Crawl error robots.txt
-
Hello, when trying to access the site crawl to be able to analyze our page, the following error appears:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Nov 15, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.
Can help us?
Thanks!

@Linda-Vassily yes

The page is: https://frizzant.com/ And don't have noindex

Thanks Lind and Tawny! i 'll check it

Hey there!
This is a tricky one — the answer to these questions is almost always specific to the site and the Campaign. For this Campaign, it looks like your robots.txt file returned a 403 forbidden response to our crawler: https://www.screencast.com/t/f42TiSKp
Do you use any kind of DDOS protection software? That can give our tools trouble and cause us to be unable to access the robots.txt file for your site.
I'd recommend checking with your web developer to make sure that your robots.txt file is accessible to our user-agent, rogerbot, and returning a 200 OK status for that user-agent. If you're still having trouble, it'll be easier to assist you if you contact us through help@moz.com, where we can take a closer look at your account and Campaign directly.

I just popped that into ScreamingFrog and I don't see a noindex on that page, but I do see it on some other pages. (Though that shouldn't stop other pages from being crawled.)
Maybe it was just a glitch that happened to occur at the time of the crawl. You could try doing another crawl and see if you get the same error.

The page is: http://www.yogaenmandiram.com/ And don't have noindex
-
Hmm. How about on the page itself? Is there a noindex?
-
Yes, our robots.txt it's very simple:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php -
That just says that you are blocking the Moz crawler. Take a look at your robots.txt file and see if you have any exclusions in there that might cause that page not to be crawled. (Try going to yoursite.com/robots.txt or you can learn more about this topic here.)

Sorry, the image don't appear
Try now -
It looks like the error you are referring to did not come through in your question. Could you try editing it?

Why are only two pages of my site being crawled by MOZ?
MOZ is only crawling two pages of my site even though there are links on the homepage, and the robot.txt file allows for crawling. Our site address is www.hrparts.com.

Crawling issue
Hello,
Product Support | | Benjamien
I have added the campaign IJsfabriek Strombeek (ijsfabriekstrombeek.be) to my account. After the website had been crawled, it showed only 2 crawled pages, but this site has over 500 pages. It is divided into four versions: a Dutch, French, English and German version. I thought that could be the issue because I only filled in the root domain ijsfabriekstrombeek.be , so I created another campaign with the name ijsfabriekstrombeek with the url ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl . When MOZ crawled this one, I got the following remark:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Feb 21, 2018. **Your page redirects or links to a page that is outside of the scope of your campaign settings. Your campaign is limited to pages with ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl in the URL path, which prevents us from crawling through the redirect or the links on your page. To enable a full crawl of your site, you may need to create a new campaign with a broader scope, adjust your redirects, or add links to other pages that include ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have checked the robots.txt and that is fine. There are also no robots meta tags in the code, so what can be the problem? I really need to see an overview of all the pages on the website, so I can use MOZ for the reason that I prescribed, being SEO improvement. Please come back to me soon. Is there a possibility that I can see someone sort out this issue through 'Join me'? Thanks0 -
Is is possible to revert reporting to a past crawl date?
Site Crawl report defaults to the last crawl. Is there a way to get data from a previous crawl for comparison?

"Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site."
Hi Mozzers! I've received an error message saying the site can't be crawled because Moz is unable to access the robots.txt. I've spoken to the webmaster and he can't understand why the robot.txt can't be accessed as this seems to be fine: https://k3syspro.com/robots.txt and Google isn't flagging anything up to us. Does anyone know why this may be? Thanks, Matthew

Error Code 612 with Squarespace
Hi Moz community,
Product Support | | BrownBox
I'm getting an apparent error code 612 on my homepage. I've checked my robot.txt file with https://httpstatus.io/ as well as https://webmaster.yandex.com/ like others have suggested, but they are both showing nothing wrong. Is this something to do with square space? Is it incompatible with Moz? My site is https://brownbox.ca Thanks.0 -
Traffic Data Report Error: Anyone else?
I included a screenshot of the report. I had a 111 organic visits for last Mondays past week report, this Monday it is telling me I had 0. It's also telling me I have -10 non-branded keywords. I know the organic search visits isn't 0. Also, (this part I'm not sure about) but I don't see how I could have a negative amount of non-branded keywords. I would think it would just stop at 0. Has anyone had something like this happen? Or am I just missing something? Thanks for any help or comments. zK3FbG4.png
