      Mine started yesterday afternoon and it's now almost 11pm on Sunday. 30+ hours and still not finished (and no progress indicator). 438 pages quoted as being crawled. That's not normal - right?

      I have made a bunch of changes based on last weeks crawl so I have been eagerly waiting for this to finish But 30 hours?....

      Thanks.

        I've had a couple instances where that has happened.  It's not an answer you are going to love, but wait another 24 hours and let me know if it hasn't completed.

        The first one is always the longest and after that it slots into a routine that you can bank on.

        Hope that helps pal.

          Thank you, Joshua. Just to clarify this is not the initial crawl (that happened a couple of weeks ago). This is the third week for me. I am pretty sure the first two were way quicker than this,

          Thanks again.

            Still running and approaching two days now 😞

            My first month trial is up today. This has got me thinking about whether to continue. 40+ hours just seems too much or a small web site such as mine.

              Hi Mark,

              I've forwarded this to the crawl service team and they are looking into it.

              Sorry you've had an unexpected delay, and we'll get it on track for you as soon as possible.

              Walt

              • I know how long it takes for google to crawle my website but not sure how long it takes SEOmoz to answer my emails. Maybe 4-5 months?
