      Hi

      I have been getting the ollowing error on my dashboard the last 6-8 weeks

      error 605: Page Banned by robots.txt, X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header, or Meta Robots Tag

      It does seem to be able to crawl the site so what does this mean? The only issue I see is that I don't get any crawl errors listed. Could this be a prob with moz? I had this site checked on a different account on moz and there didnt get the error!

      The site is http://www.copyfaxes.com

      Thanks

        Yikes! This issue pops up from time to time, but usually resolves itself by the next crawl. I'm really sorry you've been experiencing this problem!

        Your robots.txt file looks good, but it's possible that it's an issue coming from HT access, or a shared hosting provider. I would check with your hosting service to see if there is anything that would be stopping RogerBot. If there's nothing from their end then please let me know at help@moz.com so our engineers can investigate further :).

        I hope this helps! Thanks for your patience, and have a great day!

          • Rogerbot will not crawl my site! Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https version but still getting the same error! What can I do?
