      Well, basically that's the question 😄 Can I prevent some pages from being crawled from SEOMoz spider and still not affect Google Spider?

      This is, I have more than 10.000 pages on the website, and I am not interested in having reports for many of them, but I still wanna get SEO visits on them, so I want Google to crawl it easily...

      Thanks!

        Hi Matt,

        Absolutely, you could do this by adding a special part to your robots.txt file specified to the user agent rogerbot which is used by SEOMoz for their spider. This could be done with for example:

        User-agent: rogerbot
        Disallow: */anythingyouwanttoexcludeforroger/* 
        

        Hope this helps!

          Hey Martijn,

          Thanks!

          What about if I want to avoid rogerbot from crawling a range of pages from let's say /000001/; /000002/... /200000/ ?

          Thanks!
