Possible bug in Crawl Issues report?
-
Hi all -
My crawl issues report shows 3 pages with missing titles. These are just google verification files and the robot.txt file - shouldn't these be excluded?
Pages with Title Missing or Emptyas of May 11

Hi Matthew,
I think you will find that those urls are included in your sitemap.xml and that is why they are being crawled. They are also being indexed by google - you can search for the name of the verification files and they show up in the results. Remove them from the sitemap and you should be ok!

How do I cancel a crawl request?
I was farting around and exploring the Crawl Test tool, and accidentally sent out a crawl for a competitor's site (I wanted to see if the tool would decline to crawl without verification). I do NOT want to actually crawl that site, nor do I want the competitor to see that we requested it (for obvious reasons) - how do I cancel it?

Does anyone have a good article or video on how to read the SEO MOZ crawl report column by column?
I am trying to find a good how-to on how to read and analyze each column of the SEO MOZ crawl report, specifically, the excel sheet it allows you to export. What I'm really trying to get to the bottom of is what the "Yes" indiciates under rel-cononical. If it says "yes," does this mean that the link in question has been canonoicalized?

Moz crawl suddenly shows much less pages from what I really have

Rank Report color coding
As I recall the weekly Rank Report used green and red to indicate an increase or decrease in page rank. Now, there isn't even a minus sign for a drop in page rank. If the current page rank is 10 and it dropped 5, all I see is 10 and 5. How am I supposed to know at a glance that it dropped 5 without having to pull up the historical graph? Best,
