605 : Page banned by robots.txt

Hello everyone,
I need experts help here, Please suggest, I am receiving crawl errors for my site that is , X-Robots-Tag: header, or tag.
my robots.txt file is:
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Hey there! I just followed up on the message you sent into our help team, but I wanted to also post the answer here for reference.
It looks like the robots.txt file may have recently been changed for the site because I created a new campaign for the subdomain and I am not getting that same error. You should no longer see this error on your next campaign update or you could create a new campaign and you would no longer see the error there.
I did notice that you ran a number of crawl tests on the site since the campaign update, but the important thing to realize is that the crawl test can be cached for up to 48 hours. (I removed the crawls in this version of the screenshot for privacy.) We also cache the crawl tests from campaign crawls, so it looks like the first crawl test you ran on the 29th was cached from your campaign crawl and the two subsequent crawl tests were cached from that first crawl test.
Again, I wanted to note that it looks like there are only links to about 2 other pages (terms and privacy) that are on the specific subdomain you are tracking, so we aren't able to crawl beyond those pages. When you limit a campaign to a specific subdomain, we can only access and crawl links that are within the same subdomain.

I am at a lost, I can't find the issue. Let us know what Moz says.

I actually have come across a handful URLs that are NoIndex, I'll DM you a list once complete.
I can't be certain this is the root of the problem (I've never seen this error in the crawl report), but based on the error you said you're getting, I believe it's a great starting point.

Hi Logan Ray
thank you for detailed guide, all tools bot are working perfectly except moz's. My robots meta is index, follow and my robots.txt is disallow for none for all user agents. Still there is confusion that why moz is showing crawl error. I have now emailed to moz. Let's see what they reply. I will share that.
thank you

Hi,
This sounds like it's more related to the meta robots tag, not the robots.txt file.
Try this:
- Run a Screaming Frog crawl on your site
- Once complete, go to the Directives tab
- Look for 'NoIndex' in the 'Meta Robots 1' column (should be the 3rd column)
- If you see anything marked with that tag, remove them - unless of course you need them there for a reason, in which case you should also block that page in your robots.txt file
-
Are you able to provide a link to site (DM me if you don't want it posted on the forum)

I am receiving crawl error for moz only.
There is no error at google's search console. Also, I have tested at google's robots.txt testing tool. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/robots-testing-too
My robots.txt file is with no slash.
User-agent: *
Disallow: -
Hi Bhomes,
Try clearing you robots.txt of any content, a robots.txt with:
User-agent: *
Disallow:/
Is blocking everything from crawling your site. See: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062598?hl=en for testing and more details on robots.txt

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash

On-page optimization
I have a list of the top 350 keywords sending volume to my site, sorted by volume. I am using your On-Page Optimization tool to look at the top 10 keywords and the grade for each of the relevant pages on the website. So for "hard wood flooring," I am searching for that term on Google and finding the first listing for my site lumberliquidators.com that comess up. Then I paste that page link into the On-Page Optimizer. Is this the best way to do this to determine performance for the most relevant page? Moz gave this keyword an F (home page) even though LL came up #2 in the organic Google rankings.

MozBar "Page Load Time" result -140... seconds
Hello all, I have gone through a lot of work to optimize the page size and load time for my site (http://goo.gl/0SYrns) Here is the result: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140618_6V_PDZ/ And my competitor (http://goo.gl/j7YBcn😞 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140618_TN_PGP/ According to that tool (and many others) my site is considerably faster than his. However, when I check in the MozBar, the result for mu site is less than 0, around 1 second but his is -1403106240.403 seconds. So how do I get to such a result? I did everything, optimization, cds, etc...

Why my on-page report card won't improve?
For my page www.homedestination.com/Minneapolis-homes-for-sale.html, Moz ranks the page as an "F" for the keyword "Minneapolis home buyers". All data in the report card is from months ago. using the "Grade my On-Page Optimization" button fails to show any updates - even after months. For example the title is actually "Minneapolis Homes For Sale| buying a Minneapolis home | Homebuyers" while Moz says it is ""Minneapolis Homes For Sale | Home Destination | Jenna Thuening" Moz says the description tag is "Realtor Jenna Theuning helping real estate buyers find Minnetonka homes for sale, owner of Home Destination. CDPE also helps with foreclosure and short sales buying." and "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, and Minneapolis upscale real estate, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination"" when it is actually "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, Minneapolis home buyers, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination." Additionally, my weekly ranking reports seems "stuck" and continues to show many "F" ranked keywords that have been updated for some time. Amy advice on how to see improvements?
