Why wont rogerbot crawl my page?
-
How can I find out why rogerbot won't crawl an individual page I give it to crawl for page-grader? Google, bing, yahoo all crawl pages just fine, but I put in one of the internal pages fo page-grader to check for keywords and it gave me an F -- it isn't crawling the page because the keyword IS in the title and it says it isn't. How do I diagnose the problem?

Thanks. The robots.txt file was the problem. It originally (yesterday) excluded rogerbot (by default) and then I remembered that and put it in as rogerbot but that didn't work. So I changed it to RogerBot and that didn't work. Today I removed the robots.txt file completely and it worked. Then I put it back with rogerbot and it is working.
It APPEARS that maybe it read the robots.txt yesterday before i put in rogerbot and for some reason didn't read it after I put it in. Will never know but it is now working.
Thanks for the help!

I know in robots.txt any URL's are case sensitive, I am not sure about user agents (bots/crawlers) but you do have RogerBot spelled with a capitol "B", changing it to lower case (Rogerbot) may fix the issue.
Another thing to test would be to simply remove the mass exclusion just to see if Rogerbot somehow is being blocked by it. Let me know how it goes.
User-agent: * Disallow: / -
Hi sure, thanks. This page shouldn't have a speed issue but maybe you can see what the issue is:

Thanks.

Hi Theodore,
Last time I looked at this issue for another community member they had a site that had huge images and slow script. This decreased the load time of the page and Roger just got frustrated. Rogerbot is not as sophisticated as the huge Search Engines crawlers and can easily be put off.
As Martijn asked, for us to help we really would have to look at the site to pick out possible issues.

Hi Theodore, could you share the specific URL with us so we could help you diagnose what the issue could be?

Moz Site Crawl can't index WIX sites
We've been attempting to work on some SEO for a new potential client however they are using a WIX site. We've noticed that Moz SEO tools will not index any WIX sites. e.g. https://www.sharonradisch.com/ (which is one of their case studies). Anyone seen this that can offer any advice? Thanks,

Moz says my pages don't have rel="canonical" but they do
Hi, I've just had my initial report from Moz and it says my pages are missing rel="canonical". I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin on my WordPress site which adds these automatically. I have also checked the source code for my pages and can see rel="canonical". What has gone wrong please?

901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
Hi Everyone, I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them. I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank? Do you have recommendations or ideas? Thanks so much.

Duplicate Page Content and Title
Hi. New to Moz here. I really like all of the tools. Moz recently sent me a Crawl Report and flagged every page as a duplicate content and duplicate title. The only reason/difference between the pages it flagged is the beginning of the URL. The crawl report shows the http://websitename.com and then http://www.websitename.com/ Is there something I'm missing about setting up my website? You can use either form to browse to my website, with the www and without. Why would Moz flag that as a duplicate? Scott

My site is not being fully crawled
Our site has been crawled several times by RogerBot but each time only 6 pages are crawled even though we have more than 100 pages. Do I need to submit my sitemap.xml to Moz?

Page appearing multiple times in Warnings report
In reviewing my Moz warnings report, one page is appearing multiple times because the title is longer than recommended. Is this a bug in Moz? The page is appearing with a number of different URLs, despite there being a rel="canonical" tag. The page's canonical URL is: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/ And in the warnings report I'm seeing variations like this: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/?replytocom=26539 which are clearly links from the comments section.
