      We need to conduct a SEO analysis for a website that is on a private, password protected development site -- is there anyway for SEOMoz tools to access and analyze a PW protected site?

      Thank you,

      Sara Merten

        Hi Sara,

        I checked and wasn't able to find a way for "Roger" (the mozBot) to crawl a development site (i.e. one that is password protected). Here is a post that gives more information on how your site is crawled.

        Maybe you could migrate the site to a public subdomain and have the SEOmoz bot crawl it there? It would at least give you some on-page SEO feedback.

        Good luck!
