Waiting 3 days for Crawl Test to complete
-
Being new to seomoz Im not sure if I understand the crawl test completely. You setup a campaign, enter all your info, rogerbot goes out and crawls your site and gives you results as to what your doing right and what is wrong or could use looking into.
So once I get my results, I make edits to my site pages. In my case Im getting lots of duplicate content and duplicate titles. So I go back and make adjustments and then submit a crawl test to see the change results.
In other tools Ive used in past I was able to re run crawl immediately and fine tune results on the fly. seomoz crawl test is still pending after three days. is this normal? or is there another way to make changes and run reports to see results instantly?
If your working on many sites and making changes, having to wait 3 or more days to see how your changes were received seems like a long time.

Hey everyone! Sorry about the odd crawl test activity. If you don't mind shooting us an email at [email protected] with your PRO email address and the name of the domain that is stuck we can push then through on the back end. I would grab more information here, but we can't since it is a public forum. :S
Look forward to your emails and sorry about the wait!

You could use a program that crawls your site for same purpose. Lots of free apps out there.

Thanks alsvik,
Im kind of surprised as well how long it takes. My site has maybe 50 pages, so 3-4 days seems like along time to wait to see if you cleared out all the title and duplicate content issues or any other errors. Pretty disappointing to have to wait that long. So if one slips through the cracks its make a correction and wait another week to test and see results. I just cant see how this is practical in today's fast paced seo evolving world.

Hi Anthony.
It surprised me as well that it takes 3-4 days to crawl my site. I have +10.000 pages so i guess its ok.
Seomoz is crawling at a very low speed
Actually Seomoz crawls your site every week if you set up a campaign. Mine does! Every friday or saturday i get a crawl-report.
About the timeframe, try using GWT for meta desc and title errors!? GWT is updated monthly on terms of pages with identical title/meta descriptions. And if you make changes you shouldnt expect to see them have impact on SERP within the first month or two ...

Big problem with my new crawl report
I am owner of small opencart online store. I installed http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=6182&filter_search=seo. Today my new crawl report is awful. The number of errors is up by 520 (30 before), up with 1000 (120 before), notices up with 8000 (1000 before). I noticed that the problem is with search. There is a lot duplicate content in search only. What to do ?

Error is not going away and crawling
I have fixed an error but its still showing in red as error. Im totally new to SeoMoz and to SEO in general so im not sure how this tool works. Did I fix it correctly or not if its still showing? It was a broken link and now it links up to another page. Do I just have to wait? My website only has 8 pages and on the dashboard it says crawled 8 pages but it takes up to a week for a full crawl? Im really confused. Thank you in advanced!

http://domain.com/index.cfm I know how to set this in Google Analytics but how would I make sure this isn't seen as an error? It's accounting for both a duplicate title and duplicate content. Thanks!0 -
