Third crawl of my sites back to 250 pages
-
Hi all,
I've been waiting some days for the third crawl of my sites, but SEOMOZ only crawled 277 pages. The next phrase appeared on my crawl report:
Pages Crawled: 277 | Limit: 250
My last 2 crawls were of about 10K limit. Any idea?
Kind regards, Simon.

Hey Simon,
I just checked out your campaigns and everything looks good right now. We are really sorry about any inconveniences this may have caused. Let me update you on what happened and what we have done to make sure it doesn't happen in the future.
Over the weekend our server hosting provider experienced some temporary power outages that last for a few hours. When this happened some of our databases that contain user membership status went offline. When this happened our crawlers assumed that the campaigns had been archived and when the database servers came back online then the crawlers thought the campaigns had been unarchived.
In the past we have had the practice of kicking off a 250 page starter crawl when a campaign has been unarchived and then scheduling the full crawl for 7 days out. Your campaign would have received a full crawl on it's next scheduled crawl though. This is much like what happens when you first create your campaign. This isn't ideal for a few reasons though. One being a scenario like what happened over the weekend and two that it can skew your historical data by having a 250 page crawl stuck in the middle, even if archiving was intentionally done.
Moving forward we will be implementing a change to this that makes it so when you unarchive a campaign your full crawl will be scheduled and you won't receive a starter crawl. If you need more immediate crawl data then I recommend using our crawl test tool. With that tool you can receive up to 3,000 pages crawled. The only difference being it comes in the form of a csv file without the pretty web interface.
Let me know if you have any additional questions. Also, in the future if you are experiencing any issues with your service go ahead an let our support team know. If you go to seomoz.org/help you can generate a help ticket quite easily. By generating a customer support ticket our Help Team will keep you up to date on any issues with your account and work with you to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
Again, my sincere apologies for this issue with your crawl.
Have a great day!
Kenny

Hi Simon,
You're best bet would be to email the SEOmoz help team at help@seomoz.org. The usually reply pretty quickly and will you sorted much faster than posting here.
Cheers,

Why would I be ranking for a term when it's not anywhere in my page or pages linking to it?
Hi, I have a keyword that's not anywhere in my page in page-grade tool nor are any pages linking to it with that term, why would that be ranking. The term is "dynamic card solution" This is a company we used to have 5 years ago and merged with our company. This term is ranking #1 for this page- http://www.datacard.com/instant-issuance-solutions . I can't figure why that would be even as this is a newer page in the past year. Thanks for any insight as I'm newer to moz. Laura

Concerned About Individual Pages
Okay. I've setup a campaign for www.site.com and given a list of keywords. So after the initial crawl we'll have some results. What I'm looking for tho is how do individual pages on my site rank for the list of keywords given. And then be able to go to a screen in seomoz with data for that particular page with recommendations and stuff like that. Is this what's going to happen or do I need to create a campaign for each url i want to track? If all will work as I'd like in the example above, should I then add the second list of keywords that some other pages should rank for? Will it get to be a big mess or can I relate the keywords to pages in some way? It seems like what I'm looking for is what this program should be... Thanks!

No Crawl data in dashboard
For the second straight week, I have had no crawl data in my dashboard. It seems like the crawler erased all my results in the pro dashboard. Is there a way to manually recrawl my site, since I will have to wait another week to see if it comes back to earth? Thanks

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Alexa Ranking Sites
I found these two sites giving my competitor link juice: http://www.webnamelist.com/alexa/Alexa_186.html http://www.list-of-domains.org/alexa/Alexa_185.html I have seen these sites before and I just dont get why they are authoritative. The funny thing is I did a search for my competitors link on the page and its not showing up, is this a problem in site explorer? Why is site explorer mentioning these sites as my competitions best links when these links do not exist on their site?

Crawl test tool from SEOmoz - which URLs does it actually crawl?
I am using for the first time the crawl test tool from SEOmoz and I do not really understand which URLs the tool is going to crawl. First, it says "enter any subdomain" --> why can´t I do the crawl for the root domain? Second it says "we'll crawl up to 3,000 linked-to pages" --> does that mean that the tool crawls all internal links that it can find on the given domain? Thanks for your help!
