Why the number of crawled pages is so low¿?
-
Hi, my website is www.theprinterdepo.com and I have been in seomoz pro for 2 months.
When it started it crawled 10000 pages, then I modified robots.txt to disallow some specific parameters in the pages to be crawled.
We have about 3500 products, so thhe number of crawled pages should be close to that number
In the last crawl, it shows only 1700, What should I do?

Hi levelencia1,
This could have been caused by many factors. Was the robots.txt the only change you made? Other things that could have caused it could have been meta "noindex" tags, nofollow links, or broken navigation structures.
In rare instances, sometimes rogerbot has a hiccup.
Let us know if things return to normal on your next crawl. If you have any difficulties feel free to contact the help team (help@seomoz.org) and they should be able to get things straightened out.
Best of luck with your SEO!

Still don't know what you wanted to accomplish with Robots re: I modified robots.txt to disallow some specific parameters in the pages to be crawled.
Go to GWMT: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156449&from=35237&rd=1
This will allow you to determine what your robots.txt accomplished or not:
The Test robots.txt tool will show you if your robots.txt file is accidentally blocking Googlebot from a file or directory on your site, or if it's permitting Googlebot to crawl files that should not appear on the web. When you enter the text of a proposed robots.txt file, the tool reads it in the same way Googlebot does, and lists the effects of the file and any problems found.
Hope it helps you out,

Sorry, This one got lost. I will look at it in the a.m. and give you the feedback. Have you run anything like Xenu on the site? Do you know what is not showing up that would be outside of the robots.txt?

ANY IDEA?

What did you disallow?
Are there specific categories or products you know are missing?
Is there a specific sub directory(s) that is missing?
What is it you wanted to block with robots?

How can I change the page title "two" (artigos/page/2.html) in each category ?
I have some categories and photo galleries that have more than one page (i.e.: http://www.buffetdomicilio.com/category/artigos and http://www.buffetdomicilio.com/category/artigos/page/2). I think that I must change the tittle and description, but I don't how. I would like to know how can I change the title of each of them without stay with duplicate title and description. Thank you! ahcAORR.jpg

Wordpress Archive pages
In the SEOMOZ site report a number of errors were found. One of which was no or duplicate meta desctions on certain blog pages. When I drilled down to find these i noticed thosepages are the wordpress autocreated archive pages. When I searched for these through the wordpress control panel through both pages and blogs they were nowhere to be found. Does anyone know how to find these pages or are they not something I need to worry about?

New EMD update effected my mom's legit author page? From page 1 in SERP to nowhere for her name
I think my mom's site, MargaretTerry.com was hit by this update for her name "Margaret Terry". Went from bouncing around the first page on google.com and .ca all the time to nowhere on the index. The results are now very strange, a mix of Youtube, linked in, and small book stores that she has done events at recently to promote her first book. I was checking after some of my SEO buddys were freaking out about their EMD's getting hit on Sunday. She is an aspiring author with a book coming out this month. There is obviously no ads or spam content on the site... I have never done SEO for it either except a bit of on page I guess. It sucks that people might be grabbing her book soon and when they Google her name nothing shows up. This couldn't have really happened at a worse time. Not to mention the hours spent building the site to her liking, free of charge of course 🙂 Is there anyone I can contact there to help me out? Shouldn't and EMD that is someones name still rank when you search their name?

132 pages reported as having Duplicate Page Content but I'm not sure where to go to fix the problems?
I am seeing “Duplicate Page Content” coming up in our
Technical SEO | | danatanseo
reports on SEOMOZ.org Here’s an example: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-ppa-r35-e http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/aphex-230-master-voice-channel-processor http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/AT-AE4100.prod These three pages are for completely unrelated products.
They are returning “200” status codes, but are being identified as having
duplicate page content. It appears these are all going to the home page, but it’s
an odd version of the home page because there’s no title. I would understand if these pages 301-redirected to the home page if they were obsolete products, but it's not a 301-redirect. The referring page is
listed as: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/cd-duplicators None of the 3 links in question appear anywhere on that page. It's puzzling. We have 132 of these. Can anyone help me figure out
why this is happening and how best to fix it? Thanks!0 -
Site Crawl
I was wondering if there was a way to use SEOmoz's tool to quickly and easily find all the URLs on you site and not just the ones with errors. The site that I am working on does not have a site map. What I am trying to do is find all the URLs along with their titles and description tags. Thank you very much for your help
