Why is my crawl STILL in progress?
-
I'm a bit new here, but we've had a few crawls done already. They are always finished by Wednesday night.
Our website is not large (by any means), but the crawl still says it's in progress now 3 days later.
What's the deal here?!?

Hi there!
Thanks for writing in! I checked your account it seems that the crawl was finished. Various factors sometimes can affect the speed at which Roger will check out your site, it usually tries to be as efficient as possible and not take the scenic route, every once in a while he gets stuck trying to resolve something on the site (crossword puzzle maybe) which can cause the crawl to last a little longer. We're constantly keeping track of how long the crawls take for our customers and try to come up with a better more efficient Roger!
If your next crawl is taking more than a day (24 hours), i would send us a ticket at help@seomoz.org. Thanks again for writing in!
Best,
Peter

Cool, thanks Andrea. Glad it's not just me...

I've had mine take several days and Moz has told me that's not unexpected (even if it hasn't happened to you before).
If it goes longer than let's say today, contact their help desk. It's possible something got stuck (it's happened to me) and they have a great help team who will get you taken care of. They are very responsible and approachable.

In Crawl Diagnostics, length of title element is incorrect
Hey all, It appears the Moz crawler is misreading the number of characters in my website's page titles. It shows 72 characters for the following page's title element: http://giavan.com/products/orange-crystal-chain-necklace-with-drop The page title for this web page is: Orange Crystal Chain Necklace with Drop | Giavan which is 48 characters. As it stands, this page title is displayed at 48 characters in Google SERPs. I am getting "This Element is Too Long" issue on 925 pages, which is just about the entire site. These issues appeared after I added additional Shopify (Liquid) code to the page title. If you inspect the code, you will see title element looks a bit odd with extra spacing and line breaks. What I'd like to know is whether or not it's necessary to rewrite the Shopify code, for SEM purposes. My feeling is that it's okay because the page titles look fine in SERPs but those 925 Moz crawl errors are kind of scary. Thanks for your help!

Crawlers crawl weird long urls
I did a crawl start for the first time and i get many errors, but the weird fact is that the crawler tracks duplicate long, not existing urls. For example (to be clear): there is a page: www.website.com/dogs/dog.html but then it is continuing crawling:
Moz Pro | | r.nijkamp
www.website.com/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html what can I do about this? Screaming Frog gave me the same issue, so I know it's something with my website0 -

Pages Crawled: 1 Why?
I have some campaigns which have only 1 page crawled, while some other campaigns, having completely similar URL (subdomain) and number of keywords and pages, have all pages crawled... Why is that so? It has been also a while I waited and so far no change...

If i have just started a campaign, and the crawl is happening - can i log off and shut down my PC
If i have just started a campaign, and the crawl is happening - can i log off and shut down my PC or will this cause the crawl to stop. My campaign was showing as "crawl in process". I then shut down and logged onto my SEOmoz account on another PC. When I did the crawl didnt seem to be in process, even though the total time was still about 30 min from the crawl start...... sorry if this is a stupid question, just a bit new to this

Pages Crawled: 250 | Limit: 250
One of my campaigns says: Pages Crawled: 250 | Limit: 250 Is this because it's new and the limit will go up to 10,000 after the crawl is complete? I have a pro account, 4 other campaigns running and should be allowed 50,000 pages in total

Why am I still Unranked in SEOmoz?
I was very active in SEOmoz's Q&A forums today and completed my profile - raising my Moz points from 0 to 50. On my profile, however, I am still listed as Unranked. Also, I do not appear on the SEOmoz Top Members List next to other users with 50 points. I'm guessing this is something that is updated once a day or so, and the rank will update tomorrow. Is my suspicion correct?
