Does SEOMOZ bot not know where to look for AJAX site snapshots?

Not being web developers on the help team, I'm hesitant diving into the code and tell you what's wrong here. Running some quick searches on Google though, it does look like there may be something wrong with the site setup. I'd really recommend reviewing the article I linked to above. It's a little old but the material is still relevant.
Once everything is corrected, Roger still may not be able to read the content. The workaround presented above was to show a potential solution but it isn't a guaranteed fix since he does have issues understanding AJAX in general.

I definitely understand how frustrating this can be and wish I could do more to help. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to dive in a bit more on the technical web dev side of things.

We are already using pushstate on supported browsers via angularjs ui.router library, which is why you see clean URL on our site without #! notation...

Hi there,
This question is a bit intricate.
With AJAX content like this, I know Google's full specifications: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification indicate that the #! and ?escaped_fragment= technique works for their crawlers. However, Roger is a bit picky and isn't robust enough yet to use only the sitemap as the reference in this case. Luckily, one of our wonderful users came up with a solution using pushState() method.

I can't answer the question exactly, but I did notice that if you go to the url directly, the content displays properly but returns a 404 error. That may cause issues. It doesn't appear to be affecting Google's crawl but I could see it messing up Moz's crawler, especially because I'm fairly positive that Bing doesn't handle ajax properly.

Is MOZ any good to analyze an e-commerce site? How come that a cms page can be seen as duplicate content with a category page?
Hi Guys, I've been using Moz for quite a long time now for 2 of my shops. Now I am in the process of launching the second shop and I just don't understand how is it possible that a cms static page (About US) to be seen as a duplicate content with other 96 pages - including product pages and other totally different pages such as delivery information, category pages, returns and so on. Really MOZ?? Is it me or you?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Why is Moz Crawling More Pages Than My Site Actually Has?
Hi I have a site that only has 5k pages but Moz has crawled 50K pages on the site when I initiated the site crawl. I don't exactly know why Moz is reporting me back so many pages but I was wondering why this is and if any of you out in the Moz community know anything about this. Thanks

Is the update site crawl feature following robot.txt rules?
I noticed that most of the errors would not be occurring if Moz's tool followed the rules implemented in sites robots.txt. Has anyone else seen this problem and do you know if Moz will fix this?

Site Crawl - MOz Pro
Hi There, When i look into my site crawl i have thousands of duplicate content issues. Now they are essentially product pages which are in multiple categories - however we have added the canonical tag so im confused as to why all of these are appearing as if there is an error, does the MOZ bot not take canonicals into account? Kind Regards Gemma

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

Why isn't the Moz bar data populating for Yahoo sites?
The Moz bar isn't populating information for Yahoo homepage or it's verticals (i.e. homes, autos, finance, etc.), but I can get this data for other portals like AOL or MSN. I'm specifically looking for PA, mR, and DA information, but instead I get a generic "Search Profile" bar with no page/site-specific data.

Blocked Production Site from Search Engines - How to get it Crawled by Moz Crawler
I have an 'under development' site hosted, (which is an exact replica of live site as working on to add new functionalities & modules) - but its password protected, excluded from robots.txt (Disallow) & also marked noindex on all pages in the index - so that Googlebot & other Search Engines can not crawl the site At present the development work is almost 95% completed., Now - feel like to crawl the site through SEOMOZ Roger Bot - to know the errors and all indexed urls by Rogerbot. What's the best way to get Moz Bot crawl the site - but simultaneously continue it blocking its access to Search Engines I have gone through - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93708?hl=en, it says a) Save it in a password-protected directory. Googlebot and other spiders won't be able to access the content- But this way Moz will also not be able to crawl the site b) Use a robots.txt to control access to files and directories on your server - However it also says - It's important to note that even if you use a robots.txt file to block spiders from crawling content on your site, Google could discover it in other ways and add it to our index. c) Use a noindex meta tag to prevent content from appearing in our search results - It also says that a link to the page can still appear in their search results. Because we have to crawl your page in order to see the noindex tag, there's a small chance that Googlebot won't see and respect the noindex meta tag Password Protected thus seems the best way to continue blocking. However, continuing with it will also block Moz bot to crawl the site. Any suggestions Thanks
