How to update a crawl
-
Hi
I crawled my site, it found lots of errors and warning which i have fixed, I told seomoz to recrawl, and it says nothing has changed... It defiantly has though!
How do I make it see these changes?

Hi! You can do a crawl test on up to 3000 pages at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test that should help you out!

I believe if you delete the campaign and then reinstate it you'll get the initial 200 page crawl immediately but it will still take a week or so for the full results to come back.
This was one of the first questions I asked when we first signed up with SEOmoz as we had a monster 5,000 errors on our site and cleaning them all up while waiting a week between updates took a while.
Perhaps if you e-mail SEOmoz they may initiate a re-crawl manually however I think the response may be that you need to wait until the next crawl date - Sorry.

Hi
Is there no way to initiate a new crawl?
If i delete the campaign and re-add will this do it?
Its another 5 days until the next cruel and my designer will be away from tomorrow.

Alas SEOmoz will only crawl once a week. If you go in to your campaign manager you should be able to see the last crawl date and the next scheduled crawl date.
For example, in my account I see
'
Last Crawl Completed: Nov. 30th, 2012 Next Crawl Starts: Dec. 6th, 2012''
I hope this helps!

To change or not to change. DO we update our HTTP page to HTTPS? especially those with basic forms (phone, email, name)??

PDF Instructions come up in Crawl report as Duplicate Content
Hello, My ecommerce site has many PDF instruction pages that are being marked as duplicate content in the site crawl. Each page has a different title, and then a PDF displayed in an iframe with a link back to the previous page & to the category that the product is placed in. Should I add text to the pages to help differentiate them? I included a screenshot of the code that is on all the pages. Thanks! Justin 9tD9HMr

Update old article or publish new content and redirect old post?
Hi all, I'm targetting a keyword and we used to rank quite good for it. Last couple of months traffic of that keyword (and variations) is going down a bit. I wrote an extensive new post on the same topic, much more in dept and from 600 to 1800 words covering the same topic. Is it better to update the old article and mention that it's updated recently, or publish a new post and redirect the old post to the new post?

Did anyone Rankings drop massively last weekend ...Is this new google update ?
Hi all, My Site rankings took a battering in the past week , From what I have read, I know that google have updated their algorithm and supposedly it only affects less than 1% of queries but I was very surprised to have fallen in that list... Just wondered, am i the only site to have been hammered this past week ? or is it more of a case that maybe the new algorithm means I need to be more savvy with our SEO. Just posting a quick general consensus question ... thanks Sarah

Can I exclude sub-domains from the crawl diagnostics?
I am working with a site with 7500 pages in a sub-domain. The root site has 650 pages, but I am having difficulty finding and working with those 650 pages due to all the "noise" from the sub-domain pages that are in Ning and can't be fixed. Can i exclude sub-domains from the crawl?

Updating Old Posts
I have ~ 45 posts that I wrote 2-3 years ago that need to be updated with current information and I'm wondering if I should: Just update them Update them and change the date published to present day Publish the updated info. as a completely new post other? ... and why. I've read so many conflicting thoughts on this, really curious to hear what other Pro members think (or would do if it were them). To give a little more background, the topics of the posts are various retirement communities. Things that may have changed could be they added new amenities, new home types, prices, number of homes still available, etc. I have one page of my site that acts as sort of a directory linking to an article(post) for each community, but worried if I add all the updates as new posts I'll have to link to separate articles about each community which doesn't really make things too friendly for the reader. They want to know about what's going on with each community now...not back 3 years ago. Thoughts? Suggestions? Many thanks! Ryan
