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.

Moz is treating my pages as duplicate content but the pages have different content in reality
Attached here is a screenshot of links with duplicate content. Here are some links that is also based on the screenshot http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/paseo-de-roces-as-of-october-2015 http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-2-as-of-october-2015/ http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-3-as-of-october-2015 The links that I have placed here have different content. So I don't why they are treated as duplicates BWWJuvQ

Duplicate Page Content on pages that appear to be different?
Hi Everyone! My name's Ross, and I work at CHARGED.fm. I worked with Luke, who has asked quite a few questions here, but he has since moved on to a new adventure. So I am trying to step into his role. I am very much a beginner in SEO, so I'm trying to learn a lot of this on the fly, and bear with me if this is something simple. In our latest MOZ Crawl, over 28K high priority issues were detected, and they are all Duplicate Page Content issues. However, when looking at the issues laid out, the examples that it gives for "Duplicate URLs" under each individual issue appear to be completely different pages. They have different page titles, different descriptions, etc. Here's an example. For "LPGA Tickets", it is giving 19 Duplicate URLs. Here are a couple it lists when you expand those:
Moz Pro | | keL.A.xT.o
http://www.charged.fm/one-thousand-one-nights-tickets
http://www.charged.fm/trash-inferno-tickets
http://www.charged.fm/mylan-wtt-smash-hits-tickets
http://www.charged.fm/mickey-thomas-tickets Internally, one reason we thought this might be happening is that even though the pages themselves are different, the structure is completely similar, especially if there are no events listed or if there isn't any content in the News/About sections. We are going to try and noindex pages that don't have events/new content on them as a temporary fix, but is there possibly a different underlying issue somewhere that would cause all of these duplicate page content issues to begin appearing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!0 -
Aren't domain.com/page and domain.com/page/ the same thing?
Hi All, A recent Moz scan has turned up quite a few duplicate content notifications, all of which have the same issue. For instance: domain.com/page and domain.com/page/ are listed as duplicates, but I was under the impression that these pages would, in fact, be the same page. Is this even something to bother fixing or a fluke scan? If I should fix it does anyone know of an .htaccess modification that might be used? Thanks!

SeoMoz keyword page grader report card
Hi Ive recently 301 redirected old pages/urls to new pages/urls due to a site redesign. The seomoz kw report card is still reporting the old urls though with a significantly reduced score for most pages (i.e. from A's to now C's, from B to now D's etc). Does this mean mozbot is following the 301's & its actually the new urls being graded as such or is it referring to the old pages ? I will be adding the new urls to report card shortly but just interested in clarifying the above since i would have thought, if it is the old pages, they would not be reporting any score for those, or its scoring the new pages ? Many Thanks Dan

Why do the Ranking Report emails differ from the acutal Ranking Report?
I have been noticing that the Rankings listed in the emails are far different from the ones in my report once I log in. Any idea what this is about? Often the rankings in the email are much better then in the report. And I am talking about on the same day as the email was sent out, not a week later.

Ranking report not accurate
I've justed signed up for SEOMOZ and testing out the ranking report software. For a client that I'm doing an audit for I've ran a ranking report against the keywords. Using Chrome Incognito I've checked the ranking and they are on the 1st page but the ranking report is showing they aren't in the top 43, any ideas why this might be? I've checked my setting and set up and that's all fine.

How do I get the Page Authority of individual URLs in my exported (CSV) crawl reports?
I need to prioritize fixes somehow. It seems the best way to do this would be to filter my exported crawl report by the Page Authority of each URL with an error/issue. However, Page Authority doesn't seem to be included in the crawl report's CSV file. Am I missing something?
