Changing the Timeframe of Historical Crawl Data
-
Hello,
Just read a great post about the implications of duplicate content for sites after the most recent Panda update:
In the post is an image or crawl data history that shows months, not days or weeks, worth of trending data as it relates to duplicate content.
So my question is this:
How do I change my view/date range on my own campaigns so that I can view the trailing months of data rather than only what seems to be the past 4 weeks or so? This would really help me identify the impact of some on page changes we've recently made for a client.
Many Thanks,
Jared

Sorry for the very slow response. Your data is still there (nothing lost), and is displayed historically in the graphs, but the detailed data is only shown for the latest week or day. We have 2 projects on our roadmap that will make this better in the platform. The first is monthly timeframes, so you can see changes in larger chunks over months instead of weeks. The other, is the ability to look at the detail data for past weeks (and months when that is in place). I don't have a timeframe on historical yet, but we should have more clarity around our plans for that feature in January.

I have a campaign that has been configured for a month (trial) which we upgraded into a paid package... can only see the last week... has historic data been lost?

Hi Jared,
It looks like this is cleared up, but wanted to follow up.
Pete's correct in that we only collect data from the start of a campaign, but will collect and display it for months following. In the future, we will be looking to add finer control so that long histories can be better displayed and managed.
Please let me know if there are other things we can do with this feature to make it better for you!
Thanks,
Adam

No worries - I know we're looking to add to the history functionality, but I'm not sure if you can control the date-range yet. I pinged the product team, so they'll chime in if they can tell you something I can't.

You know, looking at my other campaigns I'd imagine you're right on. Sorry, I didn't even think of that before I asked the question. In fact, maybe it was wishful thinking on my part that I had more data for this particular client.
Thanks for the quick response.

I think we only collect data from when the campaigns are first created, so it might vary depending on the account age, but I'll check that with the product team and get back to you. That graph was just the default for me.

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

Campaign web crawl has failed last 4 times
I have 4 websites setup in my pro dashboard. The only site that isn't getting crawled is an HTTPS site. It has worked for over a year, but the past 4 crawls (an entire month now) has returned only one page crawled. Is there something going on with the crawler? I really need to be able to see these stats. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

No data showing in SiteExplorer
For this site: www.cooperator.biz/ I see no backlinks in SEO Moz Open SiteExplorer but Majestic SEO is showing 13 unique domains linking to it. I regularly encounter zero data for sites that I know have backlinks, why is this? If it's a problem with crawling them, why would I continue to use SEO Moz when other SEO services are showing me links? Kind regards, Rich
