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

On-Page Grader "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible."
We have a new client with a squarespace page. http://www.mountainhouseestate.com The Moz On-Page grader returns the error "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for all pages. Possibly related, Google seems to hate their site. Even a search for "mountain house estate" returns lousy results. Bing/Yahoo has no problem with it.

Crawl Diagnostics: How many pages (deep) will it crawl for dup content
Does anyone know how deep the crawl diagnostics will crawl when searching for dup content? Will it crawl the entire site, or will it only crawl "x" amount of pages? Thanks!

Moz's on-page grader
Hello, I am having an issue with Moz's on-page grader. Grading the page, http://www.babyklar.dk/tigerspring/26-ugers-springet.html for the keyword 'Tigerspring 26 uger' I am receiving the error message: 'Exact keyword is used in page title' - tagging it as a highly important but easy fix. But I only have the words "Tigerspring 26 uger" in the title, so how can this not grade as Exact keyword? Is there somthing wrong with the system? Or is it me? Thanks very much. Best regards

MOZ On Page Grader Not Seeing Changes
Hello all, I've been doing some SEO work recently and using the really handy A-F rating on MOZ on page grader as a guide. It's worked great so far on my sites up until today. I've made some small changes to a site such as the title and MOZ isn't seeing these changes. For example if I were to put 'banana' in the title of one of my other sites and re-run the on page grader with 'banana' as a keyword, instantly MOZ would say this keyword is used in the title once. I've done the same to another site and the same thing hasn't happened. I did a test and wrote all the keywords from the title in the on page grader and it still said they appear 0 times in the title. Am I missing something here? The site is different from the others, it's flat html and not CMS, but the SEO changes I've made are still the same. Thanks!

When i view the page source and ctrl-f and search for ''wedding venues bath'', it only finds 8. Is there an issue with the On Page Grader atm?

Duplicate page content
Hi guys the feedback form my campaign suggests I have to much duplicate page content. I’ve had a look at the CSV file but it doesn’t seem to be abundantly clear as to which pages on my site have the duplicate content. Can anyone tell which columns I need to refer to on the sheet, to ascertain this information. Also if the content is only slightly different, will Google still consider it to be duplicate? I look forward to hearing from you

Duplicate Page Content Report on MOZ
Hi, I am just wondering as to the accuracy of this report - does it pick up all the duplicate on page content? Or is there a limit? We have an ecommerce store with a lot of copied and pasted descriptions - just wondering if there is a limit on how much the moz crawler picks up? In other words, once we fix what MOZ has detected, will there be more detected because it is limited to display say up to 200?? Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks
