Lots of site errors after last crawl....
-
Something interesting happened on the last update for my site on SEOmoz pro tools.
For the last month or so the errors on my site were very low, then on the last update I had a huge spike in errors, warnings, and notices. I'm not sure if somehow I made a change to my site (without knowing it) and I caused all of these errors, or if it just took a few months to find all the errors on my site?
My duplicate page content went from 0 to 45, my duplicate page titles went from 0 to 105, my 4xx (client error) went from 0 to 4, and my title missing or empty went from 0 to 3.
On the warnings sections my missing meta description tag went form a hand full to 444. (most of these looking to be archive pages.)
Down in the notices I have over 2000 that are blocked by meta robots, meta-robots nofollow, and Rel canonical. I didn't have any where near this many prior to the last update of my site.
I just wanted to see what I need to do to clean this up, and figure out if I did something to cause all the errors. I'm assuming the red errors are the first things I need to clean up.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also if you'd like me to post any additional information, please let me know and I'd be glad to.

Hope you are doing well.

Hey Rick,
Could you send an email to help@seomoz.org and ask them about this? They'll be able to tell you if it's something on your end, or if Roger is misbehaving in his crawls. Thanks so much!

Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean by "upgrading my Wordpress." I have the newest version, and I also use the Yoast SEO plugin.

Watch those comment pages, ascending/descending lists, article pagination, tag pages, category pages, archive pages, RSS, print pages, and anything else that might create a page link. I recommend upgrading your Wordpress and installing the Yoast SEO plugin.
But also, search engine algorithms change, and I imagine they do here at SEOmoz. Be prepared for these kinds of updates as the point is to keep up with search engines to give the best possible representation of your rankings.

Seomoz crawl: 4XX (Client Error) How to find were the error are?

Crawl Diagnostics: Next crawl date is in the past
Hi - I have quite a few crawl diagnostic errors and warnings. I have attempted to fix many of them but noticed this note at the bottom of the crawl diagnostics chart: "Last Crawl Completed: Mar. 22nd, 2013 Next Crawl Starts: Mar. 29th, 2013" It looks like SEOMoz thinks the next crawl date is Mar 29th, 2013, which is two weeks ago. Is there any way to "force" the crawl and get it back on regular schedule? This may have happened when my account was disabled because my credit card expired...Thoughts?

Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL
Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.

How effective is Crawl DIagnostics in determining crawlibility?
Is Seomoz crawl diagnostics useful for determining what pages Google has a hard time indexing. One of the problems with my site is that it uses JS and Flash and I know Google isnt too keen on that. Can Crawl Diagnostics accurately tell me if there is too much of something and therefore Google is having a hard time crawling? I want to be able to know if JS or Flash is hurting any of my pages in any way. I provide good content and I want to make sure Google can pick it up.....Is this too much to ask? Is there anything out there for this?

Is there any way to view crawl errors historically?
One of the website's we monitor have been getting high duplicate page titles, as we work through the pages, we see changes and the number of duplicate page titles are decreasing. However, lately, it went up again and the duplicate page titles have increased. I wanted to ask if there's any way to view the new errors and the old errors separately or sorted in a way that can help me identify why we are getting new page crawl errors. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
