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

Duplicate content in crawl despite canonical
Hi! I've had a bunch of duplicate content issues come up in a crawl, but a lot of them seem to have canonical tags implemented correctly. For example: http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Fireplaces http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Nursery http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables?page=0 Aztec http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables?page=1 Any ideas on what's happening here?

Ignore Moz Notices?
Hi All, I read an old post (2011) about ignoring rel canonical notices from Moz. I wondered why they can be ignored? The thing is, it's showing a bunch of rel canonical errors for my pages but I know I have the tag right. At the risk of being offensive.. can the notices be ignored because the Moz data is erroneous? I'm not sure what to make of this. Thanks!

Crawl Errors from URL Parameter
Hello, I am having this issue within SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnosis report. There are a lot of crawl errors happening with pages associated with /login. I will see site.com/login?r=http://.... and have several duplicate content issues associated with those urls. Seeing this, I checked WMT to see if the Google crawler was showing this error as well. It wasn't. So what I ended doing was going to the robots.txt and disallowing rogerbot. It looks like this: User-agent: rogerbot Disallow:/login However, SEOmoz has crawled again and it still picking up on those URLs. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

Crawl Diagnostics Error Spike
With the last crawl update to one of my sites there was a huge spike in errors reported. The errors jumped by 16,659 -- majority of which are under the duplicate title and duplicate content category. When I look at the specific issues it seems that the crawler is crawling a ton of blank pages on the sites blog through pagination. The odd thing is that the site has not been updated in a while and prior to this crawl on Jun 4th there were no reports of these blank pages. Is this something that can be an error on the crawler side of things? Any suggestions on next steps would be greatly appreciated. I'm adding an image of the error spike Xovep.jpg?1 Xovep.jpg?1

How long should the weekly crawl take
Mine started yesterday afternoon and it's now almost 11pm on Sunday. 30+ hours and still not finished (and no progress indicator). 438 pages quoted as being crawled. That's not normal - right? I have made a bunch of changes based on last weeks crawl so I have been eagerly waiting for this to finish But 30 hours?.... Thanks. Mark

Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls
I would like to ask for the possible problem plus solution on one of our campaigns. Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls. Before the last two crawls, SEOmoz crawls numerous pages and we can’t think of a possible reason for this error. For this particular campaign , there are no data --- no errors, warnings and notices. Thanks!
