Huge spike in crawl errors today - mozbot ignoring noindex tag?
-
Hi Mozzers,
Today I received a ton of errors and warnings in my weekly crawl due to the mozbot crawling my noindex'd search results pages, such as this - http://www.consumerbase.com/Mailing-Lists.html?q=Construction&type=bus&channel=all&page=7&order=title&orderBy=DESC See image: http://screencast.com/t/qaZzq78j2Udx
Anyone else seen a similar error this week with their crawl?
Thanks!

Great to hear!

After the last crawl, everything returned to normal and all the errors disappeared. Roger must have just had a hiccup.

Don't forget that Rogerbot is a crawler and not an Index. Google will crawl those pages too but will (generally) follow your instructions to noindex those pages.
Here is a little information on Rogerbot http://moz.com/help/pro/rogerbot-crawler
And here is a little information on the frequently asked questions for th diagnostics report http://moz.com/help/pro/crawl-diagnostics
Hope this helps.
Darin.

If links have been disavowed, do they still show in crawl reports?
I have a new client who says they have disavowed all their bad links, but I still see a bunch of spammy backlinks in my external links report. I understand that disavow does not mean links are actually removed so will they continue to show in Google Webmaster Tools and in my Moz reports? If so, how do I know which ones have been disavowed and which have not? Regards, Dino

HTML5 multiple h1 tags
When I run the On-Page Report Card it tells me that I should remove the multiple instances of H1 tags, even though the website is built using HTML5 and has hierarchical structure where each section / article has its own H1 tag. This approach is completely legal with HTML5 and I'm just wondering what impact does it have on SEO and whether the On-Page Report Card recognises the HTML5 and processes it accordingly.

Will canonical tag get rid of duplicate page title errors?
I have a directory on my website, paginated in groups of 10. On page 2 of the results, the title tag is the same as the first page, as it is on the 3rd page and so on. This is giving me duplicate page title errors. If i use rel=canonical tags on the subsequent pages and href the first page of my results, will my duplicate page title warnings go away? thanks.

Campaign Not Crawling
I set up my first 5 campaigns and one is not crawling beyond one-page. It's been over 48 hours. This site has nearly 3.500 pages the others much less, however, this shouldn't make any difference. I searched for the problem and couldn't find it so I hope this question isn't redundant. Comments and advice would be appreciated.
