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 ...

Taking more than a day to index after the content changed
Hi everyone, As i got stuck with the confusion that - one of our website pages for the business located in Sharjah contents has been moderated and inspected the URL to google for index with new tags and contents. This is the URL which made the changes: https://www.socprollect-mea.com/sharjah-free-zone-company-registration/ and As i came to know that our page reflecting an issue "Valid items with warnings" once after inspecting the URL in the search console. Something which seems interesting and never experienced before - which is showing: "Products"warning - something like that. I came to know that - Missing field "Brand" and showing no global identifier. Does anybody know what it is and can u able to rectify this concern and get me a solution to index our URL faster on Google search. please?

Crawl Diagnostics Updates
I have several page types on my sites that I have blocked using the robots.txt file (ex: emailafriend.asp, shoppingcart.asp, login.asp), but they are still showing up in crawl diagnostics as issues (ex: duplicate page content, duplicate title tag, etc). Is there a way to filter these issues or perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong resulting in the issues that are showing up? Ryan

How do I get rid of crawl errors?
I recently revamped all my category pages to make them Google friendly. I did a lot of keyword research and ended up deleting categories and renaming categories. Now Google Webmasters is showing a ton of 404 errors. How can I get rid of them? Do I have to remove the URL one by one with Google Webmasters? Is it something that won't hurt my rankings and will go away in time?

What's the best way to handle crawling of photo gallery?
When you have a photo gallery with many search filters and loads and loads of pages, is it best to block all the filters and use google's pagination code? Ex: http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter This site has pages for many different queries. While the page titles are unique, the pages are showing duplicated content.

Crawl Diagnostics - Duplicate Content and Duplicate Page Title Errors
I am getting a lot of duplicate content and duplicate page title errors from my crawl analysis. I using volusion and it looks like the photo gallery is causing the duplicate content errors. both are sitting at 231, this shows I have done something wrong... Example URL: Duplicate Page Content http://www.racquetsource.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=001.KA601 Duplicate Page Title http://www.racquetsource.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=001.KA601 Would anyone know how to properly disallow this? Would this be as simple as a robots.txt entry or something a little more involved within volusion? Any help is appreicated. Cheers Geoff B. (a.k.a) newbie.
