Problem crawling a website with age verification page.
-
Hy every1,
Need your help very urgent. I need to crawl a website that first has a page where you need to put your age for verification and after that you are redirected to the website. My problem is that SEOmoz, crawls only that first page, not the whole website. How can I crawl the whole website?, do you need me to upload a link to the website?
Thank you very much
Catalin

Hello Catalin,
Our crawler will not be able to get past an age verification page. You will need to find or unlock a subfolder or subdomain to bypass this if you would like our crawlers to be able to get through. Luckily, Google's crawlers are a bit more thorough a will be able to index your site properly. We are hoping to add this ability soon and I hope you can find a way for us to get through in the meantime.

the problem is that the pages are not in a subfolder. I have to pass the verification page every time :(. SEOMoz is crawling only the first page.

Well that's a small side note to your problem ;-), are you able to just set up a crawl for a sub folder? Or do you have to pass the verification at all times?

OK, thank you for your short answer, but the thing is I didn't understand anything from what you wrote :).
I want to add that I do not own the website. I dont have acces to back-end, cms, etc. The client just wants me to crawl the whole website to see if something is wrong. I can see with my own eyes that the website has duplicate content, but seomoz doesnt crawls the website, because of that first page with verification.

Hi Catalin,
The best way do to this is of course to include a link to the rest of the Web site (you could remove the link of course when Roger came by). But what you also could is redirect the user based on the user agent when linking wouldn't be an option.
Hope this helps!

Is my 404 page set up correctly?
HI there! In using a few different tools, and I have received varied result concerning my 404 page. In WebSite Auditor from Link Assistant, it says my page is set up incorrectly. My webmaster has told me that it is set up correctly, but at this point I'm not entirely sure what's what. Is there another way to test it? I guess i'm not quite sure about the jargon and what "return 404 response code" actually means. Thanks for your help!

Problem with Rankings and On-page Optimization
Hi SEOZ 🙂 I have a question regarding the Rankings and On-page Optimization in the seomoz Campaign Manager. I have setup a website url for examle: www.keyword.com After that created a list of all the target Keywords, that I want to reach within my Website: keyword-a, keyword-b, keyword-c and so on... Then I did a On-Page Analysis for all the urls with the specific keywords. keyword-a: www.keyword.com/keyword-a/ keyword-b: www.keyword.com/keyword-b/ keyword-c: www.keyword.com/keyword-c/ and so on... Most of the urls got the A grade. Now after the Website hast launched and got crawled, I have a problem with the Rankings and the On-page Optimization. The Rankings for my Keywords and also the Grades at the On-page Optimization are only shown for my Start/Homepage: www.keyword.com NOT for the urls that are specific for a Keyword for example: www.keyword.com/keyword-a/ Also the Grades are shown for the Keywords but again only in combination with my Start/Homepage www.keyword.com NOT for www.keyword.com/keyword-a/ What is the problem? Bye, Alex

On Page missing keywords
I setup my keywords on SEOMoz properly but the On Page result just shows me 2 keywords instead of the 7 that I set for my campaign. I was expecting the application to score the other keywords on wednesday but it did not add the missing keywords. Is this a bug?
