Why just 1 Page has been crawled till date?
-
We have started SEO for our nestle-family.com/english/ site.
However, till date only just 1 page has been crawled. What are the reason for the pages not being crawled?

Hi Francis,
I hope you've had more than one page crawled by now. If not, check out the help desk article about what to do if only one page is being crawled. http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page.
If that doesn't fix things, it's time to email the help desk at help@seomoz.org.

Francis,
The SEOMoz crawler which is indexing your site operates differently than that of what Google, Yahoo and Bing's. Though the SEOMoz tools are extremely useful, you may find more comprehensive results in your Google Webmaster Tools account. To see how many pages google is including from your site, I highly recommend submitting an XML sitemap to Google, Yahoo and Bing. Then, once they have it, you'll be able to see, withing the sitemap area(s) how many pages the engines are including in their index.
This doesn't give you any meaningful data in regards to rankings though. For that, you can use either the SEOMoz ranking check tool and Your site on the area within Google Webmaster tools (left side) that is nested in the following links.
Your site on the web> Search queries
Note that my suggestion of uploading a sitemap is purely based on seeing how many pages are indexed and doesn't consider any SEO strategies such as letting google find you on their own. Which may be better depending on who you ask! For me, I'd upload the sitemap because your incoming links and social media marketing should theoretically have the same effect on your rankings as it would with or without an XML sitemap.

Thanks Randy. I see the results as 9 for the domain. However, I had entered this URL in SEO Moz, to track and evaluate the performance. But, here it shows that just 1 page is crawled till date. Why would this be the case?

I'm getting 9 results for the domain! Try this in your Google search box to see. If you do not get the same results, you might be and probably are in a different location than me. When you use the below query (And anytime you're spot checking rankings) sign out of accounts associated with the engine you're checking. Also, the below query is for google.

Just validating a theory I have about why Google is Soft 404ing some of my doctor pages.
As of June 1 doctor pages on our website that say "No ratings are available yet" are being Soft 404ed in our Google Console. We suspect the issue is that wording, due to this post. https://www.contentkingapp.com/academy/index-coverage/faq/submitted-soft-404/ Just wondering if anyone with more expertise than me on 404s or local seo can validate that it is likely this issue. Some examples:

On-Page Problem
Hello Mozzers, A friend has a business website and the on-page stuff is done really bad. He wants to rank for: conference room furnishing, video conference, digital signage. (Don't worry about the keywords, it's just made up for an example.) For these three services he has a page: hiswebsite.com/av AV stands for audio and video and is the h1. If you click on one of the service, the url doesn't change. Like if you click on video conference, just the text changes, the url stays /av. All his targeted pages got an F Grade, I am not surprised, the services titles are in . Wouldn't it be a lot better to make an own page for every service with a targeted keyword, like hiswebsite.com/video-conference All this stuff is on /av, how will a 301 resirect work to all the service pages, does this make sense? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Log files vs. GWT: major discrepancy in number of pages crawled
Following up on this post, I did a pretty deep dive on our log files using Web Log Explorer. Several things have come to light, but one of the issues I've spotted is the vast difference between the number of pages crawled by the Googlebot according to our log files versus the number of pages indexed in GWT. Consider: Number of pages crawled per log files: 2993 Crawl frequency (i.e. number of times those pages were crawled): 61438 Number of pages indexed by GWT: 17,182,818 (yes, that's right - more than 17 million pages) We have a bunch of XML sitemaps (around 350) that are linked on the main sitemap.xml page; these pages have been crawled fairly frequently, and I think this is where a lot of links have been indexed. Even so, would that explain why we have relatively few pages crawled according to the logs but so many more indexed by Google?

Page has Noindex, nofollow, still ranks #1
Hi there, I have a question about a few pages on our site, whom has a no index, nofollow meta tag but they are still indexed and even rank number one in our market for the term. How is that possible or is it that Google just ignores the tags when they think it´s an error from our side? The url is www.drogisterij.net/kilo_killer and the keyword is kilo killer. We rank number 1 if you search from Google.nl Anyone have seen it before and know why this might be? Thanks in advance.

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

How to increase the crawl rate?
hello, Our site was hosted in North America and Google was crawling it reasonably fast. Since our traffic is mostly from India we moved it to India, now the crawling is terribly slow from Google. Is there anyway to fix the crawl rate(we have increased the crawl rate in GWT)

Is this 404 page indexed?
I have a URL that when searched for shows up in the Google index as the first result but does not have any title or description attached to it. When you click on the link it goes to a 404 page. Is it simply that Google is removing it from the index and is in some sort of transitional phase or could there be another reason.

Crawling image folders / crawl allowance
We recently removed /img and /imgp from our robots.txt file thus allowing googlebot to crawl our image folders. Not sure why we had these blocked in the first place, but we opened them up in response to an email from Google Product Search about not being able to crawl images - which can/has hurt our traffic from Google Shopping. My question is: will allowing Google to crawl our image files eat up our 'crawl allowance'? We wouldn't want Google to not crawl/index certain pages, and ding our organic traffic, because more of our allotted crawl bandwidth is getting chewed up crawling image files. Outside of the non-detailed crawl stat graphs from Webmaster Tools, what's the best way to check how frequently/ deeply our site is getting crawled? Thanks all!
