We started a starter crawl 14hrs ago and it's still going, can anyone help on why this is taking so long, when it says '2 hrs' on the interface..
Thanks,
Rory

Hi Rory. Most of our help desk is on holiday today, since it's the Fourth of July in the states. We do have a record of your ticket and one other person who is having a slow starter crawl, and a help desk specialist is looking into this now. Sorry for the delays.

Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

Send an email to help (at) seomoz.org for someone to have a look.

It's a fairly big site, but it does say:
'To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days.'
There's no option to do anything else, like cancel, reset etc — it just says 'Starter crawl in progress', it's been 16hrs now + bit frustraing as needed to send this through to a client this morning.. Anyone from SeoMoz around to look into this?

And here is how you reset the crawl:
1. On your webserver, edit the robots.txt file.
2. Block the seomoz bot from crawling the site by blocking its access to the root.
You can do so by adding the following lines:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /
This would end the crawl session.
But, before you do this, it may a good idea to check if your site indeed has a lot of content and outgoing links?

Rory,
What is the sub-domain that you are crawling? It may just be that there is a lot of content to crawl.
-
How would I reset the crawl? I don't appear to have an option to?
-
Rory,
I would guess that this crawl session has hung-up; it would be a good idea to start a new session. The session could have been left in the middle due to a server side issue on your website or a temporary drop in connection between the API server and your website's server.

Has any on else experienced a spike in crawl errors?
Hi, Since the last time our sites were crawled in SEOmoz they are all showing a spike in Errors. (Mainly duplicate page titles and duplicate content). We haven't changed anything to the structure of the sites but they are all using the same content management system. The image is an example of what we are witnessing for all our sites based on the same system. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? or does anyone know of any changes that SEOmoz has implemented which may be affecting this? Thanks in advance, Anthony. WzdQV WzdQV WzdQV.jpg WzdQV.jpg

Amount of Pages Crawled Dropped Significantly
I am just wondering if something changed with the SEOMoz crawler. I was always getting 10,000 or near 10,000 pages crawled. After the last two crawls I am ending up around 2500 pages. Has anything changed that I would need to look at it see if I am blocking the crawler or something else?

Why does the crawl report say I should have meta description and title tags in my xml files?
Just had my first crawl report today which has been very useful in finding missing and duplicated title tags and meta descriptions but it has flagged up the fact that my xml files are missing these. Surely non HTML documents shouldn't have them (or need them) so why are they showing up in the report?

Excluding parameters from seomoz crawl?
I'm getting a ton of duplicate content errors because almost all of my pages feature a "print this page" link that adds the parameter "printable=Y" to the URL and displays a plain text version of the same page. Is there any way to exclude these pages from the crawl results?

How can I clean up my crawl report from duplicate records?
I am viewing my Crawl Diagnostics Report. My report is filled with data which really shouldn't be there. For example I have a page: http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/ This is a main forum page. It contains a list of many threads. The list can be sorted on many values. The page is canonicalized, and has been since it was created. My crawl report shows this page listed 15 times. http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=asc http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=desc http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?order=post_date and so forth. Each of those pages uses the same canonicalization reference shared above. I have three questions: Why is this data appearing in my crawl report? These pages are properly canonicalized. If these pages are supposed to appear in the report for some reason, how can I remove them? My desire is to focus on any pages which may have an issue which needs to be addressed. This site has about 50 forum pages and when you add an extra 15 pages per forum, it becomes a lot harder to locate actionable data. To make matters worse, these forum indexes often have many pages. So if I have a "Corvette" forum there that is 10 pages long, then there will be 150 extra pages just for that particular forum in my crawl report. Is there anything I am missing? To the best of my knowledge everything is set up according to the best SEO practices. If there is any other opinions, I would like to hear them.
