      I keep getting the above error when I'm trying to look at the page optimization for a new blog page we have uploaded. It was posted over a week ago, so I assumed it would be indexed by now.

      Any thoughts on why it isn't working?

      The page is: http://www.esg.co.uk/blog/blog/2015/why-is-air-quality-testing-so-important/#.VmlBmLiLRpg

      Thanks

        Can't help you with the error on Moz I'd guess its down to the weird ending of that url but you can check if its indexed by putting the url into Google (it is indexed) You can also try Screaming frog for a quick fix on checking optimization.

          Hi Charley!

          We ran a few tests on the page in question and it appears that there is some Javascript on this page that is causing trouble for rogerbot, out crawler. The '#.’ portion of the URL is injecting a script. If you remove the everything after the ‘#.' in your URL, you should be able to crawl the page successfully!

          It’s hard to confirm this without verifying which keyword you’re optimizing the page for, but if you continue to run into problems or have additional questions please write in to us at help@moz.com!
