Does SEOMOZ bot not know where to look for AJAX site snapshots?

Not being web developers on the help team, I'm hesitant diving into the code and tell you what's wrong here. Running some quick searches on Google though, it does look like there may be something wrong with the site setup. I'd really recommend reviewing the article I linked to above. It's a little old but the material is still relevant.
Once everything is corrected, Roger still may not be able to read the content. The workaround presented above was to show a potential solution but it isn't a guaranteed fix since he does have issues understanding AJAX in general.

I definitely understand how frustrating this can be and wish I could do more to help. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to dive in a bit more on the technical web dev side of things.

We are already using pushstate on supported browsers via angularjs ui.router library, which is why you see clean URL on our site without #! notation...

Hi there,
This question is a bit intricate.
With AJAX content like this, I know Google's full specifications: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification indicate that the #! and ?escaped_fragment= technique works for their crawlers. However, Roger is a bit picky and isn't robust enough yet to use only the sitemap as the reference in this case. Luckily, one of our wonderful users came up with a solution using pushState() method.

I can't answer the question exactly, but I did notice that if you go to the url directly, the content displays properly but returns a 404 error. That may cause issues. It doesn't appear to be affecting Google's crawl but I could see it messing up Moz's crawler, especially because I'm fairly positive that Bing doesn't handle ajax properly.

Links between my two sites

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

In Moz Medium Pro how many pages can you track for keyword rankings at a time? I know you can track up to 50 in Standard.
I would possibly like to upgrade my subscription from Standard to Medium because I want to be able to track more pages in Rank Tracker. Unfortunately, the product descriptions do not include how many pages you can track in Rank Tracker.

How do I go about fixing my High Priority issues that SEO moz says I have on a PHP site?
I am been trying to deal with this problem for some time now. I have talked to several IT people and SEO moz. None seem to know how to fix these issues on the type of site our company is. Our biggest issue with is Duplicate Page Content. We also have some title issues. Our site is built with PHP coding and variable, meaning the site is not a typical static website. We have a handful of pages that are dynamic depending on what the users chooses to see and do. So, my problem is I can't just go to a specific page and put the canonical or the redirect. It isn't multiple pages for our category pages, for example, it is just one that builds the page depending on the search. Please help!

Ajax #! URL support?
Hi Moz, My site is currently following the convention outlined here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/174992?hl=en Basically since pages are generated via Ajax we are setup to direct bots that replace the #! in a url with ?escaped_fragment to cached versions of the ajax generated content. For example, if the bot sees this url: http://www.discoverymap.com/#!/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 it will replace it will instead access the page: http://www.discoverymap.com/?escaped_fragment=/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 In which case my server serves the cached html instead of the live page. This is all per Googles direction and is indexing fine. However the MOZ bot does not do this. It seems like a fairly straight-forward feature to support. Rather than ignoring the hash, you look to see if it is a #! and then try to spider the url replaced with ?escaped_fragment. Our server does the rest. If this is something MOZ plans on supporting in the future I would love to know. If there is other information that would be great. Also, pushstate is not practical for everyone due to limited browser support, etc. Thanks, Dustin Updates: I am editing my question because it won't let me respond to my own question. It says I need to sign up for MOZ analytics. I was signed up for Moz Analytics?! Now I am not? I responded to my invitation weeks ago? Anyway, you are misunderstanding how this process works. There is no site-map involved. The bot reads this URL on the page: http://www.discoverymap.com/#!/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 And when it is ready to spider the page for content it, it spider's this URL instead: http://www.discoverymap.com/?escaped_fragment=/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 The server does the rest, it is simply telling Roger to recognize the #! format and replace it with ?escaped_fragment Though I obviously do not know how Roger is coded but it is a simple string replacement. Thanks.

Open Site Explorer Problems
I've been checking open site explorer for months now. It doesn't show any changes in the number of root domain links to any of my pages, even though webmaster tools shows a substantial increase in root domain links for each of these urls. Open Site Explorer doesn't seem to be updating. According to Moz, my site is regularly indexed by Moz. But the numbers don't change. I've tested this on a few other sites as well with the same results. How do I get OSE to update the numbers for a particular website?
