Why would only 1 pg of an 18 pg site be crawled?
-
I signed up yesterday. Added 4 sites. The one I really need data on now has only had 1 page crawled. The other sites have had almost all pages crawled (over 40 each) in one day.
What is wrong?
The main domain has a 301 redirect to another domain name is that the problem?
Is there something wrong at Google analytics? I dont manage this site and I'm picking up behind another firm..where should I start my discovery?
Thanks so much!

Here are some common reasons why only one page may be crawled in your SEOmoz campaign. Let us know if one of these isn't the cause and we'll dig deeper!
-
What's the URL? or URLs of the main domain redirected and the domain you are expecting to get indexed?
-
I will check the nofollow, but I'm feeling like it is the 301 redirect from one top-level domain to another. The target domain has NO link juice at all and it has been live for about 6 months. Its possible the redirect site has not been seen by Moz, but its been on the web for the exact same time as the referrer domain.
-
One day is not a long time but look at the code on the site if you suspect something is wrong.Check out your meta robots tag and make sure you're not noindexing or nofollowing. Check your robots.txt file to make sure you're not blocking.
Or you can run this http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ sitemap generator and see if the are crawling your pages or bailing on the first page. If they are crawling your site Google most likely is unless you are specifically disallowing Googlebot which I doubt.

Unsolved Why does Moz Crawler start with HTTP//1.1 version??
We have run Moz Pro's Site Crawl for example-domain.com Why has Moz's crawler decided to site http://www.example-domain.com (ie the non-secure version) as zero crawl depth page and report the actually live https://www.example-domain.com (ie secure HTTP2 version) as a crawl depth of 2? Surely the main live page should be the first crawled and reported as crawl depth = 0?

How do YOU use site explorer?
I normally use open site explorer to identify links that competitors of my clients have and sometimes this gives me what I call 'some low hanging fruit' to go after. (and of course links that are more challenging to get) I don't know why this didn't occur to me sooner. If my client is a chiropractor why not look at the links for 50 or 100 of the top rankings chiropractic sites all over the US? This would HAVE to uncover a wealth of blogs to comment on that have good authority, great industry associations, publications, forums - a whole wealth of items. It made me wonder how many people use site explorer like I have been (top 3-4 competitors that your client has) or identifying links pointing to LOTS of competitors? How do you use it? Couldn't you almost base an entire link building campaign using OSE? Why would this be a bad idea if not? Just some random thoughts. THE WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE - Have a great day everybody! 🙂

Crawl Errors from URL Parameter
Hello, I am having this issue within SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnosis report. There are a lot of crawl errors happening with pages associated with /login. I will see site.com/login?r=http://.... and have several duplicate content issues associated with those urls. Seeing this, I checked WMT to see if the Google crawler was showing this error as well. It wasn't. So what I ended doing was going to the robots.txt and disallowing rogerbot. It looks like this: User-agent: rogerbot Disallow:/login However, SEOmoz has crawled again and it still picking up on those URLs. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

Settings to crawl entire site
Not sure what happened but I started a third campaign yesterday and only 1 pages was crawled, The other two campaigns has 472 and 10K respectively. What is the proper setting to choose in the beginning of campaign setup to have the entire site crawled. Not sure what I did different and I must be reading the instructions incorrectly. Thanks, Don

Wild fluctuation in number of pages crawled
I am seeing huge fluctuations in the number of pages discovered the crawl each week. Some weeks the crawl discovers > 10,000 pages and other weeks I am seeing 4-500. So, this week for example I was hoping to see some changes reflected for warnings from last weeks report (which discovered > 10,000 pages). However, the entire crawl this week was 448 pages. The number of pages discovered each week seems to go back and forth between these two extremes. The more accurate count would be nearer the 10,000 mark than the 400 range. Thanks. Mark

Sub-domain not crawled
One of our sites was recently re-designed. The home page is a landing page (www.labadieauto.com) and I moved the blog to this domain (labadieauto.com/blog/) and put a link is the bottom left of the home page. Since the change the SEOMOZ campaign overview is showing only 1 page crawled. This is not setup as a sub-domain so why isn't it showing in the crawl? Help!
