      Hello,

      A client of mine is going through a bit of a crisis. A developer (at their end) added Disallow: / to the robots.txt file. Luckily the SEOMoz crawl ran a couple of days after this happened and alerted me to the error. The robots.txt file was quickly updated but the client has found the vast majority of their rankings have gone.

      It took a further 5 days for GWMT to file that the robots.txt file had been updated and since then we have "Fetched as Google" and "Submitted URL and linked pages" in GWMT.

      In GWMT it is still showing that that vast majority of pages are blocked in the "Blocked URLs" section, although the robots.txt file below it is now ok.

      I guess what I want to ask is:

      • What else is there that we can do to recover these rankings quickly?
      • What time scales can we expect for recovery?
      • More importantly has anyone had any experience with this sort of situation and is full recovery normal?

      Thanks in advance!

          Hi Antonio,

          I would take a look at your entire site using

          One of my very favorite tools this tool will crawl your site and tell you if you have no follow's or other issues that would cause Google bot have trouble indexing your site.

          Simply put your sites URL in the box presented in the tool you can find in the link here

          http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/

          Then use link 2

          Displays amount of links (internal, external, nofollow, image, etc.) found on webpage.

          http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/linkcount/

          You can then see if there is a no follow that might be creating a real problem inside of a page using the two URLs you should be a will to get about of this.

          Check this much of your site is you possibly can with this as it will show you A lot of information that would be very relevant as to if your site can be crawled correctly or not

          This third tool Will show you if your robots.txt file is still blocking all or part of your website the nice thing about this tool is is is built to make her about star text files however if you simply put your URL in the top and hit the upload button it will pull your robots.txt file this is very helpful when making comparisons between changes that have been made or you wish to make

          http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/robots-txt-generator/

          Two check out your robot.txt file against what could be something blocking it I think that will

          http://moz.com/blog/interactive-guide-to-robots-txt

          http://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

          http://tools.seobook.com/robots-txt/

          http://yoast.com/x-robots-tag-play/

          https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag?hl=de

          http://www.searchenginejournal.com/x-robots-tag-simple-alternate-robots-txt-meta-tag/67138/

          A citation that I hope will help you is the not too noticeable difference between allowing everything and not allowing everything simply having a / after disallow: Will tell Google that you do not want to be showing up in their search engine results

          Simply put I have the information below websites by default are set up with

          Allow: /

          Example Robots.txt Format

          Allow indexing of everything

          User-agent: *

          Disallow:

          or

          User-agent: *

          Allow: /

          Disallow indexing of everything

          User-agent: *
          Disallow: /

          Disallow indexing of a specific folder

          User-agent: *
          Disallow: /folder/

          Please remember there are multiple ways to block a website for instance

          PHP-based websites are extremely popular and if you're using a WordPress or agenda for many other

          header("X-Robots-Tag: noindex", true);

          I want to remind you what Tom Roberts  said in the first response about using Twitter I have quoted him here however you can read it at the top of the Page below the first question

          The most frequently crawled domain on the web is Twitter.  If you could legitimately get your key URLs tweeted, either by yourselves or others, this may encourage the Google crawler to revisit the URLs, and consequently re index them.  There won't be any harm SEO wise in sending tweets with your URLs, it's a quick and free method and so may be worth giving it a shot

          Hope This Helps,

          Thomas

            Hi Antonio,

            Sorry to hear you have had the same problem, due to our clients nature this error by the developer cost them a load of lost revenue.

            In answer to your questions:

            1. It took 19 days in total to recover

            2. We took everyone's advice and implemented them but I am unsure what actually helped. I think working work GWMT is the best thing for it. Make sure you submit for a re-crawl as soon as possible and see what is still blocked

            I know how scary the situation is but things will go back to normal. Its just a matter of playing the waiting game really, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

            Rikki

              Hi Rikki,

              I know it's been some time since your post, however I just found it because a couple of weeks ago my developer did exactly the same.

              It's been 2 weeks now and our traffic is still divided by 4 compared with what it used to be. My questions are:

              1/ How long it finally took you to completely recover your previous traffic levels (if you finally did)

              2/ Did you apply any of the advices from other bloggers? What would you recommend to do from your experience?

              Thanks in advance. I am really worried at this moment, since we've got a peak campaign coming on very soon.

              Regards,

              Antonio (Citricamente)

                Hi Rikki,
                I really want to say great job though with those numbers. It's always good to see somebody pulling positive ROI. Good work!

                If I may ask what type of development do specialize in if you have a specialty?

                My reason for asking is there are some excellent hosts that will allow you to run a staging server that changes everything like robots.txt back to follow and index when you hit the production button. Other hosts have similar methods.

                In fact, that might be an idea that's worth a little bit of money. A nice WordPress plug-in that gives you a constant reminder here in the development phase and does the swap then deletes itself?

                Or use a managed WordPress host if it's WordPress.
                You can do so many cool things would git these days.
                I am extremely happy you have found out there's nothing to worry about if it is simply the tags you will have your rank back before you know it.

                you can also use Webmaster tools on the manual setting and put it to Max I have done it on test sites, and the site was indexed just as well I would simply make sure I had a reminder telling me to return it to normal after.

                You should set the rel="canonical as well/

                Glad I was able to help,

                Thomas

                  Hi guys,

                  Thanks very much for the responses. I guess my gut feeling was right that everything would come back to normal but just needed some reassurance.

                  I have made real progress with this client going from an online brought in revenue of £15k per month at the start of the year to £105k last month but it is all phone based so at the moment his call centre is like a ghost town - its a shame that can happen when a developer is trying to block his own dev sub domain and ends up blocking the whole thing. Just hope it doesn't take too long.

                  We will certainly try the social media route to see if that speeds things along.

                    please look and see that I updated my response I did I copied from a dictation software's writing pad and only copied a part of it when I meant to copy all of it

                    please read and let me know if I can be of help

                    sincerely,

                    Thomas

                      Please forgive my 1st comment I the button too early and use the dictation software so I save it to one page then paste to another I am sincerely sorry I got this part on there without the entire thing.

                      Send me the domain either privately if you can or through this chat I would be more than happy to look into it for you. I can tell you I have made the no follow no index mistake myself showing a intern something on our own site and talk about it here below.

                      I would also not hesitate to use their DNS tool to check that everything there is okay

                      Another tool or tools I would strongly recommend and you can access for free are the excellent Internet marketing ninjas

                      The words used in the metadata tags, in body text and in anchor text in external and internal links all play important roles in on page search engine optimization (SEO). The On-Page Optimization Analysis Free SEO Tool lets you quickly see the important SEO content on your webpage URL the same way a search engine spider views your data. This free SEO onpage optimization tool is multiple onpage SEO tools in one, helpful for reviewing the following onpage optimization information in the source code on the page:

                      • Metadata tool: Displays text in title tags and meta elements
                      • Keyword density tool: Reveals onpage SEO keyword statistics for linked and unlinked content
                      • Keyword optimization tool: Analyzes on page optimization by showing the number of words used in the content, including anchor text of internal and external links
                      • Link Accounting tool: Displays the number and types of links used
                      • Header check tool: Shows HTTP Status Response codes for links
                      • Source code tool: Provides quick access to on-page HTML source code

                      if you are talking about just the index and no follow

                      I can now happily say I have done this identical thing.

                      I have done the exact same thing. I can tell you I was showing somebody how to use the WordPress SEO plug-in when I got distracted and simply did not change the settings back to follow and index. So approximately 2 to 3 days later I noticed a huge loss in ranking year for the company brand name.

                      (Luckily this was mine not a clients)

                      It took approximately two days after I changed the settings back to normal follow and index them submitted my entire website to Google's Webmaster tools even clicking yes when asked the index all large change
                      before I knew it all the rankings had returned back to normal literally the keywords I was tracking returned within the normal fluctuation I see as they were in many cases sometimes better & sometimes little bit worse what I had feared they never would come back at all.

                      Sincerely,

                      Thomas

                      Believe me when I say I was extremely thankful for this and don't see why you will not get the same results with your site.

                      I hope this is a simple a mistake of just that one problem like mine that's the only thing I can give you a testimony of. I would say you have nothing to worry about. But remember to tell Google Webmaster tools I also did tell Bing but that's up to you

                        Should be as quick as google re-crawls the robots.txt.

                        Best thing you can do is add a couple of links to sites that are crawled daily, to encourage google to visit your clients site as soon as possible

                        Could be:

                        • twitter
                        • facebook
                        • newspaper sites - comments
                        • and the like

                          Hey there

                          I've seen this before and in almost all cases the rankings were returned to their previous state, give or take maybe 1 or 2 places (which would be normal SERP flux).

                          Unfortunately, I've found that this can often take weeks and there's no real sure-fire way of getting Google to update it quicker.  Theoretically, to speed things up you want to get the crawler revisiting the URLs more and more often.  Fresh backlinks would do this, but obviously you can't game that sort of thing for web spam reasons.  You could also try pinging devices, such as GooglePing, but I'm not convinced by their effectiveness.

                          The most frequently crawled domain on the web is Twitter.  If you could legitimately get your key URLs tweeted, either by yourselves or others, this may encourage the Google crawler to revisit the URLs, and consequently reindex them.  There won't be any harm SEO wise in sending tweets with your URLs, it's a quick and free method and so may be worth giving it a shot.

                          Hope this helps you - I've often found you can't control these things but hopefully some of these theories might work.  In the long-run, however, the rankings will return and so for normal SEO purposes, create content and links as per usual.

                            404 Errors flaring on nonexistent or unpublished pages – should we be concerned for SEO?

                            Hello! We keep getting "critical crawler" notifications on Moz because of firing 404 codes. We've checked each page and know that we are not linking to them anywhere on our site, they are not published and they are not indexed on Google. It's only happened since we migrated our blog to Hubspot so we think it has something to do with the test pages their developers had set up and that they are just lingering in our code somewhere. However, we are still concerned having these codes fire implies negative consequences for our SEO. Is this the case? Should we be concerned about these 404 codes despite the pages from those URLs not actually existing? Thank you!
                            Chloe

                            [Very Urgent] More 100 "/search/adult-site-keywords" Crawl errors under Search Console

                            I just opened my G Search Console and was shocked to see more than 150 Not Found errors under Crawl errors. Mine is a Wordpress site (it's consistently updated too): Here's how they show up: Example 1: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html/feed/rss2 Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html Example 2 (this surprised me the most when I looked at the linked from data): URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/3/ Linked From: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/2/ (this is showing as if it's from our own site) http://a-spammy-adult-site.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html Example 3: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html How do I address this issue?

                            Thousands of 503 errors in GSC for pages not important to organic search - Is this a problem?

                            Hi, folks A client of mine now has roughly 30 000 503-errors (found in the crawl error section of GSC). This is mostly pages with limited offers and deals. The 503 error seems to occur when the offers expire, and when the page is of no use anymore. These pages are not important for organic search, but gets traffic from direct and newsletters, mostly. My question:
                            Does having a high number of 503 pages reported in GSC constitute a problem in terms of organic ranking for the domain and the category and product pages (the pages that I want to rank for organically)? If it does, what is the best course of action to mitigate the problem? Looking excitingly forward to your answers to this 🙂 Sigurd

                            If Robots.txt have blocked an Image (Image URL) but the other page which can be indexed has this image, how is the image treated?

                            Hi MOZers, This probably is a dumb question but I have a case where the robots.tags has an image url blocked but this image is used on a page (lets call it Page A) which can be indexed. If the image on Page A has an Alt tags, then how is this information digested by crawlers? A) would Google totally ignore the image and the ALT tags information? OR B) Google would consider the ALT tags information? I am asking this because all the images on the website are blocked by robots.txt at the moment but I would really like website crawlers to crawl the alt tags information. Chances are that I will ask the webmaster to allow indexing of images too but I would like to understand what's happening currently. Looking forward to all your responses 🙂 Malika

                            Mobile Googlebot vs Desktop Googlebot - GWT reports - Crawl errors

                            Hi Everyone, I have a very specific SEO question. I am doing a site audit and one of the crawl reports is showing tons of 404's for the "smartphone" bot and with very recent crawl dates. If our website is responsive, and we do not have a mobile version of the website I do not understand why the desktop report version has tons of 404's and yet the smartphone does not. I think I am not understanding something conceptually. I think it has something to do with this little message in the Mobile crawl report. "Errors that occurred only when your site was crawled by Googlebot (errors didn't appear for desktop)." If I understand correctly, the "smartphone" report will only show URL's that are not on the desktop report. Is this correct?

                            Disallow URLs ENDING with certain values in robots.txt?

                            Is there any way to disallow URLs ending in a certain value? For example, if I have the following product page URL: http://website.com/category/product1, and I want to disallow /category/product1/review, /category/product2/review, etc. without disallowing the product pages themselves, is there any shortcut to do this, or must I disallow each gallery page individually?

                            Can an incorrect 301 redirect or .htaccess code cause 500 errors?

                            Google Webmaster Tools is showing the following message: _Googlebot couldn't access the contents of this URL because the server had an internal error when trying to process the request. These errors tend to be with the server itself, not with the request.  _ Before I contact the person who manages the server and hosting (essentially asking if the error is on his end) is there a chance I could have created an issue with an incorrect 301 redirect or other code added to .htaccess incorrectly? Here is the 301 redirect code I am using in .htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/.]+/)*(index.html|default.asp)\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(([^/.]+/)*)(index|default) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.example.com)?$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] Could adding the following code after that in the .htaccess potentially cause any issues? BEGIN EXPIRES <ifmodule mod_expires.c="">ExpiresActive On
                            ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 days"
                            ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week"
                            ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 month"
                            ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
                            ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
                            ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
                            ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
                            ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week"
                            ExpiresByType application/x-icon "access plus 1 year"</ifmodule> END EXPIRES (Edit) I'd like to add that there is a Wordpress blog on the site too at www.example.com/blog with the following code in it's .htaccess: BEGIN WordPress <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
                            RewriteBase /blog/
                            RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
                            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
                            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
                            RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]</ifmodule> END WordPress Thanks

                            Blocking Pages Via Robots, Can Images On Those Pages Be Included In Image Search

                            Hi! I have pages within my forum where visitors can upload photos.  When they upload photos they provide a simple statement about the photo but no real information about the image,definitely not enough for the page to be deemed worthy of being indexed.  The industry however is one that really leans on images and having the images in Google Image search is important to us. The url structure is like such:  domain.com/community/photos/~username~/picture111111.aspx I wish to block the whole folder from Googlebot to prevent these low quality pages from being added to Google's main SERP results.  This would be something like this: User-agent: googlebot Disallow: /community/photos/ Can  I disallow Googlebot specifically rather than just using User-agent:  * which would then allow googlebot-image to pick up the photos?  I plan on configuring a way to add meaningful alt attributes and image names to assist in visibility, but the actual act of blocking the pages and getting the images picked up... Is this possible? Thanks! Leona
