Only Crawling 1 page?
-
Hi Guys,
Any advice much appreciated on this!
Recently set up a new campaign on my dashboard with just 5 keywords. The domain is brammer.co.uk and a quick Google site:brammer.co.uk shows a good amount of indexed pages.
However - first seomoz tool crawl has only crawled 1 url!!
"Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 12th, 2011 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 17th, 2011"
Any ideas what's stopping the tool crawl anymore of the site??
Cheers in advance..

Agreed. I've passed this to the devs.
You've been most helpful today - Thanks for your time, very much appreciated.

Well I don't think we can hold this against SEOmoz particularly, if something as basic as Xenu can't crawl it and W3C can't view it's source code I think it's somewhat fair to blame the site. Even if Google can see it I would imagine if the matter of fixed you might see a boost regardless.
Google needs to be able to see sites no matter what their state because you or I can do the same, they have the resources to implement that as well. Smaller operations (everything else) have to make do with figuring it out the old fashioned way through the source code.
I think it's the encoding simply because that is the first port of call on the page and it's broken. If it was anything further down we would at least be seeing some page data cropping up.
The only other thing it could be (because I can't find a robots.txt) is something server side, and that's something it's very difficult to establish without direct access.

Interesting. Do you think that could be it? Googlebot seems to find it's way around it though. I'd have thought if G could do it then SEOmoz tools would, otherwise I imagined getting an inaccessibility error or similar from moz.
I'll get that changed and see if it makes a difference..
Thanks again for looking at it!

Xenu doesn't like it either, only indexes the one page.
Ran a w3c validation check and it threw up the fact there is no character encoding specified, which may well be the whole of the problem.
If you look at the source code that w3c displays you can see it's essentially an empty document.

Any ideas? got a report due on the 19th and the next crawl is due on the 17th. Would be great to remove any blockers before then if poss. thanks!
-
Definately. Cheers.

Worth a stab.
Probably worthwhile setting that forwarding up in the meantime anyway.
-
Thanks Tom, but no, it's setup as www.brammer.co.uk so it's not that.
-
Well if you've just put in http://brammer.co.uk it may well be falling over because the domain isn't forwarding to http://www.brammer.co.uk
That's my guess. You just need to forward the domain and it should all be sorted.

Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?
(Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm

Problem with On-page
I have an issue. I have added 5 keywords but when i go to the "on page" tab. They are not there... So i press on "Add keyword" and it takes me to another page where i can see all my keywords. So i go back to the "on page" and no keyword shows up. I wanna have a summary of the weekly crawl for the on page of these keywords and it's not showing up 😞 Anybody knows why?

Crawl Diagnostics - Historical Summary
As we've been fixing errors on our website, the crawl diagnostic graphs have been showing great results (top left to bottom right for errors). The problem is the graphs themselves aren't very pretty. I can't use them in my internal reports (all internal reports are standardised colours/formats). Is there anyway of exporting the top level summary with historic data so the graphs can be recreated in company colours? I don't want the detailed CSV breakdown of what errors occurred, but rather than on X date there were Y errors, the next month Z errors and so forth. The data must already be in the SEOMoz system in order to create the graphs themselves - I was hoping this can be made available to us if it isn't already? Does anyone know if there is already a way of doing this? I've tried to 'inspect element' and find the underlying data in the source code but to no avail, and can't see any exports that would do this. Thanks in advance Dean

Benefits of reducing on page links
This is more of a discussion point. What would be the measurable results of reducing the number of on page links, specifically on a home page, but let's assume by way of a large navigation menu most of the pages have a lot of links" For instance, would any of the stats on the MozBar be affected (let's start with the home page). Would the Page Authority or MozRank change at all, perhaps because there is less "juice" flowing out of the home page? Thanks! 🙂

SEOMOZ Crawl Test
Guys I really have an issue that i know have but cannot see if that makes sense. Basically 3 months ago i did a site wide 301 from economyleasinguk.co.uk to www.economy-car-leasing.co.uk Every thing looks good get all the correct header responses , all canonicals work perfectly , Google webmaster tools is updated fetch as google bot shows the old site is 301 I tried the seomoz crawl test today on the old domain and got this message Oh no! Looks like the page you were trying to access is temporarily down which at first thought ok because the site was not there it wont do it on an old 301 domain, however i tried it on a domain i know has just been 301'd and i got this message The URL http://www.site1.com/ redirects to http://site2.com/. Do you want to crawl http://site2.com/ instead?
Moz Pro | | kellymandingo
Would you like to:
Continue with www.site1.com
Continue with site2.com I really do not know what to do, its either the redirect script is missing something however its doing what it should or the server is a problem but again its doing what it should so why would SEOMOZ not be able to crawl the old URL like it example site above. Now the strange thing is Open Site Explorer does see the 301 and asks if i want to check the new URL instead Ps the redirect is done using PHP redirect which i am asking him to change to a htaccess as its now on a apache server and was wondering if this could be an issue, all pages go to correct pages as requested Thanks in Advance1 -
Pages Crawled: 0 ?
I've been with SEO Moz for over a month and a half. Why would this weeks crawl have Pages Crawled: 0? I've made no changes since the crawl last week that had 10k pages crawled...

Is there any way to view crawl errors historically?
One of the website's we monitor have been getting high duplicate page titles, as we work through the pages, we see changes and the number of duplicate page titles are decreasing. However, lately, it went up again and the duplicate page titles have increased. I wanted to ask if there's any way to view the new errors and the old errors separately or sorted in a way that can help me identify why we are getting new page crawl errors. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

HTTP 404 for 404-page?
Hi Mozzers! SEOmoz just finished crawling one of my websites and this crawl found 3 errors. One of these errors was the (custom) 404-page, because of the http-status 404. What's you suggestion about this? Should a 404-page have a status 404? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
