SEOmoz crawler not crawling my site
-
We set up a new campaign in SEOmoz on Friday. It is my understanding that the preliminary crawl can cover up to 250 and this has been our experience in the past. However, the preliminary crawl only went through 2 pages. This is a larger eCommerce site with many pages. Any ideas why more pages weren't crawled?
We set up the campaign to track at the root domain level.

Thanks, Ruth. I see what you're saying about the crawl now. I'll go ahead and reach out the help team. Hopefully we can figure it out!

So that's really what I meant was "as long as you're seeing the full crawl," was that if your next crawl found the whole site it would probably be fine. It sounds like that's not the case, so I think the Help Team is your best bet - they're far more able to diagnose campaign-specific issues than I am

Thanks for the reply Ruth!
I was a little unclear as to part of your response. What were you referring to when you said "as long as you continue seeing the full crawl, you should be good to go"?
Where should I be seeing the full crawl? When I look at the Crawl Diagnostic Summary, it notes that the last crawl was on May 10, 2013 (the day we set up the campaign) and the next crawl is to start May 18, 2013. I received email notification that SEOmoz was successfully recrawled it May 11, 2013. Similar to the May 10 crawl, the May 11 crawl only went through 2 pages.
I also checked up on our robots.txt and tags. There isn't blocking anything the crawler on that front.

Hmm! Well, it could be a couple of things.
If your full crawl ends up crawling the whole site, it's possible that the preliminary crawl timed out on a request to your site. As long as you continue seeing the full crawl, you should be good to go.
If your next crawl continues showing just a few pages, I would check to make sure you're not blocking robots with either the meta robots tag, a robots.txt file, or nofollowed links. If you don't uncover anything out of the ordinary there, it could be an account- or campaign-specific error on our end; please email help@seomoz.org and our super-awesome Help Team can help get that fixed.

Unsolved How can I increase my site DA
Re: How can i increase DA of my website? Someone told me giving out do-follow links from my site will reduce my site DA. I am not sure if this is true, but I recently noticed a drop in my two websites DA Insigh.ng and BusinessWorld.Arica. For the first one, Insight.ng, my DA was 26 before but dropped to 22. I have later been able to boost it to 24 tho. According to the person, he said giving do-follow links from my websites will reduce my DA. I am not sure if this is true, but I will appreciate experts' inputs and opinions.

Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site.
Good morning, Yesterday, Moz gave me an error that is wasn't able to find our robots.txt file. However, this is a new occurrence, we've used Moz and its crawling ability many times prior; not sure why the error is happening now. I validated that the redirects and our robots page are operational and nothing is disallowing Roger in our robots.txt. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated. https://www.agrisupply.com/robots.txt Thank you for your time. -Danny

Why seomoz crawler does not see my snapshot?
I have a web app that uses angularJS and the content is all dynamic (SPA). I have generated snapshots for the pages and write a rule to redirect ( 301) to the snapshot in case of find escaped_fragment in the URL. E.g http://plure.com/#!/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro Request: http://plure.com/?escaped_fragment=/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro is redirected to: http://plure.com/snapshots/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro/ The snapshot is a headless page generated by PhantomJS. Even following the guideline ( https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification) I still can't see my page crawled and I also in SEOMoz I can only see the 1st page crawled with no dynamic content on it. Am I doing something wrong? SEOMoz was supposed to get the snapshot based on same rules of GoogleBot or SEOMoz does not get snapshots?
