Reset Crawler
-
Hello, Does anyone know how to reset the crawler? We recently uploaded our new website and deleted the current campaign but it seems the crawler is caching our old websites data and not the new so every time we try to create a new campaign with the same details, it's just pulling everything from cache it seems. Thanks

Hi ForzaHost!
This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team. I see that you've opened a ticket that my colleague, Chiaryn, is working with you on. We'll be following up with you in the ticket instead so we can look at your campaign specific information and help figure out what's happening.
Cheers!

Hello,
Sorry, I meant SEOMoz's Crawler.
I should have been more clear, I apologize.
Thanks.

ForzaHost,
One thing you might try is Fetch As Google. In GWT on dashboard you will see health. Under health click Fetch as Google and the drop down will allow you to choose what you want. (Probably Web). You can insert up to 500 directories (one at time to check the results).
Under Fetch as Google, is Index where you can see when the site was indexed, etc.
Hope this is helpful,

Possible Crawling Problem with Screaming Frog and Moz Crawlers
So I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is a problem or not. As of about two weeks ago the Moz crawler has only been able to see www.mysite.com, and none of the links, content, title, ect associated with the page. Essentially the report has one line, what should be the homepage, but it's not able to pull any information from the page but does show a 200 http status code. The report shows nothing blocked by robots or any errors. When I use screaming frog to crawl the site about 75% of the time it just reports one line www.mysite.com with a 200 status code, but again the crawler is not able to actually see the html. The other 25% of the time it works perfectly fine, crawls all pages and sees all meta info and content. There are no errors in Google WMT and everything looks ok there. We have seen a traffic drop the last two weeks but I don't know if this is the reason for it. I can't publicly post the page but if someone has an idea of what might be going on I'd be happy to PM them. Thanks

Where does the crawler find the urls?
The SEO Moz crawler has found a number of 500 error pages, and 404s etc which is very useful 🙂 however some of the urls are weird/broken formats we don't recognise and nobody remembers ever using - not weird enough to imply hacking, but something broken in the CMS Is there anyway to find out where the crawler found these urls? I can patch up and redirect the end result as best I can but I would prefer to fix plug the leak thanks 🙂

Crawler has stopped crawling my website
Hi all, I recently changed my site www.ipbskinning.com to ipbskinning.com. For some reason my weekly scan states that no pages have been crawled. I tried making a new campaign with the sub-domain ipbskinning.com but still the starter crawl returns nothing? Am I doing something wrong? :S Thanks all!

Confusion about how SEOMOZ crawler works...
So according to my SEOMOZ dashboard, I'm ranking between #3-4 for one of my keywords. My keyword is 'Boston Wedding Photographer'. My site is http://www.symbolphoto.com I show up in google places, true. But i was wanting to rank organically. Am i right in the assumption that Google Places and Google Organic are not the same thing? SEOMOZ claims 3,4th but not organically(Assuming they aren't the same thing) I get pretty good traffic right now being in Places, but i can't help but feel that organically ranking would bring more traffic. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. TIA! -Brendan

Does anyone know of a crawler similar to SEOmoz's RogerBot?
As you probably know SEOmoz had some hosting and server issues recently, and this came at a terrible time for me... We are in the middle of battling some duplicate content and crawl errors and need to get a fresh crawl of some sites to test things out before we are hit with the big one? Before I get a million thumbs downs- I love and will continue to use SEOmoz, just need something to get me through this week ( or until Roger is back! )!
