more than 3 Competitors?
Hey Cindy! This is Michael on the Moz Help Team! You can absolutely set up a second idential campaign with different competitors for prupose of tracking 6. This is actually the recommend workaround for our campaign limitation of tracking 3 competitors. Keep in mind that the 2 campaigns will most likely not update at the same exact time, but if you remember the day of the week that you setup the origianl campaign, you'll want setup the second campaign on the same day to keep their data gathering in sync. I hope this helps! If you need more details guidance on moving forward with this option in your account, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com. Our Q&A forum is a great place to get some quality answers to your queries, but help tickets can help ensure the privacy of your account details. Cheers!

Are 1x Event pages considered thin content? Should they be archived or redirected?
Keep them or remove them, don't redirect them unless they have external links, you want to keep things simple, if you do remove them. make sure you remove all links pointing to them from your own site, you don't want broken links.

Page for page 301 redirects from old server to new server
Thanks for all the responses. I did end up fixing it with a rewrite rule after setting up cheap hosting on GoDaddy and made sure the domain was redirecting with a 301. This is how it was working before. What had changed was the client's desire to have everything on Yahoo due to his email and Yahoo told him it would fix his flaky email issues. He has resigned himself to transitioning his email away from Yahoo and all is well again. Who knew that Yahoo only does 302 redirects! Seriously?!

Loss of traffic due to domain move, not recovering
This is all great information! Mozzers rule! So I am in the process of recommending 301 redirects from a stronger domain (old but still getting a lot of traffic) to a weaker one (new, refreshed design, same product). No one is maintaing the old site and we want to pass the link juice. I am concerned that what happened to Cindy will happen to us. I want that traffic and I want to make sure that the 301 redirect will work. And of course, don't block old domain with robot.txt One question though: What happens over time with the 301 redirect? I am assuming that the newer domain will eventually show in search results for the KWs that triggered the old domain to show. Is that a safe assumption?

How does the "first link" rule work with the "reasonable surfer patent" when it comes to the main navigation for a website?
If I understand you correctly, you are putting navigation links to 80k products? That sounds excessive. Look at how they do it at newegg.com and that is a good example of how to implement navigation for a large ecommerce site. Something to keep in mind here. Internal links mean almost nothing compared to external inbound links. You want to make sure your content is all crawlable and accessible. After that, don't worry about nofollow and silly things about internal links. NEVER nofollow an internal link. Think about what nofollow is, what it means, and why it exists. You are telling Google a page on your site is not trusted. Bad signal. Worry more about the inbound links to your site than the navigation links. Make sure you have a sitemap and ensure your content is all crawlable and accessible. If that's the case, don't worry yourself over nofollow or other minute navigation optimization.

404 vs. 200?
If the page has external links pointing to it, I use a 301 so as to not lose the link juice.
