Search engine blocked by robots-crawl error by moz & GWT
-
Hello Everyone,.
For My Site I am Getting Error Code 605: Page Banned by robots.txt, X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header, or Meta Robots Tag, Also google Webmaster Also not able to fetch my site, tajsigma.com is my site
Any expert Can Help please,
Thanx
-
When was your last crawl date in Google Webmaster Tools/Search Console? It may be that your site was crawled with some kind of problem with the robots.txt and hasn't been re-crawled since.
-
Yes , Exactly
I am also worried For that only, Can you please help to identify my site problem
Thnx
-
That's very strange. The robots.txt looks fine, but here's what I see when I search for your site on Google.
-
Headers look fine and as you correctly said your robots and meta robots are also ok.
I have also noted that doing a site:www etc in google search is also returning pages for your site so again showing it is being crawled and indexed.
To all intents and purposes it looks ok to me. Someone else may be able to shed more light on the issue if they have experienced this error to this degree.

www.tajsigma.com This the Domain For Query robots 605- code
-
Just to check it that the live one, or just a test in GSC. Can you send a link to your site maybe in a PM.
-
Yes, It is Also okay there see Attached screenshot
-
Have you followed the following and in Google Search Console tried testing your robots file.
If you are allowing all, I would maybe suggest simply removing your robots.txt all together so it defaults to just crawling everything.

Thanx, Tim Holmes For Your Quick reply
But My robots.txt File is
User-agent: *
allow: /Also in All pages i have Add Meta-tag
Then After Page is Not Getting Fetched or Crawl by GWT.
Thnx

Hello Falguni,
I believe the error is saying pretty much everything you need to know. Your Robots file or robots meta would appear to be blocking your site from being crawled.
Have you checked your robots.txt file in your root - or type in http://www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt
To ensure your site is being crawled and for robots to have complete access the following should be in place
**User-agent: ***
Disallow: To exclude all robots from the entire server**User-agent: ***
Disallow: **/**If it is the a meta tag causing the issue you will require, or have it removed to default to the below.As opposed to the following combinations which could result in some areas not being indexed, crawled etc
_Hope that helps
Tim_

Crawl Depth improvements
Hi I'm checking the crawl depth report in SEM rush, and looking at pages which are 4+ clicks away. I have a lot of product pages which fall into this category. Does anyone know the impact of this? Will they never be found by Google? If there is anything in there I want to rank, I'm guessing the course of action is to move the page so it takes less clicks to get there? How important is the crawl budget and depth for SEO? I'm just starting to look into this subject Thank you

Pages Disappearing from Search
Hi, We have had a strongly ranking site since 2004. Over the past couple of days, our Google traffic has dropped by around 20% and some of our strong pages are completely disappearing from the rankings. They are still indexed, but having ranked number 1 are nowhere to be found. A number of pages still remain intact, but it seems they are increasingly disappearing. Where should we start to try and find out what is happening? Thanks

Pages Returning A 403 Error
Hiya Moz Community I hope you are all great, I have a question regarding one of my websites, I have the main site and 2 sub folder sites essentially, I decided to upgrade one of the sites and placed it in a different sub folder, I then set up a 301 redirect to the new location, so far so good, I have been having a look at my link profile using AHrefs, inside there is an SEO report facility, I ran the report and I have over 500 pages returning a 403 or Forbidden error. my question is whether the Equity from those pages is being passed to the new site? I actually removed all the old site from Google Cache to avoid misleading visitors, I suppose I could set the re-directs up manually if I the equity is not being passed to the new site although I was under the impression it would be, or 85% - 90% of it would be anyway. The reason why I am asking is that I have seen a significant drop in rankings for keywords that my site has always ranked highly for. thought I would see if you guys can clear that up for me. Thanks and regards Wes Dunn

Affiliate & canonicals
Hi, any help with this one would be great.... www.example.com sells widgets online. They are also promoted on a 3rd party website www.partner.com. Currently www.partner.com links to a page on www.example.com that is completely branded with the 'partners' design, style and unique copy (you would think you were still on 'partner' website). I saw this interesting article from 2011: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/getting-seo-value-from-your-affiliate-links (in particular idea 1) Do you think adding a rel=canonical on www.example.com's partner page is still safe? All the best & thank you, Richard

Still Going Down In Search
After signing up to SEOmoz as a pro user and sorting out all the things that the search flagged up with our website (htyp://www.whosjack.org) we jumped very slightly in search only to continue going down again. We are a news based site, we have no dup content, we have good writers and good orangic links etc I am currently very close to having to call it a day. Can anyone suggest anything at all from looking at the site or suggest a good SEO firm that I could talk to who might be able to work out the issue as I am totally at a loss as to what do do now. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
