Campaign warnings and recommendations
-
How crucial is it to follow / fix the campaign warnings. For example, even though our website is ranking well the campaign report is stating that we've too many links on the majority of pages and the title element is too long.
My question is if I make changes based on these recommendations, do you think that we will see a dramatic improvement in our rankings ?

All I can do is echo Ryan's point on this one, he does a great job of summing it up.

Global newspapers usually have very high DA and extremely high PA for their main page and category pages. Sites with higher DA/PA are crawled more frequently and deeper then other sites.
Time magazine has over 250 links on it's home page. If I was asked to do SEO work for Time, I would use the SEOmoz campaign tool, the warning for too many links would appear and I would disregard the warning. I realize Time.com's 97 PA and 98 DA fully supports the crawling of those links. Even so, I would still review the links to ensure there are not any opportunities for improvement, but overall the site is fine in this regard.
In short, if you are happy with your site's performance in SERPs go ahead and disregard the warning. If you are looking for opportunities to improve, you can investigate the matter further.

I note your point, but global newspaper sites as a example have hundreds of links per page - so I shall assume that as our site is already very well ranked it should not cause a future problem ?

I have found that fixing problems pointed out by google leads to good things. I also learned the hard way that ignoring them for too long will eventually result in punishment. I would make any suggested changes, or at least try it for a while and see what happens.

All aspects of SERPs is comparative in nature. You can rank #1 with a crappy site, as long as everyone else who is competing for the same keyword has worse pages then you.
Sometimes you can make a big positive change to your site and not change rankings at all. Other times you can make a minor tweak and jump up a few notches. There is no way to offer any quality generic advice here.
What I would suggest is to make a list of all SEO improvements which can be made to your site, then prioritize that list. Items on your most popular pages should take priority over less popular pages. Items involving major factors such as your page's title should be prioritized over items which are relatively less important such as too many links on a page.
You asked "how crucial is it to [make changes]". Only you can answer that question. How crucial is it for you to try and improve your rankings for the given page?

Writing engaging title tags that do not exceed the max length could lead to an increased click through rate. This may not have a massive impact on your rankings but it could potentially drive more traffic to your site.
Having too many links will reduce the amount of internal 'link juice' that each link will pass. if you reduce the number of links by a couple you will not see much impact but a larger cull could potentially boost the rankings of the pages you choose to focus on.

With all the warning I think you need to evaluate the amount of work vs the potential impact and prioritise accordingly.

What Should I Do About Duplicate Title Warning From Category Pages Of Store?
I know a lot of the MOZ warnings can be ignored, however, I'm trying to figure out of this one should be added to that list: my store has urls setup like this for categories: https://www.mysite.com/sweaters https://www.mysite.com/sweaters/page/2 The meta title is "Sweaters" for both pages. Is that bad practice? I don't think I can automatically change the meta title to to Sweaters Page 2 or even want to. or should I do that? Or just ignore these type of warnings?

Moz shows duplicate content, but URL's are tagged with campaign tags
Crawl diagnostics shows a lot of pages with duplicate content, but when I check the details, I see that it lists the same page but the url contains a campaign tag, so it's not really another page that is serving identical content... Is there a way to remove these pages out of the Crawl Diagnostics?

Reliable Tracking of Campaign with Subdomain and Subfolder
Hi, i was wondering if i can rely on the tracking for a campaign like subdomain.example.com/subfolder/ The idea is to measure all the data regarding e.g. one specific language within a subdomain and use the tools based on this data. Thank you in advance.

Why do you call it a Campaign?
I'm trying out PRO and have a simple question. Why do you call the main organizational unit in this tool a "Campaign"? "Campaign" makes me think of advertising or direct mail - run over a specific period of time to a specific audience. But, "Campaign" in SEOmoz PRO seems to mean a collection of keywords plus a domain. Is the idea that I'm investing time an money in this collection of keywords in some sort of a structured campaign (using SEO techniques) and then using PRO to track performance against a baseline? By the way, the tool seems great and I love the useful data it provides. I guess I'm really trying to understand the SEO mindset the underpins the design of PRO. Thanks for any help!

Can I add more than one domain in a campaign?
There 5, 12 and 30 campaigns limit in Pro, Pro plus and Elite plan. Does that It mean that I the number of domain we can monitor per plan is equal to the number of allowed campaigns? Lets say I have 50 domains and I want to track them all. Can I manage them like the way Google Analytics do. Thanks
