Only Crawling 1 page?
-
Hi Guys,
Any advice much appreciated on this!
Recently set up a new campaign on my dashboard with just 5 keywords. The domain is brammer.co.uk and a quick Google site:brammer.co.uk shows a good amount of indexed pages.
However - first seomoz tool crawl has only crawled 1 url!!
"Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 12th, 2011 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 17th, 2011"
Any ideas what's stopping the tool crawl anymore of the site??
Cheers in advance..

Agreed. I've passed this to the devs.
You've been most helpful today - Thanks for your time, very much appreciated.

Well I don't think we can hold this against SEOmoz particularly, if something as basic as Xenu can't crawl it and W3C can't view it's source code I think it's somewhat fair to blame the site. Even if Google can see it I would imagine if the matter of fixed you might see a boost regardless.
Google needs to be able to see sites no matter what their state because you or I can do the same, they have the resources to implement that as well. Smaller operations (everything else) have to make do with figuring it out the old fashioned way through the source code.
I think it's the encoding simply because that is the first port of call on the page and it's broken. If it was anything further down we would at least be seeing some page data cropping up.
The only other thing it could be (because I can't find a robots.txt) is something server side, and that's something it's very difficult to establish without direct access.

Interesting. Do you think that could be it? Googlebot seems to find it's way around it though. I'd have thought if G could do it then SEOmoz tools would, otherwise I imagined getting an inaccessibility error or similar from moz.
I'll get that changed and see if it makes a difference..
Thanks again for looking at it!

Xenu doesn't like it either, only indexes the one page.
Ran a w3c validation check and it threw up the fact there is no character encoding specified, which may well be the whole of the problem.
If you look at the source code that w3c displays you can see it's essentially an empty document.

Any ideas? got a report due on the 19th and the next crawl is due on the 17th. Would be great to remove any blockers before then if poss. thanks!
-
Definately. Cheers.

Worth a stab.
Probably worthwhile setting that forwarding up in the meantime anyway.
-
Thanks Tom, but no, it's setup as www.brammer.co.uk so it's not that.
-
Well if you've just put in http://brammer.co.uk it may well be falling over because the domain isn't forwarding to http://www.brammer.co.uk
That's my guess. You just need to forward the domain and it should all be sorted.

ERROR: Too Many on-page links!
User wise, my product menu @LEDSupply.com is user friendly, but I'm concerned that it might be seen by crawlers as bad because of the TOO MANY ON-PAGE LINKS error I am getting in my moz crawl report. Is it really counting all the links in every drop-down menu? If so, is there are resource on how to fix it????

Duplicate content in crawl despite canonical
Hi! I've had a bunch of duplicate content issues come up in a crawl, but a lot of them seem to have canonical tags implemented correctly. For example: http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Fireplaces http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Nursery http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables?page=0 Aztec http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/aztec-imports/-catg=Turntables?page=1 Any ideas on what's happening here?

Campaign Crawl
I have a site with 8036 pages in my sitemap index. But the MozBot only Crawled 2169 pages. It's been several months and each week it crawls roughly the same number of pages. Any idea why I'm not getting fully crawled?

I've got quite a few "Duplicate Page Title" Errors in my Crawl Diagnostics for my Wordpress Blog
Title says it all, is this an issue? The pages seem to be set up properly with Rel=Canonical so should i just ignore the duplicate page title erros in my Crawl Diagnostics dashboard? Thanks

Drop in number of Pages crawled by Moz crawler
What would cause a sudden drop in the number of pages crawled/accessed by the Moz crawler? The site has about 600 pages of content. We have multiple campaigns set up in our Pro account to track different keyword campaigns- but all for the same domain. Some show 600+ pages accessed, while others only access 7 pages for the same domain. What could be causing these issues?

Links listed in MozPro Crawl Diagnostics
Ok, seeing as I'm getting to the end of my first week as a Pro Member, I'm getting more and more feedback regarding the pages on my site. I'm slightly concerned though that, having logged in this morning, I'm being shown 407 warnings for pages with 'Too Many On Page Links.' According to the blurb at the top of the page, 'Too Many' is generally defined as being over 100 links on a page ... but when I look at the pages which are being thrown up in the report, none of them contain anywhere near 100 links. I seriously doubt there is a glitch with the tool which has led me to think that maybe there's an issue with the way my site is coded. Is anyone aware of a coding problem that may lead Google and SEOMoz to suspect that I have a load of links across my site? P.S. As an aside, when this tool mentions 'Too Many Links' is it referring purely to OBL or does it count links to elsewhere on my domain too? Cheers,
