Why does Moz only seem to be crawling a snap shot of the site I am working with?
-
I was wondering if anyone can help? I am working using Moz to help improve the SEO on a website I am working with, the website contains thousands of pages, yet for some reason Moz only seems to be crawling a small snap shot of the website.
I know there are particular pages that I had added a couple of weeks ago - about 300 in total - and none of these were showing on the first crawl, so I did another on-demand crawl and some of these showed up then. Despite this, it says it crawled 700ish pages, but there are getting close to 20-30ish thousand live pages on the site.
Any thoughts and guidance as to why they crawling may be stopping?

Hi there,
many thanks for your message. The site is an e-commerce website which currently has just short of 8000 products (each on their own page). These pages are all presented in categories to be able to click on, therefore I would imagine that this is all set up with internal links based on that.
There are numerous products showing, but only 700 pages are coming up in Moz. its weird, because I was expecting some duplication errors on a range that I added, yet these aren't showing in the crawl - but they are definitely there on the site, and under several categories that have links to the categories.
I'm a little stumped at why it doesn't seem to be crawling the full site.

Hi there,
Are you internally linking to all these pages that you want Moz to discover? It is possible that those pages are orphaned and they do not have any internal links pointing to them, so Moz cannot crawl them.
