SEOmoz Dashboard Report: Crawl Diagnostic Summary
-
Hi there,
I'm noticing that the total errors for our website has been going up and down drastically almost every other week. 4 weeks ago there were over 10,000 errors. 2 weeks ago there were barely 1,000 errors. Today I'm noticing it's back to over 12,000 errors. It says the majority of the errors are from duplicate page content & page title. We haven't made any changes to the titles or the content.
Some insight and explanation for this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gemma

If it's isolated to just SEOmoz, I would recommend using the SEOmoz help system (link in upper right) and submitting a ticket. Provide some detail so they know what to look into. Because it doesn't come across as being anything other than a bug or who knows what. It shouldn't fluctuate, as far as I can figure.

Thanks for your reply Alan.
I've cross-checked with GWT and it looks like it might be a false alarm. The errors look steady on GWT.
So what could be the reason(s) that SEOmoz's error stats seem so volatile? What could be causing the issue?
I'd love your insight on it.
Thanks,
Gemma

Gemma,
There could be serveral issues causing this. It's why I always cross-reference error counts with what Google Webmaster Tools reports. If both GWT and the Moz reports line up within a ballpark range, I'd definitely suggest looking into it, and if they don't and GWT reports a much lower volume consistently over time, you will have saved a lot of time, grief and energy. So start with that.

Ajax4SEO and rogerbot crawling
Has anyone had any experience with seo4ajax.com and moz? The idea is that it points a bot to a html version of an ajax page (sounds good) without the need for ugly urls. However, I don't know how this will work with rogerbot and whether moz can crawl this. There's a section to add in specific user agents and I've added "rogerbot". Does anyone know if this will work or not? Otherwise, it's going to create some complications. I can't currently check as the site is in development and the dev version is noindexed currently. Thanks!

404 errors in SEOMoz crawl tool
I currently have several 404 errors in the latest crawls from SEOMoz. Here is an example of the error. http://dealerplatform.com/blog/2011/10/23/videos-for-auto-dealers/www.dealerplatform.com/ In all cases the error is a result of www.dealerplatform.com being added to the real url. Anyone seen this before? The site is a wordpress mutlisite. I don't see where this incorrect link is showing up anywhere on the website. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Colors in keyword Difficulty Report
Hi Everyone Two quick questions today 1. How can I find out hat the different colors within the keyword Difficulty Report represent and how can I see examples of how this information can help us with our data analysis? 2. The second question I have is regarding the Term Extractor. Seems when I ran a domain it provided the wrong data. For example, it stated that a certain keyword exists certain number of times within the description and title of the page but when I looked at the source this was not the case so it made studying the competition harder.

How long should the weekly crawl take
Mine started yesterday afternoon and it's now almost 11pm on Sunday. 30+ hours and still not finished (and no progress indicator). 438 pages quoted as being crawled. That's not normal - right? I have made a bunch of changes based on last weeks crawl so I have been eagerly waiting for this to finish But 30 hours?.... Thanks. Mark
