Waiting 3 days for Crawl Test to complete
-
Being new to seomoz Im not sure if I understand the crawl test completely. You setup a campaign, enter all your info, rogerbot goes out and crawls your site and gives you results as to what your doing right and what is wrong or could use looking into.
So once I get my results, I make edits to my site pages. In my case Im getting lots of duplicate content and duplicate titles. So I go back and make adjustments and then submit a crawl test to see the change results.
In other tools Ive used in past I was able to re run crawl immediately and fine tune results on the fly. seomoz crawl test is still pending after three days. is this normal? or is there another way to make changes and run reports to see results instantly?
If your working on many sites and making changes, having to wait 3 or more days to see how your changes were received seems like a long time.

Hey everyone! Sorry about the odd crawl test activity. If you don't mind shooting us an email at help@seomoz.org with your PRO email address and the name of the domain that is stuck we can push then through on the back end. I would grab more information here, but we can't since it is a public forum. :S
Look forward to your emails and sorry about the wait!

You could use a program that crawls your site for same purpose. Lots of free apps out there.

Thanks alsvik,
Im kind of surprised as well how long it takes. My site has maybe 50 pages, so 3-4 days seems like along time to wait to see if you cleared out all the title and duplicate content issues or any other errors. Pretty disappointing to have to wait that long. So if one slips through the cracks its make a correction and wait another week to test and see results. I just cant see how this is practical in today's fast paced seo evolving world.

Hi Anthony.
It surprised me as well that it takes 3-4 days to crawl my site. I have +10.000 pages so i guess its ok.
Seomoz is crawling at a very low speed
Actually Seomoz crawls your site every week if you set up a campaign. Mine does! Every friday or saturday i get a crawl-report.
About the timeframe, try using GWT for meta desc and title errors!? GWT is updated monthly on terms of pages with identical title/meta descriptions. And if you make changes you shouldnt expect to see them have impact on SERP within the first month or two ...

Moz crawl
Hi, 1. Is there any way to get the moz crawl to analyse any site like the website auditor tool in seo powersuite on command. It would be good to see what keyword my competitors are using. would also like to analyse my site when i have corrected errors on command. 2. Is google adwords keyword tool still the best keyword research tool? I Don't see anything in the newbie guides to the moz pro tool regarding keyword research. Thanks! David.

Why is SEOMOZ Crawl Diagnostics not in sync with Webmaster Tools
Currently, my Website, according to the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, has 401 'Duplicate Page Title Errors'. But in Google Webmaster Tools, under Óptimization on the Left hand Side Toolbar, if you look up HTML Improvements, there are only 4 'Duplicate Title Tags'. I have two questions re this: A) Do 'Duplicate Page Title Errors' and 'Duplicate Title Tags' have the same meaning' ? , and B) why are there 401 errors located by the former, and just 4 by the latter?

How does a keyword get crawled and pointed at a certain page
I was wondering if you can give me some insight on how a keyword that I put on my campaign gets linked to a specific URL on my website by SEOMoz or Google. For example: updating a brick fireplace is my keyword. On the campaign when I am looking at my on page optimization, the URL assigned (or given) to it is my homepage. How is this determined and is there a way around it and or directing it to the correct page? Thanks

How to handle Meta Tags on Pagination... page 2,3,4....
Seems that SEOMoz reports are considering my paginated pages as duplicate Meta Tags. For example, I have a product catalog with 5 paginated pages. Obviously the content on each page is unique and the URL ends in =4, =5 for the page number, but the Title and Description are the same for all the pages. Any suggestions on how to handle this? The pages other than page 1 are not indexed, so it should not be a big deal. But wondering if I should programatically ad the page number to the additional pages to show a difference?
