      I noticed that most of the errors would not be occurring if Moz's tool followed the rules implemented in sites robots.txt. Has anyone else seen this problem and do you know if Moz will fix this?

        Hi James.

        Do you also have rules for the crawler of Moz in there? You can learn more about Roger here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot

          No because I thought Moz followed GoogleBot rules. Is this not the case?

            I'm not a 100% sure about it, but probably in specific cases you want to have your own statements for Rogerbot.

            • I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
