Is the update site crawl feature following robot.txt rules?
-
I noticed that most of the errors would not be occurring if Moz's tool followed the rules implemented in sites robots.txt. Has anyone else seen this problem and do you know if Moz will fix this?
-
I'm not a 100% sure about it, but probably in specific cases you want to have your own statements for Rogerbot.
-
No because I thought Moz followed GoogleBot rules. Is this not the case?

Hi James.
Do you also have rules for the crawler of Moz in there? You can learn more about Roger here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot

I have recently switzed to SSL on ramxpert.dk, now Moz is not able to crawl the site anymore
Hi Moz I have recently switzed to SSL on ramxpert.dk, now Moz is not able to crawl anymore. When I look at the crawl report there is just one fault displayed: "403 : Received 403 (Forbidden) error response for page." How can i solve this issue asap? I was not aware that there would be any issues with moz when activating a SSL certificate on the site. The campaign with the problem is: ramxpert.dk. Regards

Moz Crawl Test says pages have no internal links
Greetings, I am working on a website, https://www.nasscoinc.com, and ran a Moz Crawl Test on it. According to the crawl test, only 2 of the website's hundreds of pages are receiving internal links. When I run a similar test on the site using Screaming Frog, I see that most of the pages have at least one internal link. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before with the crawl test; and there is a way to get the crawl test to see the internal links? Thanks!
