Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ah, good question. At the moment this project is still in planning, so I don't have a firm ETA yet. There's a good chance we will release the task list functionality in phases and I'm hoping to have a first phase out before the end of the year. I'll be sure to share some more information when the plan is better defined.

If I am understanding you correctly you want to know how many links are going to different folders within your site structure, or to different pages within your site structure. Either way, use webmastertools, although the link counts tend to be off and not nearly as accurate as open site explorer, it will give you the ability to see links built to each level via the "your site on the web" section look for the "links to your site section". \ here is an example: folder                                                                            links             linking domains | /lawyer/Pennsauken_New-Jersey |      458 |                    2 | the folder in question was /lawyer/ There are also a number of hosted analytics solutions you could put on your server that will give you more detailed info. one more thought is to count the links to pages that reside in that folder by filtering in your analytics, i am not sure of the scale of your site, but it might do the trick as well. Easy as that! Cheers,

I'm excited to see where you guys are taking PA & DA.  I'm sure it will only continue to improve and as a baseline metric for evaluating a site it is already incredibly useful. I just think it needs to be made crystal clear that comparing the PA & DA of today to the PA & DA of last month, last quarter, or last year truly is apples and oranges and this will only become more true as SEOMoz improves these metrics going forward.

Here is another resource for you: Create XML Sitemap

Thanks Keri, I think this might be user error! The problem only seems to occur if I import the CSV into an exisiting Excel spreadsheet. If I directly open the same CSV in Excel then it formats as expected. So my mistake it seems. Sorry for wasting anyone's time! Ben

Yes! You'll want to go to Open Site Explorer and type in their domain and you can move lots of switches and levers there to see all kinds of data. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/one-giant-leap-for-link-data-announcing-open-site-explorer is an introduction from when OSE was first launched and can give you an idea of some of the neat things you can do.

I like the opensiteexplorer method. The difficulty is what to do once you create the list of .edu's. We're using some of the other blogs on the subject on seomoz.

Thanks for your reply.

If nothing from http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page worked, then it's time to email help@seomoz.org and open a ticket.

Thanks so much for the update!  I'm glad to hear that your rankings are now accurate.  We really appreciate all of your patience during the downtime! Cheers, Megan

Sean - I share Rand' sentiments, thanks so much for the suggestion! We have considered distributed crawling in the past (or even distributed rank checking because then it would be in that user's locale) but there are a whole different set of challenges.  For example, you have to handle all the edge cases: what if a user's computer isn't on, or loses connectivity, what if we crawl too fast and the user gets blocked from a site, how do you write all that data securely? Of course all of these concerns can be overcome, but right now we feel like we have a good handle on the problems, and it will be much faster for us to just fix what we have Although, I know all of us are so appreciative of the ideas and support, and we will have something really great soon!

Hi Richard. For the first issue, does your site have over 10k pages? I ask because I believe the crawler has a 10k limit and if you exceed that number any issues on extra pages can be missed. Otherwise I would recommend inspecting your site in Google WMT. The idea behind any crawl reporting is to locate issues before Google finds them. Since you are just starting here, Google has likely already discovered any issues on your site. I have not found any broken links in WMT which the moz crawler missed so I trust the tool; however, I have not worked with IIS. For the duplicate page issue, you should ensure only one version of each page is accessible. Determine which URL version is preferred, then either eliminate the other version(s) or 301 redirect them to the primary URL version. In the example you offered, I would suggest http://www.cylc.org/ is the cleaner, preferred version of the URL.

I should say a 1.5% degredation for each repetition cumilatively. So could I assume I have lost 15% as error in your tool? meaning I have a score of %35 now ?? Who knows 

Hi Joe, You're probably better off directing this to the SEOmoz help team. Fire them an email at help@seomoz.org. As they don't read each Q&A thread, you'll probably get a faster response this way. Thanks, Brendan.

I believe you are looking at the "Crawl Diagnostics Summary" and not the actual crawl report.  The information you are seeking is on the actual Crawl Report.

Add this plug-in to your browser https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seo-status-pagerankalexa-toolb/ and you will be able to instantely see a web pages PR & Alexa Rank If you want to get the PR from a list of URLs in an excel sheet add this plug-in to Excel : http://nielsbosma.se/projects/seotools/ Hope this was helpful!
