Can we add sites to the crawl queue for OSE?

Is it possible to request that Open Site Explorer crawls a new URL on its next run?
This tool is the first place I go to when working on a new site, and when there is "No Data Available" this is a little frustrating.
I fully appreciate that this lack of data is usually a signal that the website is either very new or of low quality, however that if often the reason that I am brought in and would very much like to benchmark and provide initial analysis using this tool.
It would make sense that OSE crawls the sites that Moz members are working on wouldnt it?

Hi Scott,
Derek and Brad are correct in that there's no real way to tell Roger to index a specific page.
Your best bet to get your page index in OSE is to work at building quality backlinks and making sure your site is configured properly so we can reach your pages.
Also remember you can set up your campaign for your site and crawl it that way if you want to evaluate the rest of your page information.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
You "ask it what it knows" when you type in a URL and hit Search. Think of it like walking up to a really smart person and asking them to list off every book every written that includes the word "rhinoceros." They can only list the books they've read. A person only has so much time for reading, and OSE only has so many resources for crawling the web. It will never get everything.
If OSE doesn't show any backlinks for a URL, it means it didn't see any backlinks in the portion of the web that it crawled. That might mean there are no backlinks at all, or it might mean the backlinks are yet undiscovered (probably because they're in an obscure corner of the web). The best suggestion is to use multiple tools, as Derek says below.

SeoMoz members have no control over what Mozbot crawls. Your best bet is to use a variety of site explorers to find links. Ex. Majestic, Google Webmaster tools, Link:www.example.com, Bing Link Explorer

Yes I know what you mean here, but if there is any way to "point" the crawl engine at the site and ask it what it knows?
I hadnt thought about it from that perspective, just asking the question to see what is possible to try and get more data if it can be got?!

As far as I know, crawling your website wouldn't accomplish anything. OSE would need to crawl the pages that link to your website. And if you knew what those were, you wouldn't need OSE, right?

How you can manipulate your MOZ DA
I have become frustrated at MOZ in the last few months, none of my backlinks have made it into the index. Old back links. Long story short, I figured out the issue and I figured out how anyone can manipulate their DA. I wrote a blog post about it here, http://blog.dh42.com/manipulate-moz/

404 : Errors in crawl report - all pages are listed with index.html on a WordPress site
Hi Mozers, I have recently submitted a website using moz, which has pulled up a second version of every page on the WordPress site as a 404 error with index.html at the end of the URL. e.g Live page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/ Report page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/index.html The permalink structure is set as /%postname%/ For some reason the report has listed every page with index.html at the end of the page URL. I have tried a number of redirects in the .htaccess file but doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions will be strongly appreciated. Thanks

Have a Campaign, but only states 1 page has been crawled by SEOmoz bots. What needs to be done to have all the pages crawled?
We have a campaign running for a client in SEOmoz and only 1 page has been crawled per SEOmoz' data. There are many pages in the site and a new blog with more and more articles posted each month, yet Moz is not crawling anything, aside from maybe the Home page. The odd thing is, Moz is reporting more data on all the other inner pages though for errors, duplicate content, etc... What should we do so all the pages get crawled by Moz? I don't want to delete and start over as we followed all the steps properly when setting up. Thank you for any tips here.

Why is my domain not being crawled anymore?
I just noticed that right around 12/1/2012, SEOMoz stopped crawling all but two pages out of the 400 or so on my website at www.TrustworthyCare.com . I speculate that this is probably due to some dumb mistake I made at that time, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that mistake was. Before that, the weekly crawls included all 400 or so pages. I wonder whether it's something that changed in our .htaccess file. Here's how that file looks now; can anyone see what is wrong there, or perhaps offer other suggestions if it doesn't look like anything is wrong in it? Thanks!

I'm seeing duplicate links listed in open site explorer. Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
For each link listed in Open Site Explorer, I am seeing two identical entries. You can see why this might be a problem for both workflow and data accuracy. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there a setting or filter that I'm missing?

Can you set-up a manual SEOmoz crawl?
I received a crawl report yesterday, made some site changes, and would like to see if those changes were done correctly. Rather than wait a week for my automatic crawl to be generated, is there anyway to initiate a manual crawl on a single subdomain as a PRO member? As a PRO member, you can schedule crawls for 2 subdomains every 24 hours, and you'll get up to 3,000 pages crawled per subdomain. When we've finished crawling, your reports will be sent to your PRO email address, which is currently From here... http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test
