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?

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?

Does a number of products in anchor text (link to product list page) have any influence on SEO?
For example: shower cabins (660), used in our onpage-navigation which links to a product list page.

What should I do about not found pages?
I took over a site that had been hacked. A bunch of pages were created that said domain.com/cms/viagra. The pages are gone but they still show in webmaster tools as not being found, which is what I want. However, should I do anything besides leaving them as 404?

New site: More pages for usability, or fewer more detailed pages for greater domain authority flow?
Ladies and gents! We're building a new site. We have a list of 28 professions, and we're wondering whether or not to include them all on one long and detailed page, or to keep them on their own separate pages. Thinking about the flow of domain authority - I could see 28 pages diluting it quite heavily - but at the same time, I think having the separate pages would be better for the user. What do you think?

Crawl Errors
Okay, I was just in my Google Webmaster Tools and was looking at some of the stats. I have 1354 "not found" pages google says. Many of these URL's are bizarre. I don't know what they are. Others I do know. What should I do about this? Especially all the URL's I don't even know what they are?

What Are The Page Linking Options?
Okay, so I'm working with a site that has pretty good domain authority, but the interior pages are not well linked or optimized. So, it ranks for some terms, but everything goes to the home page. So, I'd like to increase the authority of the interior pages. The client is not wild about spreading targeted juice via something like a footer. They also don't like a "Popular Searches" style link list. The objection is that it's not attractive. They currently use cute euphemisms as the linking text, so like "cool stuff" instead of "sheepskin seat covers." In that made up example, they'd like to rank for the latter, but insist on using the former. What about a slide show with alt text/links? Would that increase the authority of those pages in a term-targeted kinda way? Are there other options? Does it matter how prominent those links are, like footers not as good as something higher up the page? They currently use a pull-down kind of thing that still results in some pages having no authority. Do bots use that equally well? Thanks!
