Crawl Test - Taking too long
-
The last crawl test I invoked seems to be in progress for over 24 hours. The one before that completed in a few hours. Wish there was a progress indicator or an option to cancel.
The crawl (from Tool > Crawl Test) should not take this long. Any ideas or suggestions?
Also, the keyword research tool (plus a few others) have been down ever since I signed up. Is this a normal?

Sorry for the long wait, I had to tell Roger that he was a bad boy/girl/thing? We have resolve the crawler issues and your reports should be updating and reporting as it should. I am very sorry that Roger caused some concerns, it said it won't do it next time.
Thank you very much for your patience

Thanks Peter for the response. Keyword tool start to work but Crawl Test is still pending, it has been over 3 days. I need it to be stopped/cancelled it so I can re-run it. Not being able to crawl and check the changes that were made on the site brings me to a stopping point.
Looking through some of the other Q/A, one of the suggestions was to stop the crawl was to stop it via robots.txt, which didn't worked. I don't think it is even doing anything but stuck in the "in progress" state.

Hey MomoMasta,
Thanks for reaching out to us! I'm sorry for the inordinate amount of time that it took for the crawl to complete (which it should be at the moment). I will have made a note on the issue so our team can take a look at it. I like that feature request (to cancel), you should definitely suggest it in features request forum at :https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests.
I am very sorry for the keyword feature being down due to the recent Google search result change. Our company has learned a lot from this last outage and will have contingency plans in next time Google releases another update. I want to thank you for your patience and hope you will continue being our friend/customer http://screencast.com/t/XaxBDAakziS

Shopify crawl issues
Hi Moz'ers, I am a total newcomer to this level of seo. Recently I transitioned to Shopify and I'm puzzled by why I'm getting 803 errors - incomplete crawl attempts due to server timing out. Wouldn't this have to do with Shopify? How would I go about fixing it? I'm also getting 804 - SSL issues, but I assume that will go away. Any advice? Thanks! Sharon

Keyword Ranking Report: does the organic traffic data take into account visitors logged into Google?
Hi there In Google Analytics, if a visitor to your website is logged into Google at the time of searching, the referral keyword is registered as 'unknown'. So, I am curious as to how the traffic data for any given keyword in my campaign is calculated? Thanks Laurie

What web page and domain analysis / error checking / testing tools do you use for competitor analysis? sites like webpagetest
Just wondering what everyone is using, I am looking to get as much insight and detail as I can on websites that are not currently being monitored by me... i.e. potential clients. I use tools like pagespeed, webpagetest, loadimpact and open site explorer, google adwords, ispionage, alexa, semrush and well, looking for more. I really just want to rip a website to the tiniest pieces possible in an organized and coherent manner... is there anything out there? I have tried several other's which i no longer use (compete, 4q, woopra, nuestar, to name a few), I am not sure if I know exactly what i want, i just want more.... damn the human condition. lol

How Would You Plan Long Term SEO (1 year and more)?
Hi, I'm new to SEO and learning fast. Myself joined together with my friends have set up a string of websites each for different products to sell online. To start with we have finalized keywords, optimized the on-page using the on-page analysis tool and right now about to start working on link building. For the first month we have planned to do around 20 bookmarking, 3 articles each to 15 article directories, 30 directory submissions (priority to niche based), business page listing in hot frog etc, 3 articles each submitted to 10 web 2.0 properties, 1 press release to 15 pres release sites, some Q&A links and few blog comments, 10 video submission and 1 guest blogging. We have also completed setting up facebook fan page and twitter account and active in them too. For anchor text diversity we will be using keywords only in links from article submission and web 2.0. For links from other methods, the anchor text will be either website name or website url. And we will be targeting 4 keywords per website (2 keywords for home page and 2 for 2 sub-pages). The difficulty level of the keywords range from 40% to 60%. Now, I have few questions which I believe the experts over here can help. 1. For the first month we have planned the above link building, but hpw build links from different websites in coming month? 2. For web 2.0 properties we can keep adding articles to the same blog we have created or we need to create separate set of web 2.0 properties for each month. 3. Are we missing any link building methods or strategy? If so, can you please tell me the method? I know some of the questions might be silly, but being a beginner it would be a great help to know the answer for these questions from this community. Thanks, Sridhar

How long do old links stay in Open SIte Explorer stats?
Hi, In Open Site Explorer has around 2000 External followed links which would be great if it was true. I think the issue is that before my site wasn't appending slashes to the url so I think it was counting links from http://mydomain/page1 to http://mydomain/page2/ as an external link (could be wrong here). I corrected this a couple of months ago but I still seem to have over 2000 External links. When I look at the linking pages many of them are "sans slash" and have old anchor text in the link. How long does it take of OSE to update these stale links it there any way I can prompt it to take aciton?
