5XX (Server Error) on all urls
-
Hi
I created a couple of new campaigns a few days back and waited for the initial crawl to be completed. I have just checked and both are reporting 5XX (Server Error) on all the pages it tried to look at (one site I have 110 of these and the other it only crawled the homepage). This is very odd, I have checked both sites on my local pc, alternative pc and via my windows vps browser which is located in the US (I am in UK) and it all works fine.
Any idea what could be the cause of this failure to crawl? I have pasted a few examples from the report

500 : TimeoutError

http://everythingforthegirl.co.uk/index.php/accessories/bags.html 500 1 0 500 : Error
http://everythingforthegirl.co.uk/index.php/accessories/gloves.html 500 1 0 500 : Error
http://everythingforthegirl.co.uk/index.php/accessories/purses.html 500 1 0 500 : TimeoutError
http://everythingforthegirl.co.uk/index.php/accessories/sunglasses.html | 500 | 1 | 0 |
Am extra puzzled why the messages say time out. The server dedicated is 8 core with 32 gb of ram, the pages ping for me in about 1.2 seconds. What is the rogerbot crawler timeout?
Many thanks

You're absolutely correct, hopefully this answered your question!

Thanks, will check out that plugin. So, in other words, the pages are loading fine for the user but sending out an error to the bots instead of the loaded ok message. That doesn't sound good!!
On the plus side, at least it has stopped Roger noticing some of the pages have up to 600 links on them because of all the retailer and manufacturer filtering options!!
Many thanks, Carl

Hi Carl,
You're a lucky man (sarcastic), your paging are loading just normally but are indeed giving the wrong status code: 500 for me. This is probably caused by some of the settings in Magento or you server as the normal status code for working pages should be a 200 OK.
That's probably also why Rogerbot didn't timeout on the pages but got a 500 while the pages were working. Good luck fixxing this!
Btw, I highly recommend using the Redirect Plugin for Chrome by Ayima.

Can someone explain why I have been seeing an increase in the number of Linking Page URLs in OSE that link directly to downloads?
Ever since the last couple Linkscape updates when doing competitive back link analysis I have noticed a large increase in the number of URLs of Linking Pages in OSE that result in an immediate file download. The majority of the time these downloads are not common files ie PDF, DOC files. For example, these were all in a competitors back link profile: http://download.unesp.br/linux/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp-relay-dbg_4.1.1-P1-17_ia64.deb http://snow.fmi.fi/data/20090210_eurasia_sd_025grid.mat http://www.rose-hulman.edu/class/me/HTML/ES204_0708_S/working model examples/Le25 mad hatter.wm?a=p&id=145880&g=5&p=sia&date=iso&o=ajgrep These are just a few I came across for a single competitor. Is this sketchy black hat SEO, some sort of error, actual links, or something else? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Thank you.

How to handle crawl diagnostic errors for the same url. /products & /products/
I have copied on of the errors out of the crawl diagnostics report. Both /products and /products/ are returning an error, and both have pretty good domain authority so I feel like its hurting my site that these show up this way. Both urls create the same page, should I just setup a 301 on the /products with no slash or will that cause more harm... I am using the MODx cms system and that could have something to do with it. | Products | Datalight http://www.datalight.com/products 1 37 5 Products | Datalight http://www.datalight.com/products/ | 1 | 30 | 1 |

Company Name in Page Title creating thousands of "Duplicate Page Title" errors
I am new, and I just got back my crawl results (after a week or more). The first thing I noticed is that the "duplicate page title" is in the thousands, my urls and page titles are different. The only thing I can see is that our company name is at appended to the name of every title. I did search and found one other person with this problem, but no answer was given. Can anyone offer some advice? This doesn't seem right... Thanks,
