Crawl Diagnostics Summary Problem
-
We added our website a Robots.txt file and there are pages blocked by robots.txt. Crawl Diagnostics Summary page shows there is no page blocked by Robots.txt. Why?
-
Hey there,
Thanks for the question. How you have your robots.txt set is actually preventing all bots from even touching on those pages, not just the engines.
If you had a directive allowing RogerBot access to those pages it would be able to touch on them and register that they are blocked from the Search Engines in the robots.txt.
Since our crawler strictly adheres to the robots.txt file you won't have anything populated there.I hope that makes sense. Feel free to reach out if you need more information.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks Federico,
Can we use meta robots noindex and robots.txt together?
-
I am guessing here, but Moz crawler does not respect your robots.txt file. Instead, if you want pages not to be crawled, try using the meta robots noindex for a change and see what happens.

Why did the crawl last night not show the same results i see in google?
Last night my keywords were crawled and it shows me that a key word is ranked 14. For 3 days now it has been rank 4 or 5. Is there a reason this is not accurate? I have not checked the rest of my keywords so i am not sure about those. Thanks

Campaign Not Crawling
I set up my first 5 campaigns and one is not crawling beyond one-page. It's been over 48 hours. This site has nearly 3.500 pages the others much less, however, this shouldn't make any difference. I searched for the problem and couldn't find it so I hope this question isn't redundant. Comments and advice would be appreciated.

How can I change (specifically, decrease) the reporting/crawling frequency of the keyword ranking?
It always seem to compare the standings based on the week before, which confuses the issue when I'm only reporting monthly or quarterly. Is there currently (or might there be in the future) a way to set this so that the comparison is based on a time period that I specify?
