Does mozbot also check whether its a flash or frames website?
-
Dear Seomoz expert,
I have signed up for a free trial account for SEOmoz Pro. Im testing available SEO software to see which one is gonna make me work more efficient for my clients.
Right now im doing technical analysis by hand which costs alot of time but gives me the ability to deliver high quality advices.
One of the things i always thorougly check is the way a website is structured (code). I see a lot of relevant criteria for crawl analysis but dont see flash or frames.
This is kind of important because on a full flash website there is no content for the Google spider to crawl. Frames can also cause issues looking at internal linking structure and all.
How is this integrated in SEOmoz Pro?
Greets,

Hi Cyrus!
Thanks for the response! There are some tools that say if it's a flash or frames site.. But after going through all the crawl diagnostics in SEOmoz PRO i think the information it offers automatically shows that there are issues due to frames or flash.
I realise that it's not about whether a site has frames or flash but the issues that are caused by the use of these techniques. And i think that SEOmoz PRO failry covers these issues.
Also, it's not a bad thing using the crawler in your head to check upon things once in while
SEOmoz PRO is in my oppinion the only tool that has a structured and efficient way of presenting data. Im just gonna use it some more and see if it really spares me hours working on projects.
Thanks!

Hi Sander,
Really good question. And you are absolutely right about about flash and frames causing potential problems.
SEOmoz crawlers do not check for flash or frames, so there is no way of knowing if it encounters these in your crawl report. This would be a nice feature, but off the top of my head I don't know of any off-the-shelf commercial SEO tools that do this, although I'm sure a simple crawler would be easy for a motivated developer to build.
My ideal crawler would not only report these stats, but also the number of unique words in the text body.
We do have a PRO feature request you can take advantage of.
Hopefully you can still find value with the PRO platform. Regardless, I'll pass your comments along to the team. Thanks and best of luck!

Setting Up A Website For Redirects
I've got an old defunct domain with a lot of backlinks to individual pages. I'd like to use these backlinks for link juice by redirecting them to individual pages on the new domain (both sites belong to the same company). What is the best way to set this up? I presume I need some kind of hosting & site, even if it's just a default Wordpress install, which I can then use to set up the redirects? Would it be best done using .htaccess file for 301 redirects or some other way?

Websites that scroll....forever....
I'm seeing more and more websites that have all their content on one page. I came across www.otbthink.com today and am wondering if I'm missing something here. I ask this because I am trying to figure out how to link to their copy writing portion of their website. I have a client that is in their area and needs someone to do some copy writing work for them. All the content there is being served through css. The search engines will see it but how do you optimize for this sort of site? How do you link to a particular section of this site? Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks.

Risk of hosting website on internal application server
This isn't really related to SEO, but it came up with a client.... We have a client that is hosting their website internally. That's not a problem except that the server it is hosted on is the same server where they host many secure applications with sensitive customer information. We recommended to the marketing vp to move the website to a different server that doesn't host secure apps so we don't have be concerned about any conflicts. Their IT folks pushed back. So, I'm looking for some ammunition to support our recommendation. Any ideas? Thanks. Bernie Borges Find and Convert bernie@findandconvert.com

How to find a specific link on my website (currently causing redirects)
Hi everyone, I've used crawlers like Xenu to find broken links before, and I love these tools. What I can't figure out is how to find specific pieces of code within my site. For example, Webmaster Tools tells me there are still links to old pages somewhere on my website but I just can't find them. Do you know of a crawler that can search for a specific link within the html? Thanks in advance, Josh
