Crawl Test - Taking too long
-
The last crawl test I invoked seems to be in progress for over 24 hours. The one before that completed in a few hours. Wish there was a progress indicator or an option to cancel.
The crawl (from Tool > Crawl Test) should not take this long. Any ideas or suggestions?
Also, the keyword research tool (plus a few others) have been down ever since I signed up. Is this a normal?

Sorry for the long wait, I had to tell Roger that he was a bad boy/girl/thing? We have resolve the crawler issues and your reports should be updating and reporting as it should. I am very sorry that Roger caused some concerns, it said it won't do it next time.
Thank you very much for your patience

Thanks Peter for the response. Keyword tool start to work but Crawl Test is still pending, it has been over 3 days. I need it to be stopped/cancelled it so I can re-run it. Not being able to crawl and check the changes that were made on the site brings me to a stopping point.
Looking through some of the other Q/A, one of the suggestions was to stop the crawl was to stop it via robots.txt, which didn't worked. I don't think it is even doing anything but stuck in the "in progress" state.

Hey MomoMasta,
Thanks for reaching out to us! I'm sorry for the inordinate amount of time that it took for the crawl to complete (which it should be at the moment). I will have made a note on the issue so our team can take a look at it. I like that feature request (to cancel), you should definitely suggest it in features request forum at :https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests.
I am very sorry for the keyword feature being down due to the recent Google search result change. Our company has learned a lot from this last outage and will have contingency plans in next time Google releases another update. I want to thank you for your patience and hope you will continue being our friend/customer http://screencast.com/t/XaxBDAakziS

Why is my crawl STILL in progress?
I'm a bit new here, but we've had a few crawls done already. They are always finished by Wednesday night. Our website is not large (by any means), but the crawl still says it's in progress now 3 days later. What's the deal here?!?

Can we add sites to the crawl queue for OSE?
Is it possible to request that Open Site Explorer crawls a new URL on its next run? This tool is the first place I go to when working on a new site, and when there is "No Data Available" this is a little frustrating. I fully appreciate that this lack of data is usually a signal that the website is either very new or of low quality, however that if often the reason that I am brought in and would very much like to benchmark and provide initial analysis using this tool. It would make sense that OSE crawls the sites that Moz members are working on wouldnt it? Scott.

SEOmoz crawl error questions
I just got my first seomoz crawl report and was shocked at all the errors it generated. I looked into it and saw 7200 crawl errors. Most of them are duplicate page titles and duplicate page content. I clicked into the report and found that 97% of the errors were going off of one page It has ttp://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20 http://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20__quickjump__A__name_box__begins__name__A__quickjump__E etc Has 20 pages of slight variations of this link. It is all my members list or a search of my members list so it is not really duplicate content or anything. How can I get these errors to go away and make search my site is not taking a hit? The forum software I use is IPB.

How long does it take Open Site Explorer to register my backlinks?
I have been using Open Site Explorer for the following website http://www.doorhandlesltd.co.uk/ I have been link building for serveral months now and added over 100 links including directories such as business.com yet when I run the Open Site Explorer report it says I only have 10 root domain links.......the ones that were there before I started my link building. Any ideas on why this might be? Or does Open Site Explorer take a certain amount of time to collect this data? If so does anybody know how long this takes? Thanks
