How long does a crawl take?

[Brian_Worger]

A crawl of my site started on the 8th July & is still going on - is there something wrong???

As the others suggested, there are too many factors involved. The major factors are the size of your site and it's navigation. Sometimes a site will offer a calendar that provides 3 years of dates. If the navigation is not set up properly a crawler can get lost in the calendar. Every day on a calendar can offer daily view, weekly view, monthly view, birthdays, etc. Calendar issues are just one example of how a crawler can get "stuck" on a website.

How long is a piece of string? If you website has 10 pages it will be quick if more, longer. It can take up to 7 days. Mine was started 2 days ago and is now complete for one of my campaigns. hope this helps.

Hi,

My crawl said it would take ~1 day in the campaign manager, but it actually took around 7 days.  I think you have to be patient and wait!  If you are unsure, no harm in emailing support in my opinion.

It's probably inaccurate because it's largely dependant on how much content you have as well as other factors.
