Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
-
Hello All,
I'm facing an issue with the MOZ Crawler. Every time it crawls my website , there will be an error message saying " **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Sep 13, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. "
We changed the robots.txt file and checked it . but still the issue is not resolved.

Do let me know what went wrong and wjhat needs to be done.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Harini,
Jo from the Moz help team here.
I've had a look at your site and it looks like there is something server side that is blocking our bot.
When I try to cURL your site from our internal tool I'm getting a 302 to http://127.0.0.1
https://screencast.com/t/J3hhDTCM
I'm also seeing this message in this third party tool.
"The robots.txt file does not exist on this domain (302 redirect to http://127.0.0.1)"
All this points to something server side that is initiating a 302 redirect for our bot. While your site looks fine in the browser, our bot simply can't get through.
I would recommend reaching out to your host or web developer to see if they can check how your server is treating rogerbot/1.2
You can also ask them to check the server logs to see how your server is responding to rogerbot/1.2
You'll also want to make sure you are not blocking AWS (Amazon Web Services).
Best of luck!
Jo

Thank you Andy
. But, the problem is MOZ crawler was unable to crawl the website even though the line " Allow: / " was present in the robots.txt.
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /?color=
Disallow: /?manufacturer=
Disallow: /?filter_material-fabric=
Disallow: /?filter_color=
Disallow: /?query_type_color=
Disallow: /?filter_size=
Disallow: /?taxonomy=
Disallow: /?view_mode=
Disallow: /?query_type_material-fabric=
Disallow: /?orderby=
Disallow: /?source_id=
Disallow: /?source_tax=
Disallow: /?shop-2__trashed?
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.phpSitemap: https://www.khadination.shop/sitemap.xml
this was the previous version of robots.txt that were been used ....

Hi - As Andy has said, you're not allowing Moz to crawl the site.
Read up on Rogerbot here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot

Hi there,
You forgot the most important thing. You're disallowing a lot of things but not allowing access in the first place.
Allow: /
add this on line 2 of your robots.txt file.
Good luck

No access to the Analytics part of the website. Help?
I have accepted a seat on my managers subscription to help look into our website and the analytics part specifically but every time I try to access wither the keyword explorer or any other of the analytics part of the website it appears that there is a broken link and will just show a white screen with only the headers and footers intact.

One of my Moz Campaigns was accidentally deleted. Any tips on getting it back?
I had a campaign setup with all of my keywords meticulously labeled and branded. Then by mistake, it was deleted. Is there any way I can restore/get the data back for an accidentally deleted campaign?

Posted by Link on Moz - Broken
I wasn't sure which category to place this in as Support doesnt feature Q&A or the Moz site in general so I dropped it under other research tools to which the Q&A kind of is 🙂 Now I am not sure if it is just me and that you have rectified the issue, but when ever I click on the "posted by" links to the user. I am getting a page not found error. The links in question can be seen in my two grabs and effect all posted by links on the Q&A section of Moz. A simply trailing slash after .com "/" will do the trick 🙂 https://moz.comusers/view/636129 - BROKEN

Competitor changed URL. What data do I lose if I update Moz settings?
One of my competitor's has changed their domain URL. I want to update this in the Moz campaign settings but I get a warning that all historical data will be lost if I do. Is that really true? I replaced one of my competitors with another for a week and didn't seem to lose historical data. Incidentally, could this be a feature request to allow more competitors to be tracked? eqEhEHz.jpg
