Why the number of crawled pages is so low¿?
-
Hi, my website is www.theprinterdepo.com and I have been in seomoz pro for 2 months.
When it started it crawled 10000 pages, then I modified robots.txt to disallow some specific parameters in the pages to be crawled.
We have about 3500 products, so thhe number of crawled pages should be close to that number
In the last crawl, it shows only 1700, What should I do?

Hi levelencia1,
This could have been caused by many factors. Was the robots.txt the only change you made? Other things that could have caused it could have been meta "noindex" tags, nofollow links, or broken navigation structures.
In rare instances, sometimes rogerbot has a hiccup.
Let us know if things return to normal on your next crawl. If you have any difficulties feel free to contact the help team (help@seomoz.org) and they should be able to get things straightened out.
Best of luck with your SEO!

Still don't know what you wanted to accomplish with Robots re: I modified robots.txt to disallow some specific parameters in the pages to be crawled.
Go to GWMT: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156449&from=35237&rd=1
This will allow you to determine what your robots.txt accomplished or not:
The Test robots.txt tool will show you if your robots.txt file is accidentally blocking Googlebot from a file or directory on your site, or if it's permitting Googlebot to crawl files that should not appear on the web. When you enter the text of a proposed robots.txt file, the tool reads it in the same way Googlebot does, and lists the effects of the file and any problems found.
Hope it helps you out,

Sorry, This one got lost. I will look at it in the a.m. and give you the feedback. Have you run anything like Xenu on the site? Do you know what is not showing up that would be outside of the robots.txt?

ANY IDEA?

this is my robots.txt
User-agent: * Disallow: */product_compare/* Disallow: *dir=* Disallow: *order=* -

What did you disallow?
Are there specific categories or products you know are missing?
Is there a specific sub directory(s) that is missing?
What is it you wanted to block with robots?

Canonical Page Question
Hi, I have a question relation to Canonical pages That i need clearing up. I am not sure that my bigcommere website is correctly configured and just wanted clarification from someone in the know. Take this page for example https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/ Canonical link is https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/ The Rel="next" link is https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?sort=bestselling&page=2 and this page has a canonical tag as rel='canonical' href='https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?page=2' /> Is this correct as above and working as it should or should the canonical tag for the second (pagination page) https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?page=2 in our source code be saying rel='canonical' href='https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/' />

Is my page being indexed?
To put you all in context, here is the situation, I have pages that are only accessible via an intern search tool that shows the best results for the request. Let's say i want to see the result on page 2, the page 2 will have a request in the url like this: ?p=2&s=12&lang=1&seed=3688 The situation is that we've disallowed every URL's that contains a "?" in the robots.txt file which means that Google doesn't crawl the page 2,3,4 and so on. If a page is only accessible via page 2, do you think Google will be able to access it? The url of the page is included in the sitemap. Thank you in advance for the help!

Why is the Page Authority for posts in my blog so low
I have noticed that the Page Authority for my posts in my blog are all hovering around 1 and the rest of the pages on my website are around 20. The Domain Authority for my website is 16 and I think the page authority of my posts are negatively affecting my Domain Authority as I write more content. Any suggestions or recommendations as to why posts have such low Page Authority compared to similar pages. I have images, links, and great content in my posts, but they are considerably lower in Page Authority*

What to do with temporary empty pages?
I have a website listing real estate in different areas that are for sale. In small villages, towns, and areas, sometimes there is nothing for sale and therefore the page is completely empty with no content except a and some footer text. I have thousand of landing pages for different areas. For example "Apartments in Tibro" or "Houses in Ljusdahl" and Moz Pro gives me some warnings for "Duplicate Content" on the empty ones (I think it does so because the pages are so empty that they are quite similar). I guess Google could also think bad of my site if I have hundreds or thousands of empty pages even if my total amount of pages are 100,000. So, what to do with these pages for these small cities, towns and villages where there is not always houses for sale? Should I remove them completely? Should I make a 404 when no houses for sale and a 200 OK when there is? Please note that I have totally 100,000+ pages and this is only about 5% of all my pages.
