Why is Moz Crawling More Pages Than My Site Actually Has?
-
Hi
I have a site that only has 5k pages but Moz has crawled 50K pages on the site when I initiated the site crawl. I don't exactly know why Moz is reporting me back so many pages but I was wondering why this is and if any of you out in the Moz community know anything about this.
Thanks

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
It's tough to say without being able to look at your Campaign directly, but I can give you a hint! If you go to All Crawled Pages and download the CSV, Column B is the Referrer URL, the page our crawler was on when it found the link to the page in Column A. You should be able to trace our steps backward to find where all these links are coming from on your site.
I hope that helps! If you're still needing some help, please write in to us at help@moz.com with all the details of your issue, and we'll do our very best to sort things out for ya.
Cheers!

Keyword Count Incorrect In On Page Grader
Hi, I have found that on one site I am working on seems to have issues when i run it through the on page grader. The problem is that it is saying I am showing the main keyword 24 times in the body, but actually it is 12 times. Could there be a problem on the website that is showing something I cant see, or is this a known issue. Thanks

Is MOZ any good to analyze an e-commerce site? How come that a cms page can be seen as duplicate content with a category page?
Hi Guys, I've been using Moz for quite a long time now for 2 of my shops. Now I am in the process of launching the second shop and I just don't understand how is it possible that a cms static page (About US) to be seen as a duplicate content with other 96 pages - including product pages and other totally different pages such as delivery information, category pages, returns and so on. Really MOZ?? Is it me or you?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
