Why is moz saying I have a 404 error?
-
I recently asked a question on here about how to fix my 404 error.
I figured it out, and now webmaster tools says it's not there any more. This as been confirmed by keeping watch for about a week now.
But Moz just crawled my site today and is for some reason showing an error. Am i missing something here or is Moz a little slow sometimes?

Sorry it took awhile to respond.
I have found the error still existing using Xenu link sleuth tool. Not sure why webmaster tools doesn't detect it anymore, maybe it is being deindexed and will just take some time to go away. I will keep waiting and trying anything i come across.
Thank you for your help.

I've found times when I've cleared errors from Google Webmaster Tools and despite still being broken it wouldn't reappear on WMT for weeks.
Has the offending page been 301'd or the originating incorrect links fixed to point to the correct place?
As for Mozbot, did it just start the crawl or just finish the crawl? And when was your 404 fixed? It could be that mozbot crawled it before you fixed it so it's still saying that the page is broken. Or Roger could be drunk again and crawled an incorrect link it remembered from last time despite it not being there.

My moz only one page was crawled
I recently moved my shopping cart from one provider to another and today moz only crawled one page, could this be because maybe google has not indexed it yet or should i be concerned? I pointed the DNS at the new cart monday night if that helps. I would have expected it to be indexed by now

Drop in number of Pages crawled by Moz crawler
What would cause a sudden drop in the number of pages crawled/accessed by the Moz crawler? The site has about 600 pages of content. We have multiple campaigns set up in our Pro account to track different keyword campaigns- but all for the same domain. Some show 600+ pages accessed, while others only access 7 pages for the same domain. What could be causing these issues?

Campaign 4XX error gives duplicate page URL
I ran the report for my site and had many more 4xx errors than I've had in the past month. I updated my .htaccess to include 301 statements based on Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors. Google has been reporting a positive downward trend in my errors, but my SEOmoz campaign has shown a dramatic increase in the 4xx pages. Here is an example of an 4xx URL page: http://www.maximphotostudio.net/engagements/266/inniswood_park_engagements/http:%2F%2Fwww.maximphotostudio.net%2Fengagements%2F266%2Finniswood_park_engagements%2F This is strange because URL: http://www.maximphotostudio.net/engagements/266/inniswood_park_engagements/ is valid and works great, but then there is a duplicate entry with %2F representing forward slashes and 2 http statements in each link. What is the reason for this?

The Site Explorer crawl shows errors for files/folders that do not exist.
I'm fairly certain there is ultimately something amiss on our server but the Site Explorer report on my website (www.kpmginstitutes.com) is showing thousands of folders that do not exist. Example: For my "About Us" page (www.kpmginstitutes.com/about-us.aspx), the report shows a link: www.kpmginstitutes.com/rss/industries/404-institute/404-institute/about-us.aspx. We do have "rss", "industries", "404-institute" folders but they are parallel in the architecture, not sequential as indicated in the error url. Has anyone else seen these types of error in your Site Explorer reports?
