How long does it typically take MOZBOT to crawl a site?
-
Our site has had "crawl in progress" for over 24 hours now without an update, we're dying for the results since our last changes :).
-
24 hours isn't out of the ordinary. I've had a site with a blog that took close to 3 days to complete a full crawl. You could use the report card page if you're looking for an update regarding those changes for a specific page or two.
-
Depending upon the site, I have seen campaigns indexed in as little as 12hrs and as much as 48-72hrs. Again, that could also depend upon what's in the queue and what the resources available are and how big your website is.
You might also want to try the Crawl Test tool at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test
It usually completes pretty fast and the data is always good to have.

Shopify crawl issues
Hi Moz'ers, I am a total newcomer to this level of seo. Recently I transitioned to Shopify and I'm puzzled by why I'm getting 803 errors - incomplete crawl attempts due to server timing out. Wouldn't this have to do with Shopify? How would I go about fixing it? I'm also getting 804 - SSL issues, but I assume that will go away. Any advice? Thanks! Sharon

Is it possible to block Moz from crawling sites?
Hi, is it possible to stop Moz from crawling a site at the server level? Not that I am looking to do this or anything, but here's why I'm asking. I have been crawling a site that is managed (currently by 2 parties), and I noticed that this week pages crawled went from 80 (last week) to 1 page!! I know, what? See my image attached... and the issues all went to zero "0"....! So is it possible that someone can't prevent Moz from crawling the site at the server level? I checked the robots.txt file on the site, but nothing there. I'm curious. dYNUwjd.jpg

On Page Reports for Long-Tail Keywords?
First Q&A here, so take it easy on me. Hopefully this is not a dumb question. 99% of the on page reports I look at are for local keywords. I'm finding that some of the page reports get and F where they should be receiving A's. I noticed if I manage a long-tail keyword like "books in houston tx" that I get a grade based on the exact phrase as opposed to a combination of the keywords. So when I have text in the body saying "books in the Houston area" or "Houston Books" for example, instead of using my exact managed keyword, it will tell me that the keyword is not mentioned in the body anywhere. When it is, it's just not in the exact order... I'm trying to write my pages for users and I don't think the users want to hear "books in houston tx" several times. If I do a report on the same page for the keyword "books" I get an A. So this is where it gets a little in the grey area for me. I need a solid on page report for local long-tail search terms. Anyone have any advice? Is there a way I could be using this tool to better suit my needs?

Tools that crawl 2 million page sites
Our site is about 2million pages deep, 50% of which is stale content. Yes, I know - OMG #unhygienic. Even if we get approval to get rid of half of it. SEOMoz Pro Elite only crawls 20k deep - what can i do to crawl and diagnose the whole site. Are there any tools anyone can suggest. SEOMoz??

What Does the SEO Moz Crawler Take Into account?
I'm working on a page that has links from some decent pages pointing to it, but a lot of them are low-value blog comments. So I'm pretty sure that its Page Authority is higher than it should be, compared to where it's ranking. Does SEO moz take the type of link into account? i.e. if it's a footer link, blog comment, or forum signature link; this should carry less weight than a link in the content of the page itself, as it does with Google.
