Crawl Errors and Notices drop to zero
-
Hi all,
After setting up a campaign in Moz the crawl is successful and it showed the Errors and Warnings in crawl diagnostics (each one had about 40-50), but after a few days the number dropped to zero. Only the "notices" seems to stay normal, with a slight drop since the campaign set up, but not dropping to zero. I set this campaign up in a colleague's account and the same thing happened shortly after set up. I didn't find any Q&A already posted so any insight is appreciated!

Glad I could help!

Thank you for looking into this. Really appreciate it!

Hey Vanessa,
Every URL that is in the report you forwarded is on the blog, so it definitely looks like the noindex tag on the blog is the reason for the drop in crawl errors and warnings. If you prefer that we begin crawling the blog again, you can have that tag removed, but the tag also means that the search engines aren't indexing those pages or finding those errors any longer either.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for looking into this, Chiaryn. That is the correct campaign. I have a report from April 17 and I sent it to help@seomoz.org. If you can shed any light on this that would be a big help. I appreciate it!

Hey Vanessa,
Thanks for writing in.
I looked into your account and I think you are referring to the Sparky campaign. Unfortunately, I can only see the most recent crawl data, so I don't have a way to compare the crawls from prior to April 24th to see why the number of errors and warnings would have dropped off around that time.
I do see that we picked up a noindex, nofollow tag on the blog pages on April 16th, so it may be that we were crawling other pages on the blog that had errors and warnings before the tag was added. But once the noindex, nofollow tags were added, we weren't able to crawl those pages and report back on the errors.
If you can think of any other changes that may have taken place around April or if you have an old report that shows some of the URLs that were reported as having errors, I can look into this further for you. If you prefer not to include the error report on this public forum, you can always email it to help@seomoz.org and include my name in the subject line.
I hope this helps.
Chiaryn

Rookie question re Moz Crawl errors after deleting a property from console.
Hi all, I stupidly removed the "http" url of my one website a few days back (it is one of three, the other two being the https), then re-added it around a day later and, while google console isn't reporting back any errors, Moz Crawl is going to town on this now for one critical "4xx" issues, canonicals and various other content issues that I addressed days previously...last Moz crawl performed an hour ago, url deleted and re-added two days ago. I have resubmitted a sitemap, will this smooth itself out or shall I go and make changes? Many thanks in advance.

Site Not Indexing & SEOMoz Reporting ZERO On-Page Report Crawls
Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated. One of my sites, aironeairsolutionsinc.com, has recently been rebuilt and the pages tweaked for some basic optimization. Based on my experience, those tweaks (geared toward keywords with relatively low competition locally) usually bump my local sites up into the top 20 or 30 at worst. 3 weeks later, it seems my site is still not indexing with Google. In addition, I AM NOTICING THAT THE ON PAGE REPORTS IN SEO MOZ ARE NOT REGISTERING THAT ANY PAGES ARE BEING CRAWLED. Again, any help from Moz staff would be awesome! :} Thanks, Ricky

Has anyone noticed that there are no local results in their keyword rankings?
Is anyone else having this issue? The universal rankings are not populating in my keyword rankings tool for any of my clients. Is this something that SEOmoz changedrecently?

Error on SEOMoz When Trying to Track Website. Please Advise
Hi, I'm trying to start a new campaign for a root domain, but I'm getting the "Roger found an error" and am not sure what to make of it. Error #1: "You've decided to set up a root domain campaign, but entered the subdomain path: www.siteurl.com. Don't worry, we'll switch that for you and crawl everything on the subdomain: www.siteurl.com. If you meant to set this up to only crawl pages in the root domain, click 'Go back and Change" and enter a root domain URL in step 1." Error #2: "Oops! The root domain siteurl.com redirects to a domain that is not within the specified root domain (www.siteurl.com). This will cause us to stop crawling as the first discovered page falls outside of the root domain you've defined. Please make sure you enter a root domain that resolves to a page that is under the root domain." What does this mean? Is there something I am doing wrong? The first error is what returned when I input www.siteurl.com. The second was returned when I put just siteurl.com. I didn't put up the exact URL for privacy reasons, but if you really do want to help me out, PM me and I can give you the real URL. Thanks in advance!

Campaign report errors
one of the heavily noted errors for the first crawl of our domain was duplicate titles. I did not see a list of the pages and their current titles, but i am pretty sure it is somewhere to be found. That would help focus the work to do. Am I wrong about that?

Only crawling one page
Hi there, A campaign was crawling fine, but at the last crawl, for some reason, SEOmoz can only crawl one page... any ideas? If I run a custom crawl I still access all of the site's pages.

Why did the crawl last night not show the same results i see in google?
Last night my keywords were crawled and it shows me that a key word is ranked 14. For 3 days now it has been rank 4 or 5. Is there a reason this is not accurate? I have not checked the rest of my keywords so i am not sure about those. Thanks
