Shopify crawl issues
-
Hi Moz'ers,
I am a total newcomer to this level of seo. Recently I transitioned to Shopify and I'm puzzled by why I'm getting 803 errors - incomplete crawl attempts due to server timing out.
Wouldn't this have to do with Shopify? How would I go about fixing it? I'm also getting 804 - SSL issues, but I assume that will go away.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Hello,
We are looking into this same issue with Shopify, we've recieved intermittent 803 and 804 error notifications from Moz on a Shopify store. Specific to these errors Shopify put forward a possible cause and we were wondering if this is correct or not. The thread on Shopify is located here:
https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-marketing/t/crawl-errors-337539#comment-351993
Their suggestion on what the issue may be is as follows:
"I've been having a read through of this thread and one possibility for the 803 errors showing up on MOZ is that they may not be able to use SNI (Server Name Indication extension). If they don't use SNI then it would make sense that Shopify stores with an SSL certificate would pull up errors like that. We can't help troubleshoot MOZ's service directly, but that could be a good place to start with some of these errors."
Would you be able to offer any feedback on this being the cause of the errors?
Thanks!

Hi Marcus,
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
I understand more about the errors, and will be more informed when I speak with Shopify. I don't have any way of checking this myself & it is above my pay grade, anyway.
I noticed this was a topic on the Shopify forum discussion groups. The discussion didn't last too long which leads me to believe either:
1. people give up, or
2. it ends up resolved.We'll see. In any event, thank you for taking the time to respond. I have just started using MOZ and I'm very impressed with this community!
Fetch Joy!

Why did Moz crawl our development site?
In our Moz Pro account we have one campaign set up to track our main domain. This week Moz threw up around 400 new crawl errors, 99% of which were meta noindex issues. What happened was that somehow Moz found the development/staging site and decided to crawl that. I have no idea how it was able to do this - the robots.txt is set to disallow all and there is password protection on the site. It looks like Moz ignored the robots.txt, but I still don't have any idea how it was able to do a crawl - it should have received a 401 Forbidden and not gone any further. How do I a) clean this up without going through and manually ignoring each issue, and b) stop this from happening again? Thanks!

Why does Crawl Diagnostics report this as duplicate content?
Hi guys, we've been addressing a duplicate content problem on our site over the past few weeks. Lately, we've implemented rel canonical tags in various parts of our ecommerce store, over time, and observing the effects by both tracking changes in SEOMoz and Websmater tools. Although our duplicate content errors are definitely decreasing, I can't help but wonder why some URLs are still being flagged with duplicate content by our SEOmoz crawler. Here's an example, taken directly from our Crawl Diagnostics Report: URL with 4 Duplicate Content errors:
Moz Pro | | yacpro13
/safety-lights.html Duplicate content URLs:
/safety-lights.html ?cat=78&price=-100
/safety-lights.html?cat=78&dir=desc&order=position /safety-lights.html?cat=78 /safety-lights.html?manufacturer=514 What I don't understand, is all of the URLS with URL parameters have a rel canonical tag pointing to the 'real' URL
/safety-lights.html So why is SEOMoz crawler still flagging this as duplicate content?0 -

Has anyone else not had an SEOmoz crawl since Dec 22?
Before the holidays, I completed a website redesign on an eCommerce website. One of the reasons for this was duplicate content. The new design has removed all duplicate content. (Product descriptions on 2 pages) I took a look at my Crawl Diagnostics Summary this morning and this is what I saw: Last Crawl Completed: Dec. 15th, 2011 Next Crawl Starts: Dec. 22nd, 2011 Thinking it might have something to do with the holidays. Although, I would like to see this data as soon as possible. Is there a way I can request a crawl from seomoz ? Thanks, John Parker

Dynamic URL pages in Crawl Diagnostics
The crawl diagnostic has found errors for pages that do not exist within the site. These pages do not appear in the SERPs and are seemingly dynamic URL pages. Most of the URLs that appear are formatted http://mysite.com/keyword,%20_keyword_,%20key_word_/ which appear as dynamic URLs for potential search phrases within the site. The other popular variety among these pages have a URL format of http://mysite.com/tag/keyword/filename.xml?sort=filter which are only generated by a filter utility on the site. These pages comprise about 90% of 401 errors, duplicate page content/title, overly-dynamic URL, missing meta decription tag, etc. Many of the same pages appear for multiple errors/warnings/notices categories. So, why are these pages being received into the crawl test? and how to I stop it to gauge for a better analysis of my site via SEOmoz?

SEOMoz Pro still hasn't crawled 10k pages for one campaign
I looked for a question in the forum already for this but couldn't find anything. Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I recently signed up with SEOMoz Pro and added two campaigns. For one campaign, 10,000 pages were crawled. For the other campaign, only about 300. It's been 2 weeks since I created the campaigns. Is there a way to force a crawl of the site associated with the second campaign?
