Moz crawling bot
-
Hi guys,
in OpenSiteExplorer -> Top Pages, there are no page titles displayed in a raport for certain domain, and "HTTP Status" column shows: "Blocked by robots.txt".
I tried to find out what the ID of Moz crawling bot is, and on this page: http://moz.com/community/q/seomoz-spider-bot-details someone says it's: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot).
However, my robots.txt doesn't have such entry. Take a look:
Automatically banned scanners and crawlers section
User-agent: 008
Disallow: /
user-agent: AhrefsBot
Disallow: /
User-agent: MJ12bot
Disallow: /
User-agent: metajobbot
Disallow: /
User-agent: Exabot
Disallow: /
User-agent: Ezooms
Disallow: /
User-agent: fyberspider
Disallow: /
User-agent: dotbot
Disallow: /
User-agent: MojeekBot
Disallow: /
Section end
What could be the problem here, then? Why does the Moz bot think I'm blocking it?
-
Thank you Keri, problem solved.

If you pull out dotbot from your exclusions, you should be fine.

Why Moz Link Explorer is showing wrong data?
Hi everyone. I am using Moz Link Explorer to find relevant links from competitors and when I narrow it down to Link Type: Follow Status: Active I get the list. All good here... BUT ... Inspecting the actual link on the page there is a no=follow attached to it. Is this feature still working properly on the new Link Explorer or is a bug? Thanks!

Dofollow link from Moz user profile still not showing in OpenSiteExplorer
Hi everyone! Refering to my last question http://moz.com/community/q/dofollow-link-from-moz-user-profile-not-showing-in-opensiteexplorer, the last update was on March 10 and I'm still searching my dofollow link from my Moz user profile http://moz.com/community/users/625691 after have 200 MozPoints, Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? 😞 Thanks! fTdwaO6.png

Why doesn't my site show up in Moz Site Explorer
I started this website about 2 months ago, www.guyetteroofing.com. I know it still needs a lot of work, but I can't find any information on it on the site explorer tool.
