My crawl report only shows 1 link
-
Hello, I've tried a crawl for the site www.doctify.co.uk and it's only returned 1 link in the report which is the homepage. Do you know what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Nina

Hi,
I don't want to insult you with to basic of an explanation so please tell me if this isn't what you mean and im over simplifying it.
Find a link on your website,
right click it and click on inspect element, this will bring up a developer panel at the bottom of your browser (its different for each browser, but there are all similar.) It will have the code that makes the link highlighted amongst the rest of the code that makes up the page.
For instance the "The Mission" link in your footer has this code
The mission<a ="" link="" tag<br="">href=""> = the URL parameter where the link should follow</a> = closing the tag where the link stops
Best SEO practice is
The missionYou should then take this 1 step further for best SEO and include a title parameter for the link which would look like this
The missionEdit: Can't spell

Hi again! I was wondering if you could tell me how you checked the link format on our site?
Many thanks,
Nina

Thank you ATP! But I think your response was very good! I think for now the important thing is that the pages are in fact indexed by google which is important but there seems to be an issue with the #! as you have also mentioned. Reading up on the link shared by Dirk about AJAX crawlability the #! in the URL's seem to also be the issue. The solution on there is Javascript function that's part of 'HTML5 History API' called window.history.pushState(). I think I will recommend this to the developers...

I think dirk covered it and i was way off Ignore this response

Thank you very much for the quick response Dirk.
Best,

All the links are in javascript - and Mozbot doesn't crawl javascript (Google does however). Try visiting your site with javascript disabled - all you see is a blank page.
There is a similar question herethat may be can help you finding a solution - try also this post on AJAX & crawlability
Hope this helps
Dirk

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

Moz Crawler Causing Server Timeouts... Crawling thousands of non-existant pages with query parameters
Moz crawler is crawling all pages like this: http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_orderby=date http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&paged=1 http://www.xxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_view=grid Last month it crawled 80,000 pages on a site with less than 100 pages. Is there a way to select only certain pages to be crawled? Right now it is still crawling this site, since Monday morning and it's Tuesday mid-day. Every Monday it is causing time-outs from high band width on our server. Just getting ready to delete this client from the account unless there is a solution someone can give us. Thanks.

Moz crawl issues: All pages keep resolving to our "cookies not enabled" page
Upon running the Moz Pro site crawler, I noticed that I received quite a bit of duplicate titles along with 302 redirects (which is our site creating a temporary 302 to our "cookies not enabled" page). How would I get around the crawler being redirected to this page? I've never ran across this issue before, despite using the crawler with sites that use the same framework as the one thats affected. Any ideas?

MOZ crawl test is not reporting on all the pages on my site.
I've run the crawl test one of the sites I've taken over SEO for, however its only picking all the pages. For instance it indexes all the pages under xxxxx/us but none under xxxxx/au or xxxxx/uk The pages are being indexed as they're ranking in Google. Thanks.

Moz Crawl Test: Referrer is sitemap.gz?
Hi,
Moz Bar | | Titan552
I'm looking at a crawl test report, and I'm seeing that most of the pages have the sitemamp.gz file listed as the referrer. As I recall in my other reports the referrer is usually the root domain - unless of course there's a redirect. Does having sitemap.gz as the referrer indicate a problem? If so, what problem does it indicate? Thanks!0 -
Moz just did my weekly "crawl" and claims my meta titles and descriptions are "missing," but they aren't. What's up with this?
I can check for my titles and descriptions in the source. They are there, always have been. what in the hell?
