Summarize your question.Is it possible to request another unscheduled crawl?
-
We have just sorted a couple of issues on the website which threw the crawl into spasm and gave us hundreds of hugely long URLs. We are pretty sure that we have corrected this and do not want to wait another week to check what SEOMOZ comes up with.
Is there anyway that we can request a special crawl of the website so that we can hopefully just be left any legitimate remaining issues?

Thanks Keri,
I knew it was possible but just couldn't find it myself. Not sure if I should blame it on middle age or the varifocals. Thanks for you help anyway, much appreciated.

You can crawl up to 3000 URLs on demand from http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test, which should help you get started.

Campaign Crawl
I have a site with 8036 pages in my sitemap index. But the MozBot only Crawled 2169 pages. It's been several months and each week it crawls roughly the same number of pages. Any idea why I'm not getting fully crawled?

Question #3) My last question has to do with Some SEOmoz crawl diagnostics -
I recently fixed (or well, I am asking to make sure that this was the right thing to do in my first question posted a few minutes ago), a problem where all of my internal main sidebar category pages were linking using https://, which to my knowledge means SECURE pages. anyways, OSE, and google seem to be not recognizing the link juice. but my rank fell for one of my main keywords by 2 positions about a week after i made the fix to have the pages be indexable. Making my pages properly linked can't be a bad thing right? That's what I said. So I looked deeper, and my crawl diagnostics reports showed a MASSIVE reduction in warnings (about 3,000 301 redirects were removed by changing the https:// to http:// because all the secure pages were re-directing to http:// regular structure) and an INCREASE, in Duplicate Page Titles, and Temporary redirects... Could that have been the reason the rank dropped? I think I am going to fix all the Duplicate Page Title problems tonight, but still, I am a little confused as to why such a major fix didn't help and appeared to hurt me. I feel like it hurt the rank, not because of what I did, but because what I did caused a few extra re-directs, and opened the doors for the search engine to discover more pages that had problems (which could have triggered an algo that says hey, these people have to much duplicate problems) Any thoughts will be GREATLY appreciated thumbed, thanked, and marked as best answers! Thanks in advance for your time, Tyler A.

If i have just started a campaign, and the crawl is happening - can i log off and shut down my PC
If i have just started a campaign, and the crawl is happening - can i log off and shut down my PC or will this cause the crawl to stop. My campaign was showing as "crawl in process". I then shut down and logged onto my SEOmoz account on another PC. When I did the crawl didnt seem to be in process, even though the total time was still about 30 min from the crawl start...... sorry if this is a stupid question, just a bit new to this

In my crawl diagnostics, there are links to duplicate content. How can I track down where these links originated in?
How can I find out how SEOMOz found these links to begin with? That would help fix the issue. Where's the source page where the link was first encountered listed at?

Campaign Crawl Report
Hello, Just a quicky, is there anyway I can do a crawl report for something in a campaign so I can compare the changes? I know you can do a separate crawl test, but it wont show the differences,and the next crawl date isnt untill the 28th.

Is it possible to exclude pages from Crawl Diagnostic?
I like the crawl diagnostic but it shows many errors due to a forum that I have. I don't care about the SEO value of this forum and would like to exclude any pages in the /forum/ directory. Is it possible to add exclusions to the crawl diagnostic tool?

Do new Mozzers realise it takes effort to respond to their questions?
I see a lot of people asking questions and getting some pretty good responses, but the people who are responding, often do not get a thumbs up for their answer. If you are new and you are reading this, then you maybe do not understand that a thumbs up actually helps the person who gave their time to answer your question. There are several ways it helps, including giving feedback that the answer or the attempt to answer was actually useful, that you learned something or you appreciate the time it took to check your questions and give you feedback that you don't get in other forums, where you might be ignored for weeks or months. This is a collaborative forum and we are all here to learn something and to pass some of our knowledge to others who need it. Not every answer we give needs a thumbs up, but if you got something out of the answer, then, surely it is worth a second of your time to say "Thanks, that helped me" or "Yes, I agree with this"
