Why does my crawl report show just one page result?
-
I just ran a crawl report on my site: http://dozoco.com The result report shows results for just one page - the home page, but no other pages. The report doesn't indicate any errors or "do not follows" so I'm unclear on the issue, although I suspect user error - mine.

Thanks Sha. The content is "ours" - at least in so far as we've pulled it from retailer sites and or affiliate networks and modified to fit our needs...so not entirely ours, not a pure duplicate either. We do operate a fund raising site which shares the content which is something which I hadn't considered until now...will have to decide how to handle the duplication across the two sites. That said - the rest of your points are well taken and appreciated. We'll have to do some further research into the javascript points and determine how to best handle.

Thanks Keri - very helpful.

Hi William,
As indicated from the help page that Keri provided, the problem is that the page is entirely rendered in javascript and SEOmoz crawlers do not follow javascript links or redirects.
Of course, the reason why the SEOmoz crawlers do not do this is most likely because Google's (and other search engines) stated position is that they are "getting better" at handling javascript, but the likelihood of trouble free crawling for googlebot is likely low or at the very least unknown.
Bing now has an option in its Webmaster Central that lets you indicate that javascript crawling is required for a site. I have not seen any information on the effectiveness of this as yet, but you could investigate that by hitting their help forum.
Even if search engines manage to crawl the javascript without issue, there are other significant problems with the content on the site. It appears that the site is a multi affiliate whitelabel? All of the text is actually being pulled in from an external page and that page contains content that is duplicated across many other websites. This is the case with every "page".
Unfortunately, all of these things add up to a fairly bad SEO situation. Your best option for generating traffic would be to become massively popular through social channels and use them to feed traffic to the site. That is assuming that this whitelabel platform does not give you the option to create your own content (which would be much better).
Another alternative would be to create a site on a new domain with awesome, unique, shareable content with links to feed traffic to this site, but if you are going that route, making people take an extra click through a second domain on the way to the retailer's site would not be optimal for conversions. So it would be better to add direct affiliate links within the pages.
So, on the whole, I would say that ramping up your social activity is your best approach.
Hope this helps,
Sha

Here's a post from the help desk with a couple of reasons for that. http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page. If that doesn't take care of the problem for you, email [email protected] and they'll work with you on getting the rest of the site crawled.
I'm looking at a site:dozoco.com search in Google and all the URLs I see look like http://dozoco.com/#!/store/us-pets. The #! may be the cause of the problem; I'm not exactly sure how Roger deals with crawling that.

Pages with URL Too Long
Hello Mozzers! MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of E-commerce site, which has to include 'brand' 'range' and 'products' keyword. For example -
Moz Pro | | tigersohelll
https://www.choicefurnituresuperstore.co.uk/Devonshire-Rustic-Oak-Bedside-Cabinet-1-Drawer-p40668.html MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the brand name and product name. Questions:
If it is an issue, how to fix it on my site?
If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ?
Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low.0 -

Crawl report - duplicate page title/content issue
When the crawl report is finished, it is saying that there are duplicate content/page titles issues. However there is a canonical tag that is formatted correctly so just wondered if this was a bug or if anyone else was having the same issues? For example, I'm getting a error warning for this page http://www.thegreatgiftcompany.com/categories/categories_travel?sort=name_asc&searchterm=&page=1&layout=table

Page Rank Report says #6 in Google but I can't find the page anywhere
So SEOMoz says that I've consistently ranked #6 for a certain keyword. But when I search I'm no where to be found. I've done regular searches, incognito and some non-seomoz reports and all come up with nothing in Google. I noticed it a week or two ago, but didn't think it would continue. This is no bueno. I wouldn't be surprised if I got penalized (luckily my homepage relatively well for similar keywords), an old seo consultant used very spammy tactics. I recently removed them, but not before I started to notice that I fell off the map. Why would SEOMoz not recognize this, and continue to say I'm ranking well? The keyword is bpi building analyst the page is http://www.cleanedison.com/courses/bpi-building-analyst

Why are not nofollowed links counted in On-Page Analysis Report?
When I run the On-Page Analysis on our homepage, the report says the page has 238 **"Internal followed links". ** Why are not nofollowed internal links counted as well? Nofollowed links have been leaking link juice for quite some time now. Martin

Crawl Diagnostics - unexpected results
I received my first Crawl Diagnostics report last night on my dynamic ecommerce site. It showed errors on generated URLs which simply are not produced anywhere when running on my live site. Only when running on my local development server. It appears that the Crawler doesn't think that it's running on the live site. For example http://www.nordichouse.co.uk/candlestick-centrepiece-p-1140.html will go to a Product Not Found page, and therefore Duplicate Content errors are produced. Running http://www.nhlocal.co.uk/candlestick-centrepiece-p-1140.html produces the correct product page and not a Product Not Found page Any thoughts?

Report on a whole domain
