Seomoz crawler problems
-
I have had Seomoz for about a month. It has crawled about 1000 pages. I have about 10,000 pages total for the site. Why are these others being a problem? I have contacted help but the guy isn't any help, we have just been going back and forth for the last two weeks. Any suggestions?

Hi,
It's difficult to provide you with a clear answer. It could be helpful to have some more information. Would you mind providing a link to your site. Sometimes reviewing a site can be helpful. Also, when you say."I have contacted help but the guy isn't any help", are you referring to SEOMOZ support?
Thanks

He emailed me back and stated that the crawler has a problem with javascript. So the crawler might just be useless for me.

Hi there,
Thanks for zen like patience working with me during the holidays. Let's dig in! I am glad that you were more satisfied with my recent answer, I am sorry that wasn't more of a expert of JS to help you alleviate the problem. JS has been historically a hard language to parse and crawl, so these are some of Roger's growing pains and I can understand that it can be a frustrating experience. Like I mentioned, some of the reasons that your site only returned the minimum amount of links was due to embedded JS links inside the I-Box, which our crawler will not crawl in that environment because it sees the links as images rather than standard html links. Usually if you want a view of how Roger crawls your site, I recommend turning off JS to see what your site actually looks like

Limitations like this one is why we offer a month long trial so if customers run into problems we can have time to alleviate it before it actually bills. Hope that helps!
Best,
Peter
