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,

Allow only Rogerbot, not googlebot nor undesired access
I'm in the middle of site development and wanted to start crawling my site with Rogerbot, but avoid googlebot or similar to crawl it. Actually mi site is protected with login (basic Joomla offline site, user and password required) so I thought that a good solution would be to remove that limitation and use .htaccess to protect with password for all users, except Rogerbot. Reading here and there, it seems that practice is not very recommended as it could lead to security holes - any other user could see allowed agents and emulate them. Ok, maybe it's necessary to be a hacker/cracker to get that info - or experienced developer - but was not able to get a clear information how to proceed in a secure way. The other solution was to continue using Joomla's access limitation for all, again, except Rogerbot. Still not sure how possible would that be. Mostly, my question is, how do you work on your site before wanting to be indexed from Google or similar, independently if you use or not some CMS? Is there some other way to perform it?

Rogerbot does not catch all existing 4XX Errors
Hi I experienced that Rogerbot after a new Crawl presents me new 4XX Errors, so why doesn't he tell me all at once? I have a small static site and had 9 crawls ago 10 4XX Errors, so I tried to fix them all.

The next crawl Rogerbot fount still 5 Errors so I thought that I did not fix them all... but this happened now many times so that I checked before the latest crawl if I really fixed all the errors 101%. Today, although I really corrected 5 Errors, Rogerbot digs out 2 "new" Errors. So does Rogerbot not catch all the errors that have been on my site many weeks before? Pls see the screenshot how I was chasing the errors 😉 404.png0 -

SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty Tool been down for a few days?
Hi All, I notice the SEO moz keyword difficulty tool has been down for a few days!!! I know from support that they say it is going to be a "while" till it fixed, but some type of estimation on how long it will be will be good. Also in regards to the types of accounts, why do the top accounts have the same limitations as the 79/month tool in regards to the keyword tool reports (50 max and 5 per scan)? I mean this is probably a wider question for the SEOmoz team need to answer. Kind Regards.

Is seomoz rogerbot only crawling the subdomains by links or as well by id?
I´m new at seomoz and just set up a first campaign. After the first crawling i got quite a few 404 errors due to deleted (spammy) forum threads. I was sure there are no links to these deleted threads so my question is weather the seomoz rogerbot is only crawling my subdomains by links or as well by ids (the forum thread ids are serially numbered from 1 to x). If the rogerbot crawls as well serially numbered ids do i have to be concerned by the 404 error on behalf of the googlebot as well?

Campaign Churning for Two Days
I started a campaign 5/11/2012. It's still churning. Here's what the Crawl Diagnostics Summary has said for the two days. Starter Crawl in Progress! Processing Crawl Data Started: May 11th, 2012 To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days. Should I / can I stop this campaign? How?

What time of day are keyword rankings updated
The keyword rankings in one of my campaigns update on Tuesday. It looks like they updated today but when I downloaded to CSV, some say last Tuesday. Is this because they didn't change or are they still updating? Today is Tuesday. i.e., do they update at a specific time and if so, what time?

Can I change the crawl day ?
Hi All I hope there is a simple solution to this - we have a number of campaigns setup which are all crawled, and therefore updated, on different days of the week. We review these weekly and it would be much easier if they were all crawled on the same day. Is it possible to change the crawl day for some campaigns? Thanks Roy
