Seo moz has only crawled 2 pages of my site. Ive been notified of a 403 error and need an answer as to why my pages are not being crawled?

SEO Moz has only crawled 2 pages of my clients site. I have noticed the following.
- A 403 error message
- screaming frog also cannot crawl the site but IIS can.
- Due to the lack of crawling ability, im getting no feed back on my on page optimization rankings or crawl diagnostics summary, so my competitive analysis and optimization is suffering
Anybody have any idea as to what needs to be done to rectify this issue as access to the coding or cms platform is out of my hands.
Thank you

Hi Joel,
I have indeed!
I'll take all this information to the development team and hopefully have this issue resolved asap.
Thanks once again to everybody for their input.
Regards,
Andy

Hey Andy,
You've gotten a lot of good info here and in your email with Maura. I just wanted to add in here that the crawl trouble you're having (at least with our system) is with the http://www.inoncology.com/ home page itself.
You've got a 301 redirect from the root to the www subdomain, the www then returned a 403 forbidden to our crawler.
It may have something to do with the verification you require, it may be something more obvious on the server level. It's tough to say.
Either way, you'll want to get this addressed to make sure your site is crawlable.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Hi Lynn
Thank you for taking a look into this issue, your feedback has given me food for thought.
I am going to forward on your feedback to the powers that be on the web development side of things and see if this is an answer to the problem.
I've just looked at http://www.inoncology.com/home/ and from first review, it seems that this is where the crawlers are breaking down, as it comes to a dead end.
Hopefully this is the reason.
Thank you once again

Hi Andy,
Not sure why you are seeing a 403 error (I don't see this in the headers), but you seem to have an issue with your rel=canonical tag on your homepage. It is showing a relative link to "/home" which leads you to this page: http://www.inoncology.com/home/ which is actually showing a 200 OK status, but is obviously not!
Digging into the headers a bit more it seems you might have a circular redirect going on before that, I am seeing /home redirect to /content/internet/pm/inoncology/com_EN which seems to redirect back to /home/.
No 403 in all of those, but maybe the combination of wrong rel canonical tag plus the mixed up redirects is causing the moz crawler and screaming frog to choke?

Not at all Jesse. Thank you for taking a look
Brief summary - the pharmaceutical industry has to have a disclaimer on their pages for legal reasons. Forcing a selection/disclaimer is required by law. If you select the first option, it'll take you to the web address intended.
In terms of it being related to the disclaimer, SEO Moz was indexing it with this disclaimer up until a few months ago. There's no robot txt file as you stated, so that also cannot be the reason for this.
hhhhmmm........the mystery continues!!!

no robots file so it's not that. I do notice that your landing page has an annoying popup that forces a decision and then redirects you upon choosing it... I'm not 100% sure but that might have something to do with it. I can't seem to get past that and onto the site itself honestly. Everytime I click a selection I get to another page with a popup.
If I were an average internet browser *(which in this instance I am) I would leave your site and not return. Poor user experience hurts ultimately, and that was what I experienced.Not trying to be rude, just trying to be helpful. Sorry if I came off cross.
G'luck!

Does MOZ still do deep crawls of the website?
In the past you could get MOZ to crawl your website, now I don't see this option, no do I see a crawl at the beginning of the month. Has this change? I saw this as a useful feature.

2 different pages being shown as duplicate content.
I have a small problem with some of the pages on one of my websites.

Pages are shown as duplicate content when they have no content the same apart from the template. But it only happens with a few products and we have well over 100 products for sale. An example would be these which are seen as duplicate content.

Moz Pro vs. Moz Analytics
Beta version has been out for awhile. Curious to know what people think of Moz Analytics. Personally, I'm having a hard time making the switch from Pro to Moz Analytics because I'm so used to the navigation and layout of Pro. What does everyone else think of the new Moz Analytics? Advantages? Disadvantages?

Pages Crawled: 1 Why?
I have some campaigns which have only 1 page crawled, while some other campaigns, having completely similar URL (subdomain) and number of keywords and pages, have all pages crawled... Why is that so? It has been also a while I waited and so far no change...

Conflicting Data with Open Site Explorer & SEO Moz Toolbar
Hi there, Why is my SEOmoz toolbar showing me higher linking root domains than open site explorer? For example, for this site: http://thisisouryear.com/, the linking root domains in SEOMOZ show 1,015 and in open site explorer it says it has 35. I have noticed this for other sites as well. Which one is right? And why are they different?

Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls
I would like to ask for the possible problem plus solution on one of our campaigns. Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls. Before the last two crawls, SEOmoz crawls numerous pages and we can’t think of a possible reason for this error. For this particular campaign , there are no data --- no errors, warnings and notices. Thanks!

SEOMoz Pro still hasn't crawled 10k pages for one campaign
I looked for a question in the forum already for this but couldn't find anything. Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I recently signed up with SEOMoz Pro and added two campaigns. For one campaign, 10,000 pages were crawled. For the other campaign, only about 300. It's been 2 weeks since I created the campaigns. Is there a way to force a crawl of the site associated with the second campaign?

Site not showing data in Open Site Explorer
I have run open site explorer for a couple of sites but I am getting the "no data available for this URL" message. I have read the reasons listed on the error message but none of these apply to the particular sites I am looking for data from. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Thanks, Kwan
