Hi there!
Generally speaking, it's much easier to block crawlers unilaterally than to allow just one specific crawler and no others onto your website. (It's also worth mentioning that if Rogerbot is the only crawler with access to your site, you risk falling off the radar on Google's index! Yikes!) Here's a great post about when, why and how to block crawlers from your site: http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2067357/bye-bye-crawler-blocking-parasites
I'm by no means an SEO expert, but that article pointed to http://www.robotstxt.org/ which looks like a great resource for learning more about web robots, when to block them, and how to do it. I hope they help!

Thanks for the response. Is it possible to open our site only for RogerBot ? Would be glad if you can share details of that

Hi there!
Tawny from the Help Team here! It looks like in this case Rogerbot was blocked from crawling your site! When he tried, the server returned a 403 Forbidden error. If Rogerbot can't crawl your site, that might be an indication that other crawlers might be having trouble, too.This is probably something you should ask your webmaster to help you out with. They should be able to unblock Rogerbot and let the crawl begin!
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to write in to us on the Help Team!

There is a similar question here - https://moz.com/community/q/why-rogerbot-can-t-crawl-site-https-unplag-com. The advice is similar - check your logfiles for Rogerbot / Moz and see what the response is.
When I checked the other question I noticed that there was an issue with the configuration of the name servers - it is possible that it's a coincidence but you seem to have issues with your name servers as well: http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.practo.com×tamp=1445520589&view=1
You might want to correct that.Dirk

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?
When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

How can I be sure Moz Campaign for blog is working?
I set up a Moz Campaign to track my blog domain (made a separate one for our website) and added in keywords I've optimized our blog posts for. I've spent about 2 months optimizing pages and there's been no change in the numbers I see in the dashboard (specifically Search Visibility and Top National Keywords) and Rankings module. It all basically says either 0 or '--'. I think I've set this campaign up right because the website campaign has been changing and showing different results in the same amount of time. I'm going to ask the stupid question -- is this because I've set up the blog campaign wrong, my site is blocking Moz from accessing blog data or my SEO efforts simply aren't working? Please help. I need a sanity check here. Thank so much in advance!

How Does Moz Shoot Whiteboard Fridays?
Okay, sort of a meta question here... My company, a global test preparation company, is looking into new ways to deliver online course content (both pre-recorded and live streaming). Around the office we have looked at dozens of examples of companies that do video presenting or teaching, and then I realized that I watch a great example of high-quality online video every week: Whiteboard Fridays! They look and sound fantastic! Moz team, what are you willing to share re: the setup you use? I'm looking for specific direction about lighting, sound, and equipment. Anything you share would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!
