Crawl Errors and Notices drop to zero
-
Hi all,
After setting up a campaign in Moz the crawl is successful and it showed the Errors and Warnings in crawl diagnostics (each one had about 40-50), but after a few days the number dropped to zero. Only the "notices" seems to stay normal, with a slight drop since the campaign set up, but not dropping to zero. I set this campaign up in a colleague's account and the same thing happened shortly after set up. I didn't find any Q&A already posted so any insight is appreciated!

Glad I could help!

Thank you for looking into this. Really appreciate it!

Hey Vanessa,
Every URL that is in the report you forwarded is on the blog, so it definitely looks like the noindex tag on the blog is the reason for the drop in crawl errors and warnings. If you prefer that we begin crawling the blog again, you can have that tag removed, but the tag also means that the search engines aren't indexing those pages or finding those errors any longer either.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for looking into this, Chiaryn. That is the correct campaign. I have a report from April 17 and I sent it to help@seomoz.org. If you can shed any light on this that would be a big help. I appreciate it!

Hey Vanessa,
Thanks for writing in.
I looked into your account and I think you are referring to the Sparky campaign. Unfortunately, I can only see the most recent crawl data, so I don't have a way to compare the crawls from prior to April 24th to see why the number of errors and warnings would have dropped off around that time.
I do see that we picked up a noindex, nofollow tag on the blog pages on April 16th, so it may be that we were crawling other pages on the blog that had errors and warnings before the tag was added. But once the noindex, nofollow tags were added, we weren't able to crawl those pages and report back on the errors.
If you can think of any other changes that may have taken place around April or if you have an old report that shows some of the URLs that were reported as having errors, I can look into this further for you. If you prefer not to include the error report on this public forum, you can always email it to help@seomoz.org and include my name in the subject line.
I hope this helps.
Chiaryn

How to Fix 404 Errors
Hey Moz'ers - I just added a new site to my Moz Pro account and when I got the crawl report back there was a ton of 404 errors (see attached). I realize the best way to fix these is to manually go through every single error and see what the issue is... I just don't have time right now, and I don't have a team member that can jump on this either, but realize this will be a huge boost to this client if/when I get these resolved... So my question is: Is there a quicker way to get these resolved? Is there an outsourcing company that can fix my clients errors correctly? Thanks for the help in advance:) wBhzEeV

Only 1 page has been crawled. Why?
I set a new profile up a fortnight ago. Last week seomoz crawled the entire site (10k pages), and this week has only crawled 1 page. Nothing's changed on the site that I'm aware of, so what's happened?
