      I'd like to crawl our ecommerce site to see how deep (clicks from home page) pages are. I want to verify that every category, sub-category, and product detail page is within three clicks of the home page for googlebot.

      Suggestions?

      Thanks!

        How it works:

        After crawling a website with Screaming Frog, export the data into one of the three available file formats (.csv, .xls, or .xlsx).
        Copy all of the data from the Screaming Frog worksheet (starting in cell A4) into cell A2 of the ‘data’ sheet of this analysis workbook.

        • The easiest way to copy all the data is to click cell A4, the use Ctrl + Shift + RIGHT to select all columns of data.
        • Then Ctrl + Shift + DOWN to select all rows of data.
        • Then use Ctrl + C to copy the selected cells.
        • Go to the data sheet of this workbook and Ctrl + V to paste that data into cell A2.
        • Pasting the data into cell A2 will align all the data with the column headers I already have in row 1.

        If this data does not align properly, then there is an added or missing column of data which you will need to adjust for in the ‘data’ spreadsheet.

        Report tab

        The reporting tab is set up to make customizing this report for each website as easy as possible.

        Hope it helps you.

          Screaming Frog is my go-to crawler.  One of the many data points it provides is page level. Level 0 is home page, level 1 is one-click from the start, etc...

          It's an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to check on a vast range of crawl efficiency and SEO factors.

            Why Do Different Tools Report 404s Differently?

            Hi Mozers, How come Moz reports just six 404 errors, whereas Google Search Console reports 250 and Screaming Frog only reports a dozen? It seems to me that these results are all over the place. Shouldn't these reports be more consistent? I do understand that Search Console includes historical data and that URLs or issues need to be "marked as fixed" in order for them to go away, however, even if I do this, Google ends up reporting far more errors than anything else. Do 404s reported by Moz and Screaming Frog NOT include external links? It seems to me that this could be partially responsible for the issue. Also, is there a way to efficiently track the source of the 404s besides clicking on "Linked From" within Search Console 250 times? I was looking for something like this is Moz or SF but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanksabunch!

            Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?

            (Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm
            http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Cap-Screws-s/331.htm

            How to remove 404 pages wordpress

            I used the crawl tool and it return a 404 error for several pages that I no longer have published in Wordpress. They must still be on the server somewhere? Do you know how to remove them? I think they are not a file on the server like an html file since Wordpress uses databases? I figure that getting rid of the 404 errors will improve SEO is this correct? Thanks, David

            I heard from a company that is trying to get my clients SEO business that they discovered multiple sites mirroring our site's content. Does SEOmoz have a tool to find these websites? Or does Google?

            Is there a tool to upload multiple URLs and gather statistics and page rank?

            I was wondering if there is a tool out there where you can compile a list of URL resources, upload them in a CSV and run a report to gather and index each individual page. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this or do we need to create one?

            How to check Page Authority in bulk?

            Hey guys, I'm on the free trial for SEOmoz PRO and I'm in love. One question, though. I've been looking all over the internet for a way to check Page Authority in bulk. Is there a way to do this? Would I need the SEOmoz API? And what is the charge? All I really need is a way to check Page Authority in bulk--no extra bells and whistles. Thanks, Brandon
