Crawl error robots.txt
-
Hello, when trying to access the site crawl to be able to analyze our page, the following error appears:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Nov 15, 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.
Can help us?
Thanks!

@Linda-Vassily yes

The page is: https://frizzant.com/ And don't have noindex

Thanks Lind and Tawny! i 'll check it

Hey there!
This is a tricky one — the answer to these questions is almost always specific to the site and the Campaign. For this Campaign, it looks like your robots.txt file returned a 403 forbidden response to our crawler: https://www.screencast.com/t/f42TiSKp
Do you use any kind of DDOS protection software? That can give our tools trouble and cause us to be unable to access the robots.txt file for your site.
I'd recommend checking with your web developer to make sure that your robots.txt file is accessible to our user-agent, rogerbot, and returning a 200 OK status for that user-agent. If you're still having trouble, it'll be easier to assist you if you contact us through help@moz.com, where we can take a closer look at your account and Campaign directly.

I just popped that into ScreamingFrog and I don't see a noindex on that page, but I do see it on some other pages. (Though that shouldn't stop other pages from being crawled.)
Maybe it was just a glitch that happened to occur at the time of the crawl. You could try doing another crawl and see if you get the same error.

The page is: http://www.yogaenmandiram.com/ And don't have noindex
-
Hmm. How about on the page itself? Is there a noindex?
-
Yes, our robots.txt it's very simple:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php -
That just says that you are blocking the Moz crawler. Take a look at your robots.txt file and see if you have any exclusions in there that might cause that page not to be crawled. (Try going to yoursite.com/robots.txt or you can learn more about this topic here.)

Sorry, the image don't appear
Try now -
It looks like the error you are referring to did not come through in your question. Could you try editing it?

Solved Duplicate content error affecting 142 pages
Hello,
Product Support | | EISMarketing
Recently I noticed a new duplicate error notification.
This page: https://www.earley.com/insights/internet-things-and-product-data
is flagged as 'duplicate content' with 142 affected pages.
Here's an example of one of the affected pages:
https://www.earley.com/insights/how-ontologies-drive-digital-transformation
This is not an ecommerce site. The affected pages are blog posts. We are pretty prolific writers and over the years we have produced nearly 300 articles. We are a consulting firm and the articles are about our area of expertise and cover a wide range of topics within that space.
I just don't understand why this would be flagged as duplicate or what I'm supposed to do with this information!
Help!
Thanks!

My site crawl has been in progress since last week
Hi there, I've been waiting on my site crawl to complete since Friday (it's Tuesday now), but it still has the 'in progress' notification at the top. Is it normal for it to take over 3 days? Or is there something holding it up?

Error Code 612 with Squarespace
Hi Moz community,
Product Support | | BrownBox
I'm getting an apparent error code 612 on my homepage. I've checked my robot.txt file with https://httpstatus.io/ as well as https://webmaster.yandex.com/ like others have suggested, but they are both showing nothing wrong. Is this something to do with square space? Is it incompatible with Moz? My site is https://brownbox.ca Thanks.0 -

Why is Moz Crawl Diagnostics labelling pages as duplicate when they appear to be different?
Moz Crawl Diagnostics is flagging some pages on the Doorfit website as duplicate, yet the page content is completely different and not identical. Example. Page: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/locks-security/secondary-security Duplicate: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/seals-and-sealants?cat=279 Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be the case? Thanks
