      I have a site where when you visit the product pages, it asks for your zip code. This is obviously blocking the bots from crawling the site.

      I know you can basically tell the bots how to ignore the zip code feature but I am not exactly sure how to do this.

      Any help would be appreciated

            You can also use a private Q&A question credit to ask this in private Q&A. It can take a few days for a response, but your question will be confidential, not indexed in Google, and only viewable to SEOmoz staff and associates -- and we're all under NDA to not discuss the contents.
