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?

List of products, also on home
What happens with sites that have the complete list of products in the home page and in the "Products" section. Would like to know your opinion as web developers and users and like SEO professionals. I'm in duality like web developer, somehow my subconscience is telling me that is stupid to have it on both places... And the home page is getting nice results and comments from the users, so, would consider quitting the "Products" teaser view. But of course, eliminate the "Products" section is somehow... un natural.... And what happens with SEO, I read somewhere that it's not very good to have all the "rank" spread in so many links in the home page... I don't even understand it completely or neven sure they said rank or juice..., but it's something that is concerning me... We are talking about 20 products, that can grow. I'm looking to have a better SEO, but also the UX is very important, even more than SEO (I know good UX is better SEO). Thanks in advance to any contribution.

GA stopped tracking traffic, suddenly, why¿? :-/
2 days ago GA stopped receiving data. It only stopped for one account of all my projects. At this moment there are 5 persons navigating the site and these days there where numerous visitors as they contacted the support team thru the site. GA says that it's receiving the code, hw, I checked it twice. The tracking code is located below the footer, in the body. It was there for few years.... I also checked if there is some js conflict, negative. Is there something that could make the tracking to stop? Does anybody experienced similar problems¿? Should I be worried...¿? (and with SEOmoz server with issues not sure when will see new results.......) EDIT: In Web Master Tools I see results for indexing, with yesterday date, so I assume that the site crawling is ok and must be GA issue.

Root Domain Campaign track subdomains¿?
I have set the campaign for the Root domain, hw, I'm receiving issues for both subdomains, demo and www. Our site is set to redirect all non www traffic to www, except demo, who has its own rules. Is that normal? Should I contact the support team? Thanks
