Why RogerBot can't crawl site https://unplag.com
-
Hello
Please help me to solve the problem.
The on-page grader and Crawl Test are not working for Unplag.com website. Both said that they can't access the url. Yes, I've tried different variants like unplag.com, http://unplag.com
One more thing - RogerBot was disallowed in robots.txt file. I deleted it from the file a week ago so maybe moz index haven't been renewed.

Thank you. I'll try to solve the problem

The trouble is not with your robot.txt - in the server config you block rogerbot completely and serve a 400 for each request it makes..
If you have a user agent switcher plugin in your browser & change the user agent to rogerbot (rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com) - the server returns a 400 Bad Request.

The logs are like this:
"GET / HTTP/1.0" 400 166 "-" "rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com)" "-" - "https"
and of course sometimes rogerbot is trying to see the robots file:
"GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 400 166 "-" "rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com)" "-" - "https"
for me it looks like the rogerbot is disallowed in robots.txt but the file is like this https://unplag.com/robots.txt

thanks a lot!

Follow the advice from Jordan below and try to check your log files to see what the server response is when Rogerbot is trying to visit the site.
I noticed some DNS issues with your site - check http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=unplag.com - Nameservers don't seem to be ok. Also noticed that you have a 302 redirect from http -> https - while this should be 301. Probably not related to your main issue but worth checking.

Thanks.
The last crawl was after the robots.txt change.
And I don't see any errors in the dashboard.

After creating a fresh test campaign for the site, I'm still seeing a 400 response being served to rogerbot from https://unplag.com/. While I'm not able to pinpoint the exact setting that is causing the site to serve that response, I'd recommend checking your server logs to verify the response that is being served.

It's possible that your site hasn't been crawled yet (since you changed the robots.txt). You can see in your campaign dashboard (upper right corner) when the next crawl is scheduled.
Do you see any specific error codes on your dashboard?

Am I the only one seeing the Moz's points ranking with mixed rankings?
Hello everyone. It's been several weeks since the problem persists, Here: https://moz.com/community/users
Moz Bar | | Gaston Riera
There are rankings that are incorrect and some users that have the same ranking than other users. I've attached some pics. GR 25603b49292acd5d68f7dd6a43977f94 6d8fea557f6ed2de23466f6c7df850eb0 -
Moz crawl issues: All pages keep resolving to our "cookies not enabled" page
Upon running the Moz Pro site crawler, I noticed that I received quite a bit of duplicate titles along with 302 redirects (which is our site creating a temporary 302 to our "cookies not enabled" page). How would I get around the crawler being redirected to this page? I've never ran across this issue before, despite using the crawler with sites that use the same framework as the one thats affected. Any ideas?

Moz ranking report shows massive loss in Bing SERP's. But it is not the case?
My weekly ranking report shows massive loss of SERP's on Bing. For most keywords I was no longer in the top 50 which where first top 5. But when I checked it out for myself, I'm still ranked top 5 for these keywords. I then used the Moz Rank Tracker and there it also says I'm still ranking top 5 for these keywords. What should I believe now?

Moz crawl sees meta description but there are none
I have a new site I have run a starter crawl on. The crawl came back saying some of the pages do indeed have meta descriptions. When I go to the same page and use the Moz Chrome toolbar it says they do not have meta descriptions. I also know they do not have meta descriptions. Are there any instances in which the Moz crawler would see them when they are not there?

Not getting foreign characters in crawl diagnostics .csv
The crawl diagnostics .csv file is showing high-ascii characters instead of the correct language (foreign language website) e.g. Vietnamese, Chinese (both kinds), etc. Is there a way to get this right?
