How to update a crawl

[chrisleonard]

Hi

I crawled my site, it found lots of errors and warning which i have fixed, I told seomoz to recrawl, and it says nothing has changed... It defiantly has though!

How do I make it see these changes?

Alas SEOmoz will only crawl once a week.  If you go in to your campaign manager you should be able to see the last crawl date and the next scheduled crawl date.

For example, in my account I see

'
Last Crawl Completed: Nov. 30th, 2012 Next Crawl Starts: Dec. 6th, 2012'

'
I hope this helps!

Hi

Is there no way to initiate a new crawl?

If i delete the campaign and re-add will this do it?

Its another 5 days until the next cruel and my designer will be away from tomorrow.

I believe if you delete the campaign and then reinstate it you'll get the initial 200 page crawl immediately but it will still take a week or so for the full results to come back.

This was one of the first questions I asked when we first signed up with SEOmoz as we had a monster 5,000 errors on our site and cleaning them all up while waiting a week between updates took a while.

Perhaps if you e-mail SEOmoz they may initiate a re-crawl manually however I think the response may be that you need to wait until the next crawl date - Sorry.

Hi! You can do a crawl test on up to 3000 pages at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test that should help you out!
