Crawl complete, but nothing changed?
-
Hi everyone,
According to my account, the crawl diagnostics were completed yesterday. However, the duplicate page titles that it mentions aren't correct. The changes that I implemented several days ago are not being shown in the report.
When I click the duplicate page title links, the latest date in the graph is 3/26. However, it says the crawl was completed on 3/30.
Does it take a few days for the reports to match what the crawl actually discovered?

Here's what it says:
Last Crawl Completed: 2011-03-30 12:17:51 -0700 New Crawl Starts: 04/04/2011
Unfortunately, the errors that it mentioned were fixed several days before the crawl started. If it happens after the next crawl, I'll be worried. So, I'll just wait until then.

There is a difference between the crawl start date and crawl completion date so that may be why you think it should be different than is actually showing.

Thanks for the info, Wayne. I really appreciate it!

Hi Beeneeb,
You are correct in your assumption--the reports are not real-time. In fact, I have had as much as a week go by before my changes were recognized by the report pages. I'm assuming others enjoy the same experience
All the best,

MOZ Starter Crawl Not Working
Hello, I just added a new subdomain as one of my campaigns on MOZ. The starter crawl report keeps coming back to me with just one page crawled (it should crawl up to 250 pages). I've deleted and added this subdomain three times and it continues to present me with this problem.I've even waited a week for the full crawl report but that also showed just one page crawled. Does anybody know why this is happening? Thanks!

Crawl Diagnostics
My site was crawled last night and found 10,000 errors due to a Robot.txt change implemented last week in between Moz crawls. This is obviously very bad so we have corrected it this morning. We do not want to wait until next Monday (6 days) to see if the fix has worked. How do we force a Moz crawl now? Thanks

First Campaign: No email when each step is completed?
I joined SEOMoz 6 days ago and set up my first campaign straight away. On my Campaign Overview, it says: "Here's what you can expect over the coming days (we'll send you an email when each step is completed". But I've not received an email saying that any of the steps are completed, so I haven't really used any of the tools yet as I wanted to wait until I had something to work with 🙂 Since it's almost been 7 days (will be 7 tomorrow), do I assume that most if not all of the stages have now been completed and I can get started? Thanks, Iain.

Third crawl of my sites back to 250 pages
Hi all, I've been waiting some days for the third crawl of my sites, but SEOMOZ only crawled 277 pages. The next phrase appeared on my crawl report: Pages Crawled: 277 | Limit: 250 My last 2 crawls were of about 10K limit. Any idea? Kind regards, Simon.

Issue in number of pages crawled
i wanted to figure out how our friend Roger Bot works. On the first crawl of one of my large sites, the number of pages crawled stopped at 10000 (due to the restriction on the pro account). However after a few weeks, the number of pages crawled went down to about 5500. This number seemed to be a more accurate count of the pages on our site. Today, it seems that Roger Bot has completed another crawl and the number is up to 10000 again. I know there has been no downtime on our site, and the items that we fixed on our site did not reduce or increase the number of pages we had. Just making sure there are no known issues with Roger Bot before I look deeper into our site to see if there is an issue. Thanks!

Crawl Diagnostics shows two title and meta tag errors but they are false positives.
I got one hit each on "Missing Meta Description Tag" and "Title Missing or Empty" but in the source of my page they are clearly there: <title>Protein Powder | Compare and Get the Best Prices</title> <meta name="keywords" content="protein powder, whey protein, protein supplement, whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed whey" /> I understand there are conventions which may or may not be followed by Drupal (I read an earlier question where ordering and W3C conventions were suggested) but i'm not sure how to fix them given Drupal will just overwrite any hand editing the next time something is built and importantly, I can't get the crawl to work on cue - it works on the automatic once a week crawl in the main campaign summary but every time I've specifically used the Crawl Test tool it gives me a "There was an error submitting your request to the crawler. Please try again later" so I can't really test any changes. Given Google seems to be recognising the title tag - ie showing it in the results - Do I put this down as seomoz just not working? Kind Regards, Brian

SEOMoz only crawling 5 pages of my website
Hello, I've added a new website to my SEOmoz campaign tool. It only crawls 5 pages of the site. I know the site has way more pages then this and also has a blog. Google shows at least 1000 results indexed. Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that the site is preventing a proper crawl? Thanks Bill
