Mysterious drop in the Number of Pages Crawled

[GladdySEO]

The # of crawled pages on my campaign dashboard has been 90 for months.

Approximate a week ago it dropped down to 25 crawled pages, and many links went with it.

I have checked with my web master, and he said no changes have been made which would cause this to happen.

I am looking for suggestions on how I can go about trouble shooting this issue, and possible solutions.

Thanks in advance!

did you have a sitemap on this site?

if so, run another one now and compare them to look for answers.

if not, run one anyway and see if that sheds any light on things.

any changes to the robots.txt file?

is this roger-bot's crawl you're referring to?

I just ran my sitemap, and came up with 25 pages, which corresponds exactly with my Dash Board in SEOMOZ...I am still having trouble wrapping my head around why it has said 90 for months.

Still checking robots.txt

Thank you for the quick response!

shouldn't be hard to check the robots file.

go to www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt and tell us what that says. could be a server side issue as well even if they said "no changes.."

looking at the sitemap might help you figure out what's happening. like, which of the 65 pages are missing. Are they all pages located in the same sub-directory? etc.
