      If you use Bing Webmaster tools you can see a complete list all URLs blocked by robots.txt. You can export the file and then filter.

      Just go to Reports & Data > Crawl Information within your Bing webmaster account. I am not aware of this feature being in Google webmaster tools. Hope this helps.

        simon_realbuzz buddy If I use this /classifieds/ it means I am blocking all URL starting with it.I want to get a list of all blocked URL's of site.

        Example

        http://muslim-academy.com/classifieds/

        How many URL's associated with this classified are blocked by my robots.txt.

          I'm sorry I don't follow. If you go to that URL you will see the list of blocked URLs as I've pasted below.

              You can view your robots file simply by appending /robots.txt to your site URL. Just put the following http://muslim-academy.com/robots.txt and you'll be able to view your robots file.

                Rogerbot directives in robots.txt

                rogerbot reporting

                I feel like I spend a lot of time setting false positives in my reports to ignore. Can I prevent Rogerbot from crawling pages I don't care about with robots.txt directives? For example., I have some page types with meta noindex and it reports these to me. Theoretically, I can block Rogerbot from these with a robots,txt directive and not have to deal with false positives.

                GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.

                ga4 traffic campaign settings

                Hi there, I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

                Blocking Standard pages with Robots.txt (t&c's, shipping policy, pricing & privacy policies etc)

                Hi I've just had best practice site migration completed for my old e-commerce store into a Shopify environment and I see in GSC that it's reporting my standard pages as blocked by robots.txt, such as these below examples. Surely I don't want these blocked ? is that likely due to my migrators or s defaults setting with Shopify does anyone know? : t&c's shipping policy pricing policy privacy policy etc So in summary: Shall I unblock these? What caused it Shopify default settings or more likely my migration team? All Best Dan

                Will noindex pages still get link equity?

                We think we get link equity from some large travel domains to white label versions of our main website. These pages are noindex because they're the same URLs and content as our main B2C website and have canonicals to the pages we want indexed. Question is, is there REALLY link equity to pages on our domain which have "noindex,nofollow" on them? Secondly we're looking to put all these white label pages on a separate structure, to better protect our main indexed pages from duplicate content risks. The best bet would be to put them on a sub folder rather than a subdomain, yes? That way, even though the pages are still noindex, we'd get link equity from these big domains to www.ourdomain.com/subfolder where we wouldn't to subdomain.ourdomain.com? Thank you!

                Getting google impressions for a site not in the index...

                Hi all Wondering if i could pick the brains of those wise than myself... my client has an https website with tons of pages indexed and all ranking well, however somehow they managed to also set their server up so that non https versions of the pages were getting indexed and thus we had the same page indexed twice in the engine but on slightly different urls (it uses a cms so all the internal links are relative too). The non https is mainly used as a dev testing environment. Upon seeing this we did a google remove request in WMT, and added noindex in the robots and that saw the index pages drop over night. See image 1. However, the site still appears to getting return for a couple of 100 searches a day! The main site gets about 25,000 impressions so it's way down but i'm puzzled as to how a site which has been blocked can appear for that many searches and if we are still liable for duplicate content issues. Any thoughts are most welcome. Sorry, I am unable to share the site name i'm afraid. Client is very strict on this. Thanks, Carl image1.png

                Is it possible to get demographic and interest information from DoubleClick cookies?

                We use Google Analytics and we are currently extracting information from the Google Analytics cookies about our visitors. Is it possible to access DoubleClick cookies in a similiar fashion and get some demographic/interest information for each visitor to our website (if they have a DoubleClick cookie set)? If so, any information on how to retrieve it would be very appreciated.

                Should you get a new Google Analytics account if your site has a new domain after a site redesign/new development?

                We recently developed a new site for a client and they have opted to move forward with a domain change.  Should we create a new Google Analytics account for the new site?
