Hi
when Pending Pages number goes down the Analyzed Pages do not correspondingly go up.
Yes, it is normal. Pending pages includes images, pdf, files and links to other websites, as well as, possibly, pages on your website that we end up discarding ( if there's for instance a noindex tag in them).
Within 2 days my pending pages are already back up to 16,000 plus pending pages. Is this normal?
It is what it is. It's normal according to your site and how you configured 4SEO to crawl the site.
4SEO will put back a page up for analysis if it thinks the page has changed since last time it analyzed it. If you have content that varies a lot, like latest events module on all pages, then it can cause re-analysis to happen constantly.
What you have to think about is whether all these pages needs to be analyzed, whether they have SEO values or not. If not, you don't want to expose them to Google, and therefore you may have to exclude some with noindex or robots.txt.
Excluding them for Google will also exclude them for 4SEO.
