Why is Moz unable to crawl my site?
-
Was hoping someone could advise why Moz is unable to crawl my site at https://www.oceaniacruises.com
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Oct 5, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Any thoughts on the above question?

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately, our IT team has not been able to replicate the issue and can access the robots.txt file on the server side.
Is it possible to get more information (Moz logs, traces, etc…) from the error as a 503 error could be a result of multiple issues?

Hello I'm getting the same error as seen above on my website http://www.hadcoltd.com/. Can you please advise on what might be causing it or what I can do to fix it?
Thank You

Hey! Dave here from the Help Team.
It looks like we are getting a 503 status code when trying to access your robots.txt file. You will want to check your server logs for the response from User-agent: rogerbot/1.2 (http://moz.com/help/pro/what-is-rogerbot-, rogerbot-crawler+aardwolf@moz.com) and make sure you are not blocking us from accessing your site! Hope that helps

SSL - green padlock but Moz say there's an 804 error?
Hi, my site has a green padlock and no SSL errors but Moz are reporting an 804 error. I use CloudFlare with fairly complex settings. I've read this thread but it's quite old and I don't understand which parts of it are still valid. I'd love to know whether this can be sorted before I spend hours setting up Moz's features as if they can't crawl my site then I would obviously need to cancel my subscription. Thanks

Why can't I Ctrl + click on links on Moz any more?
I'm interested if it's just me that gets frustrated by this? I've just Ctrl + clicked a few links to open them in separate tabs and then realised that none of them had opened. I know it's been like this for a while. It's a usability issue as it goes against expected norms, and now I have to right-click and then click "Open in new tab" on each link, which is more time-consuming and frustrating. More and more websites seem to be losing their Ctrl + click on links ability (JavaScript often breaks it). I don't know if there's a Mac equivalent... Anyway, I hope that doesn't seem like I'm too angry. It just frustrates me a little and I hope it gets fixed. 🙂 Edit - I've just realised these are getting blocked by Chrome's pop-up blocker - but why? It's only an issue on a small number of websites.

Link Detox or I can use Open Site Explorer for tracking down bad links?
Here's the thing. I need to find bad external links pointing to my site. Is Link Detox the only option or I can actually use Open Site Explorer for that. If OSE is an option, please give me an idea how I need to go about it. Thanks.
