Hi there!
Generally speaking, it's much easier to block crawlers unilaterally than to allow just one specific crawler and no others onto your website. (It's also worth mentioning that if Rogerbot is the only crawler with access to your site, you risk falling off the radar on Google's index! Yikes!) Here's a great post about when, why and how to block crawlers from your site: http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2067357/bye-bye-crawler-blocking-parasites
I'm by no means an SEO expert, but that article pointed to http://www.robotstxt.org/ which looks like a great resource for learning more about web robots, when to block them, and how to do it. I hope they help!

Thanks for the response. Is it possible to open our site only for RogerBot ? Would be glad if you can share details of that

Hi there!
Tawny from the Help Team here! It looks like in this case Rogerbot was blocked from crawling your site! When he tried, the server returned a 403 Forbidden error. If Rogerbot can't crawl your site, that might be an indication that other crawlers might be having trouble, too.This is probably something you should ask your webmaster to help you out with. They should be able to unblock Rogerbot and let the crawl begin!
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to write in to us on the Help Team!

There is a similar question here - https://moz.com/community/q/why-rogerbot-can-t-crawl-site-https-unplag-com. The advice is similar - check your logfiles for Rogerbot / Moz and see what the response is.
When I checked the other question I noticed that there was an issue with the configuration of the name servers - it is possible that it's a coincidence but you seem to have issues with your name servers as well: http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.practo.com×tamp=1445520589&view=1
You might want to correct that.Dirk

Accuracy of Moz Keyword Tool
I understand that no search tool is entirely accurate, but I'm seriously beginning to doubt the accuracy of the Moz keyword tool search volumes for keywords. For example: I entered "largest police departments" and it says 0-10 per month in the US, despite the fact that that term is directly responsible for 200 hits per day. Many alterations of that keyword come up with 0-10 or not determined. This is not a small error -- and it repeats over and over for other search terms that I have already ranked for in the US. It's gigantically inaccurate in a massive scale.

How can I be sure Moz Campaign for blog is working?
I set up a Moz Campaign to track my blog domain (made a separate one for our website) and added in keywords I've optimized our blog posts for. I've spent about 2 months optimizing pages and there's been no change in the numbers I see in the dashboard (specifically Search Visibility and Top National Keywords) and Rankings module. It all basically says either 0 or '--'. I think I've set this campaign up right because the website campaign has been changing and showing different results in the same amount of time. I'm going to ask the stupid question -- is this because I've set up the blog campaign wrong, my site is blocking Moz from accessing blog data or my SEO efforts simply aren't working? Please help. I need a sanity check here. Thank so much in advance!

MOZ Freshweb reported mentions that really does not contain any mention - anyone else experiencing this?
MOZ Freshweb reported links from "traffic.fullcontentrss.com" that doesn't really contain any mention. Is this a MOZ error or is it maybe since fullcontentrss.com has a javascript that pulls data into their own RSS, MOZ ended up crawling partially and as a result not reporting the correct URL? Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

Duplicate page found with MOZ crawl test?
When I crawl my website www.radiantguard.com, the crawl test comes back with what appears to be a duplicate of my home page: http://www.radiantguard.com and http://www.radiantguard.com/ Does the crawler indeed see two different pages and therefore, are my search engine rankings potentially affected, AND is this because of how my rel canonical is set up?

Why does the moz crawl test lists page twice?
Hi, I'm running into an issue where some crawlers list my pages twice, once with a trailing slash, once without. I first saw it on a few pages with screaming frog, then saw it happen on all my pages with the moz crawler. The site is www.kidsandart.org and its on Squarespace. I grepped the sitemap.xml I submitted to google webmaster and got 167 distinct pages, all of them without a trailing slash. Any insights on why this is happening, and how to regard moz crawler results would be appreciated. thanks Tom

Moz Conversion Tracking
Is there a place here on Moz where goals and conversions can be set up or viewed? If the latter, does Moz just take the data from Analytics? Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks,

Confusing Moz Crawl?
Hi there, I am not sure if I am missing on something but the moz crawls are rather confusing. After singing in I have received 11 emails with crawls and today I have received again new, When I go to check there to the dashboard it shows 26 pages with issues. When I scroll down I see the pages with issue. Then when I click on the first page listed, to view the issues it says this: Rel Canonical
Moz Bar | | Rebeca1
Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical. For this site: http://villasdiani.com/ but we have sorted out the canonical issues a long time ago. Is this a wrong information or is it really true that we do not specify the canonical for our site? Then the second page with issue is there listed http://villasdiani.com/beach-villas/ and it says: Duplicate Page Title
You should use unique titles for your different pages to ensure that they describe each page uniquely and don't compete with each other for keyword relevance. But it does not point out which page is duplicate with this one! I do not have any other page named the same way. It also says in Issues overview 26pages with issues, but it shows on the bottom only 5 under and when I click on view more it brings me to high priority issues where is 0. The most is freaking me out this report: When I click on links, there are listed on the bottom the pages with highest authority among which I found this http://villasdiani.com/db I have never created this kind of page! Funny enough when I click on it it really open that page! How this can be??? In issues overview it also shows on the bottom, right corner 11 page with duplicate content but when I click on it to review it it brings me to high priority issues windows where is not displayed anything Can somebody advice me regarding of this. I have sign up here to learn and sort out the problems with the site but so far I am only getting more confused here. Thank you very much for looking into this.0 -
Moz Analytics only working with Google Analytics?
Hi, My company uses Piwik for analytics. Do you know if there is a way to make the new Moz Analytics work with Piwik? Or if Piwik support will be provided at some point? Thanks! P.S. : I know it would be easier to switch to Google Analytics, but for many reasons we can't 😞
