Firefox Add-On for crawl frequency??
-
Hi all,
a short one: is there a firefox add-on available, which lets you see the crawl frequency of your page(s)? Would be interesting to see if google bot comes around more lately...
There are some statistics in the webmaster tools, but I don't find them very attractive
I know there is something for Wordpress, but we don't use it...
I don't to put up an excel-sheet and check the cache-version for myself. And I would love to see how deep the crawler gets and which sites do not get crawled...
So, any existing add-ons or tools that are for free??
Thanx....

Hi,
Your best bet is Web master Tools or any other server side tool like the ones available for Word Press like you've mention. Depending on your server (unix or microsoft based) and/or your platform for the backend you can install / add additional features to get more info for this - google bot visits / crawl rates and formats.
There are no fireFox addons since the browser dosen't have access to your site / server in order to see when google bot is visiting what pages and how is it performing - as that 's a behind the scene type of process.
If you have access to your server you might try newrelic.com  (I am not affiliate in any way with them - I just love the tool). However there are several others in the same spectrum that will give you more then the Google bot stats and data.
Hope it helps.

Internal link is creating duplicate content issues and generating 404s from website crawl.
Not sure what the best way to describe it but the site is built with Elementor page builder. We are finding out that a feature that is included with a pop modal window renders an HTML code as so: Click So when crawled I think the crawling is linking itself for some reason so the crawl returns something like this: xyz.com/builder/listing/ - what we want what we don't want xyz.com/builder/listing/ xyz.com/builder/listing/%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9/ xyz.com/builder/listing/%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9//%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9/ so you'll notice how that string in the HREF is appended each time and it loops a couple times. Could I 301 this issue, what's the best way to go about handling something like this? It's causing duplicate meta descriptions/content errors for some listing pages we have. I did add a rel='nofollow' to the anchor tag with JavaScript but not sure if that'll help.

Google Webmaster tools vs SeoMOZ Crawl Diagnostics
Hi Guys I was just looking over my weekly report and crawl diagnostics. What I've noticed is that the data gathered on SeoMoz is different from Google Webmaster diagnostics. The number of errors, in particular duplicate page titles, content and pages not found is much higher that what google webmaster tools is represents. I'm a bit confused and don't know which data is more accurate. Please Help

Crawl Tool Producing Random URL's
For some reason SEOmoz's crawl tool is returning duplicate content URL's that don't exist on my website. Â It is returning pages like "mydomain.com/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pricing" Â Nothing like that exists as a URL on my website. Â Has anyone experienced something similar to this, know what's causing it, or know how I can fix it?
