What do you use for site audit
-
What tools do you use for conducting a site audit? I need to do an audit on a site and the seomoz web crawler and on page optimization will takes days if not a full week to return any results.
In past Ive used other tools that I could run on the fly and they would return broken links, missing htags, keyword density, server information and more.
Curious as to what you all use and what you may recommend to use in conjunction with the moz tools.

I use the following tools:
- Xenu - identifies broken links
- GSite Enterprise Crawler - identifies on page issues
- Google Cache, Google Webmaster Tools - finds crawling issues
- Scritch - finds server/platform type
- Ahrefs, Majestic, OSE - for link diagnostics
- SEO Book Bulk Server Header Tool

Hi Anthony,
I use a combination of tools for audits. SEOmoz is great for client-facing reports, and tracking issues over time. The downside is that you don't have that "on-demand" capability to crank out a full audit the instant you need it.
For on-demand audits, I use Screaming Frog, which is free for 500 URLs, and $99 for an unlimited license - it's worth every penny, and returns a full range of technical SEO data, which you can export and manipulate in Excel.

Although it has many limitations, I use: http://marketing.grader.com periodically. It's fast and covers the basics.

Rogerbot did not crawl my site ! What might be the problem?
When I saw the new crawl for my site I wondered why there are no errors, no warning and 0 notices anymore. Then I saw that only 1 page was crawled. There are no Error Messages or webmasters Tools also did not report anything about crawling problems. What might be the problem? thanks for any tips!

How do I see all links to my site in Web Explore?
It appears that the Web Explore looks for exact matches to a page. I'd like to see all matches to any page. Will regular expressions work?

What is the correlation between the SEOMOZ PR number and where my site is showing up in an organic search?
For years, our company placed 3 or 4 in an organic search on Google for the keyword I am inquiring about. A couple of months ago, we went down to number 15. I then subscribed to SEOMOZ and began a concerted effort to improve our ranking for this keyword. Slowly, our listing came up higher in searches and on our reports- back onto the first page #8. Our weekly SEOMOZ reports reflected this improvement, but then it dropped down again to page 2, #11. My most recent report, this week, gave us a PR 8 for this keyword, but our listing is showing upon page 2, #11. I do have my personal search and browser history disabled. I am unclear as to why there is this discrepancy.

Open site explorer result discrepancy
Hi all, I'm a little confused - when using open sites explorer to view of link stats on one of our competitors site I get conflicting results. For example - Page Specific Metircs shows the url www.xyz.com has 265 external links. But Root Domain Metrics show they have 22,687 links Yet the total links at the top of the report says Total links 999 Can someone explain why www.xyz.com has 265 external links and the rot domain (which is the same) has 22687 links? I've also run the report on xyz.com rather than www.xyz.com which yielded no results. Thanks in advance

How can I track multiple pages using SEOMoz
Hi there, I setup my domain along with 20 keywords to target. One of the first things I learned is not to focus on too many keywords per page. For this reason I decided to create 5 sub pages and link these pages on my index page. My questions to you: 1. Does SEOMoz track the keyword rankings for the URL entered only?

2. If the answer for 1 is YES, Would I have to setup those 5 extra URL's as new sites along with their 3 to 5 keywords? Thank you,0
