Why are only two pages of my site being crawled by MOZ?
-
MOZ is only crawling two pages of my site even though there are links on the homepage, and the robot.txt file allows for crawling. Our site address is www.hrparts.com.
-
I had to remove subdomains from being crawled on the site, and the issue has been resolved. The 301 redirect was an issue, causing MOZ to stop crawling at only two pages, the http and https pages.

Thank you for your response, Lauren. Our site only has one major feature that is in Javascript, but the rest of the site is not. We do have a 301 redirect from hrparts.com to www.hrparts.com which is where I believe the issue might be coming from. I am curious whether MOZ has an issue with a 301 redirect in a campaign?

Hi there!
Thanks for writing in and sorry about the trouble!
I took a look at your Site Crawl results and your site, and I believe this is a result of our crawler's inability to work with Javascript. Any client side loaded content will not be rendered to our crawler as we are only seeing what is rendered by your server.
Our crawler works by parsing the source code of your site, looking at HTML elements. If your site is primarily Javascript, then the data you get back with regards to the crawl report won't be completely accurate because of this. There's no real workaround that I can recommend for this one, since it is a technical limitation of our tools, but there are some good blog posts and discussions in the Q&A about this if you head over to our Help Hub.
While the tools and data that rely on our crawl of your site may not return the best results because of that Javascript, your keyword rankings and link profile should work just fine.
You might also want to check out a few tools that are compatible with Javascript, like Botify or Screaming Frog.
https://www.onely.com/tools/wwjd/ is also a handy tool that makes it super easy to see where links are added or removed by javascript.
I'm really sorry I can't be of more help here; Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, or if there are any follow-up questions you might have!

Analytic goals in Moz
We should have the ability to see any and all conversions goals, as defined in analytics, in Moz. After all, the whole point of marketing, SEO, PPC, Social, etc. is to drive sales or leads that create sales right? So, why should we have a dashboard tool that doesn't show us the 1 thing that ultimately matters the most? I understand that Moz simply wasn't designed to do this, but I think that should change. After all, we are in this to make money I hope. My 2 Cents. Micha

Moz Analytics Reports Scheduling
Hi, We have been using Moz now for a few weeks now and we are trying to run reports based on various time frames and can't seem to do so? For example on the if we needed a report from say 17/04/2014- 30/04/2014 how would we achieve this? Or if we wanted to schedule reports based on a calendar month- how do we achieve this? I tried running reports on the 1/05/2014 and received reports for Apr 25 - May 2, 2014. Also on the DASHBAORD- the timeframe only appears to display 'WEEKLY' and the last week of the month- 23th April- 30- Apr. Or will this change once we have more historical data compiled? Thanks,

How do I pull a report to show duplicate page content including links to the pages that are duplicates?
I need to send a report to my developers including the url's which have duplicate page content. Unfortunately the Moz download report only includes the pages that are affected by duplicate page content.
