Restrict rogerbot for few days
-
Hi Team,
I have a subdomain that built in Zendesk's CRM system. Now, I want to restrict Moz crawler (rogerbot) for crawling this complete subdomain for a few days, but I am not able to edit the robots.txt file of the subdomain, because this is a shared file and Zendesk is not allowing to edit it. Could you please let me know the alternative way to restrict rogerbot to crawl this subdomain?
I am eagerly awaiting your quick response.
Thanks

Do you have FTP access and / or Yoast installed (if this is a WordPress website)?
Thanks,

Not from what I could think about for how a specific user-agent is being treated just like you would want with Rogerbot.

Is there any way to restrict via Google Tag Manager?

Hey there!
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Unfortunately you would need access to the robots.txt file in order to block us from crawling a certain subdomain. I'm sorry I can't be of anymore help here. Please do reach out to help@moz.com if you have any further questions,
Best,

How can I tell what day I added my keywords to the keyword ranking tool?
I can't tell if a keyword is newly ranking or if it just started ranking because I added it to the system. I have added keywords piecemeal over several months and I can't remember which ones I added on which date. Can anyone help me with this?

Crawl Test taking 10+ days and still "In Progress" - normal or glitch?
I started a crawl test for my large site - WallStreetOasis.com - on June 20 and still have not received my results. It still says "Crawl in Progress" 10 days later. Does this seem odd or problematic, or is this normal?

Rogerbot not showing in logs
Hi All Rogerbot has recently thrown up 403 errors for all our pages - no changes had been made to the site so I asked our ISP for assistance. They wanted to have a look at what rogerbot was doing and so went to the logs but rogerbot was not listed anywhere in the logs by name - any ideas why? Regards Craig

Blocking all robots except rogerbot
I'm in the process of working with a site under development and wish to run the SEOmoz crawl test before we launch it publicly. Unfortunately rogerbot is reluctant to crawl the site. I've set my robots.txt to disallow all bots besides rogerbot. Currently looks like this: User-agent: * Disallow: / User-agent: rogerbot Disallow: All pages within the site are meta tagged index,follow. Crawl report says: Search Engine blocked by robots.txt Yes Am I missing something here?

SEOmoz Q&A down last few days
It seems the Q&A section had some issues since the 25th. Users could post new Q&As but they were not visible to most users. Roger was caught slacking! The issue appears to be resolved at this time. I just wanted to share to anyone who asked a question the past few days who did not receive a response you may wish to repost your question as many readers will not go back and check questions from prior days.

Is there a whitelist of the RogerBot IP Addresses?
I'm all for letting Roger crawl my site, but it's not uncommon for malicious spiders to spoof the User-Agent string. Having a whitelist of Roger's IP addresses would be immensely useful!

Does it really take 3-7 days to crawl a site?
This is what you say on your website: Please note: depending on the size and speed of your site, it may take between 3 and 7 days to complete your crawl. Are you guys kidding? This is unacceptable for almost all of my deadlines, and I suspect 99% of the SEO world... you can fly to the moon faster.
