Only Crawling 1 page?
-
Hi Guys,
Any advice much appreciated on this!
Recently set up a new campaign on my dashboard with just 5 keywords. The domain is brammer.co.uk and a quick Google site:brammer.co.uk shows a good amount of indexed pages.
However - first seomoz tool crawl has only crawled 1 url!!
"Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 12th, 2011 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 17th, 2011"
Any ideas what's stopping the tool crawl anymore of the site??
Cheers in advance..

Agreed. I've passed this to the devs.
You've been most helpful today - Thanks for your time, very much appreciated.

Well I don't think we can hold this against SEOmoz particularly, if something as basic as Xenu can't crawl it and W3C can't view it's source code I think it's somewhat fair to blame the site. Even if Google can see it I would imagine if the matter of fixed you might see a boost regardless.
Google needs to be able to see sites no matter what their state because you or I can do the same, they have the resources to implement that as well. Smaller operations (everything else) have to make do with figuring it out the old fashioned way through the source code.
I think it's the encoding simply because that is the first port of call on the page and it's broken. If it was anything further down we would at least be seeing some page data cropping up.
The only other thing it could be (because I can't find a robots.txt) is something server side, and that's something it's very difficult to establish without direct access.

Interesting. Do you think that could be it? Googlebot seems to find it's way around it though. I'd have thought if G could do it then SEOmoz tools would, otherwise I imagined getting an inaccessibility error or similar from moz.
I'll get that changed and see if it makes a difference..
Thanks again for looking at it!

Xenu doesn't like it either, only indexes the one page.
Ran a w3c validation check and it threw up the fact there is no character encoding specified, which may well be the whole of the problem.
If you look at the source code that w3c displays you can see it's essentially an empty document.

Any ideas? got a report due on the 19th and the next crawl is due on the 17th. Would be great to remove any blockers before then if poss. thanks!
-
Definately. Cheers.

Worth a stab.
Probably worthwhile setting that forwarding up in the meantime anyway.
-
Thanks Tom, but no, it's setup as www.brammer.co.uk so it's not that.
-
Well if you've just put in http://brammer.co.uk it may well be falling over because the domain isn't forwarding to http://www.brammer.co.uk
That's my guess. You just need to forward the domain and it should all be sorted.

Pages with Temporary Redirects on pages that don't exist!
Hi There Another obvious question to some I hope. I ran my first report using the Moz crawler and I have a bunch of pages with temporary redirects as a medium level issue showing up. Trouble is the pages don't exist so they are being redirected to my custom 404 page. So for example I have a URL in the report being called up from lord only knows where!: www.domain.com/pdf/home.aspx This doesn't exist, I have only 1 home.aspx page and it's in the root directory! but it is giving a temp redirect to my 404 page as I would expect but that then leads to a MOZ error as outlined. So basically you could randomize any url up and it would give this error so I am trying to work out how I deal with it before Google starts to notice or before a competitor starts to throw all kinds at my site generating these errors. Any steering on this would be much appreciated!

How to know exactly which page links to a 404 page on my website?
Hi Moz users, Sometimes I get 404 crawl errors using Moz Pro and when my website has a few dozen pages it is hard for me to find the original page that links to a 404 page. Is there a way to find this automatically using Moz or do I have to look for it manually? I just need to find the original link and delete it to fix my 404 issue. Please let me know thank you for you help. -Marc

Crawl Errors Confusing Me
The SEOMoz crawl tool is telling me that I have a slew of crawl errors on the blog of one domain. All are related to the MSNbot. And related to trackbacks (which we do want to block, right?) and attachments (makes sense to block those, too) ... any idea why these are crawl issues with MSNbot and not Google? My robots.txt is here: http://www.wevegotthekeys.com/robots.txt. Thanks, MJ

SEOMoz Pro still hasn't crawled 10k pages for one campaign
I looked for a question in the forum already for this but couldn't find anything. Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I recently signed up with SEOMoz Pro and added two campaigns. For one campaign, 10,000 pages were crawled. For the other campaign, only about 300. It's been 2 weeks since I created the campaigns. Is there a way to force a crawl of the site associated with the second campaign?
