Crawl Limit Question

[David_Moceri]

I'm a little confused as to how the crawl limit works. Since there seems to be a 10K per week max, the crawl limit can't be per week, so what is the time period? Also, does that include crawling sites entered as competitors?  Right now I'm at 14/25 sites and most of them are under 1,000 pages so I'm not sure how I hit that limit (other than a one-time spike of 28,000 in November).

Hi David,

The account limits are actually shared between campaigns so if you use all of a particular limit (i.e. 50k-600k pages depending on subscription level) on a single campaign, you won't be able to create any others because there are no more pages available to allot to it.

If you have active campaigns that are crawling sites 1k pages or under, what you'll want to do is head over to your campaign settings and change the pages crawled limit for each campaign. You can find this under the Site Basics section. This will free up the total account limit for any other projects you may have.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Best,

I think that did it. Thanks!
