Hi Chiaryn:
I thought this would be a really helpful platform however it is more frustrating than not. I am not able to add competitors in my campaign. I am able to change the 3 that appear in the campaign but NOT able to add a competitor.

Hi Angelos,
Thanks for writing in. Unfortunately, at this time, we are only able to track competitors at the subdomain level within the campaigns and we can't limit it to just the specific subfolder or page. I'm really sorry about that!
If your competitor only has one page that is relevant to your business, you may still be able to get valuable information by adding the subdomain, since we will only report on the URL from their site that is ranking for your specific keywords.
I would recommend adding a request for the ability to limit which pages of the competitor subdomain we track to our feature request forum. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
You can add your request there and vote for other features you'd like to see, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The problem is not that the link is new ( which is not ) it tells me that i cannot add links with /path.
The only problem is that the link i have as a competitor is www.competitorslink.com/magazine
nothing else.

What's the exact problem you're facing? Sometimes competing pages may cause problems if that page is relatively new. Plug the URL into http://www.opensiteexplorer.org and see if that page's stats have been indexed by SEOmoz yet. If you get some stats and still can't add your competing page, then I suggest you open a help ticket with the moz team

Ahrefs Much Higher Than Competitors But Competitors Doing Significantly More Traffic?
Hey guys, I'm baffled by checking my Ahrefs ratings lately. It looks like our rating just went up considerably... from over 1 million to now around 500k. One of my main competitors, however, has a much lower Ahrefs rank (over 3 million) but he does a considerable more amount of traffic than we do... how is this? My domain rating is higher than his by a lot. Very curious how this works.

Competitor using our product descriptions
Hi, We have a competitor (with a higher DA) using some content from our product pages word for word on a few of their product pages. It's only a couple paragraphs per product page (including the main product description), not the entirety of the content on the page. It also appears they have scraped some content from another authoritative competitor (and even left their brand name mentioned on it!) I've read mixed thoughts on whether plagiarized content will harm the original site, but am concerned since it is an authoritative site. Should I be concerned since it's only parts of our product page? Thank you all!

My competitor's sneaky link building technique
Hi, I can't figure out how my competitor seems to fit four invisible nav menus into her home page. If you view her page source and type "/about" for example, it shows five examples of the text linking to her "about" page. But four of them can't be located on the web page (they are hidden). How does she do this? She basically has four duplicate links that are counted for SEO but can't be seen on the webpage. address: http:// camilla peffer.com. au/ Any ideas?

Traffic Data for Competitor Subdomain
Does anyone know of a way to get monthly visitor data for a subdomain that I do not manage? I would normally use SEMRush or Compete, but they only provide domain level data.

Why is my competitor's site ranking #1?
I'm about to work for a local business website that offers cleaning services and products. The keyword they want the most is ruled by a very odd site; My client's competitor's site has been around for 7 years. (Less than the average of it's competitors. Less than my client's) Has 1 backlink. Lower PA MR MT & DA than any other in the SERP. It's a 1 page site made with Flash. They do not have FB or Twitter accounts. So I thought maybe they were ranking so well because of their traffic. But neither my client, me or my coworkers have ever heard of this company. And yet, they are ranking #1. And the only thing I notice that might have helped is that the title of their page is the exact keyword and nothing more. Any ideas?
