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.

Crawl Diagnostics
My site was crawled last night and found 10,000 errors due to a Robot.txt change implemented last week in between Moz crawls. This is obviously very bad so we have corrected it this morning. We do not want to wait until next Monday (6 days) to see if the fix has worked. How do we force a Moz crawl now? Thanks

"Issue: Duplicate Page Content " in Crawl Diagnostics - but these pages are noindex
Hello guys, our site is nearly perfect - according to SEOmoz campaign overview. But, it shows me 5200 Errors, more then 2500 Pages with Duplicate Content plus more then 2500 Duplicated Page Titles. All these pages are sites to edit profiles. So I set them "noindex, follow" with meta robots. It works pretty good, these pages aren't indexed in the search engines. But why the SEOmoz tools list them as errors? Is there a good reason for it? Or is this just a little bug with the toolset? The URLs which are listet as duplicated are http://www.rimondo.com/horse-edit/?id=1007 (edit the IDs to see more...) http://www.rimondo.com/movie-edit/?id=10653 (edit the IDs to see more...) The crawling picture is still running, so maybe the errors will be gone away in some time...? Kind regards
