We started a starter crawl 14hrs ago and it's still going, can anyone help on why this is taking so long, when it says '2 hrs' on the interface..
Thanks,
Rory

Hi Rory. Most of our help desk is on holiday today, since it's the Fourth of July in the states. We do have a record of your ticket and one other person who is having a slow starter crawl, and a help desk specialist is looking into this now. Sorry for the delays.

Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

Send an email to help (at) seomoz.org for someone to have a look.

It's a fairly big site, but it does say:
'To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days.'
There's no option to do anything else, like cancel, reset etc — it just says 'Starter crawl in progress', it's been 16hrs now + bit frustraing as needed to send this through to a client this morning.. Anyone from SeoMoz around to look into this?

And here is how you reset the crawl:
1. On your webserver, edit the robots.txt file.
2. Block the seomoz bot from crawling the site by blocking its access to the root.
You can do so by adding the following lines:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /
This would end the crawl session.
But, before you do this, it may a good idea to check if your site indeed has a lot of content and outgoing links?
-
Rory,
What is the sub-domain that you are crawling? It may just be that there is a lot of content to crawl.
-
How would I reset the crawl? I don't appear to have an option to?
-
Rory,
I would guess that this crawl session has hung-up; it would be a good idea to start a new session. The session could have been left in the middle due to a server side issue on your website or a temporary drop in connection between the API server and your website's server.

Shopify crawl issues
Hi Moz'ers, I am a total newcomer to this level of seo. Recently I transitioned to Shopify and I'm puzzled by why I'm getting 803 errors - incomplete crawl attempts due to server timing out. Wouldn't this have to do with Shopify? How would I go about fixing it? I'm also getting 804 - SSL issues, but I assume that will go away. Any advice? Thanks! Sharon

Crawl Diagnostics Summary Problem
We added our website a Robots.txt file and there are pages blocked by robots.txt. Crawl Diagnostics Summary page shows there is no page blocked by Robots.txt. Why?

Crawl Test has taken over 5 days and still has yet to complete
I am running some crawls on some sites and I have a number still pending. I have one from 7 days ago, a couple from 6 days ago, and 1 from 5 days ago. The confusing thing is that I have run a few others in that same period that have finished already. Do I need to restart the crawls or cancel them and start over?

How long is a full crawl?
It's been now over 3 days that the dashboard for one of our campaigns shows "Next Crawl in Progress!". I am not complaining about the length... but I have to agree that SEOMoz is quite addictive, and it's quite frustrating to see that everyday 🙂 Thanks

Crawl Diagnostics Report
I'm a bit concerned about the results I'm getting from the Crawl Diagnostics Report. I've updated the site with canonical urls to remove duplicate content and when I check the site - it all displays the right values, but the report, which has just finished crawling is still showing a lot of pages as duplicate content. Simple example: http://www.domain.com http://www.domain.com/ Both of them are in the duplicate content section although both have canonical url set as: Does each crawl check the entire site from the beginning or just the pages it didn't have a chance to crawl the last time? This is just one of 333 duplicate content pages, which have canonical url pointing to the right page. Can someone please explain?

Links listed in MozPro Crawl Diagnostics
Ok, seeing as I'm getting to the end of my first week as a Pro Member, I'm getting more and more feedback regarding the pages on my site. I'm slightly concerned though that, having logged in this morning, I'm being shown 407 warnings for pages with 'Too Many On Page Links.' According to the blurb at the top of the page, 'Too Many' is generally defined as being over 100 links on a page ... but when I look at the pages which are being thrown up in the report, none of them contain anywhere near 100 links. I seriously doubt there is a glitch with the tool which has led me to think that maybe there's an issue with the way my site is coded. Is anyone aware of a coding problem that may lead Google and SEOMoz to suspect that I have a load of links across my site? P.S. As an aside, when this tool mentions 'Too Many Links' is it referring purely to OBL or does it count links to elsewhere on my domain too? Cheers,

Crawling a website with redirects
Hi, I started a campaign for a website which uses multiple redirects before showing the real content. in the crawling report only one page is crawled. Is there a way to let the crawler pass the redirects to get usefull reports? The website is www.cegeka.be Thank you

Does it really take 3-7 days to crawl a site?
This is what you say on your website: Please note: depending on the size and speed of your site, it may take between 3 and 7 days to complete your crawl. Are you guys kidding? This is unacceptable for almost all of my deadlines, and I suspect 99% of the SEO world... you can fly to the moon faster.
