Getting your site totally indexed by SEOMOZ

[ssiebn7]

Hi guys!

Ijust started using SEOMOZ software and wondered how it could be that my site has over 10.000 pages but in the Pro Dashboard it only indexed about 1500 of them. I've been waiting a few weeks now but the number has been stable ever since. Is there a way to get the whole site indexed by SEOMoz software?

Thanks for your answers!

Hello,

I'm sorry that some of your pages didn't end up getting crawled. There's a lot of reasons why this could have happened, some of which have to do with our crawler, and others that have to do with a site. Basically, the crawler finds pages by crawling all of the links on the homepage/front page and then crawling all of the pages those links took him to, and so forth, until all of the pages we can find under that directory are crawled. Usually, if a page is linked to from the homepage, it should end up getting crawled. If it doesn't, it's either a sign that those pages aren't as accessible as they could be to search engines, or that there is an issue with our crawler. Some of the time, it's a problem with Javascript - our crawler can't handle Javascript very well right now. Other times, content was created a little bit after we crawled but before we finished processing and putting up the results. That content will be captured in the next crawl usually. It can also be due to meta tags or robots.txt telling rogerbot not to crawl.
On the whole, I'm not sure why some of your pages wouldn't be showing up in the crawl. Can you let me know some examples of pages that should be in the crawl but didn't end up in your campaign? If you could also outline the links going to those pages, I can send all that information over to our engineering team and we can try to diagnose the issue. Thanks a ton!

Talk to you soon,

Thanks Abe!

As soon as I can analyse the whole site, including all the links, i will get back at you.

I think you got a good point about the links. I don't think SEOmoz can do anything about that
