How can I fix this home page crawl error ?
-
My website shows this crawl error =>
612 : Home page banned by error response for robots.txt.
I also did not get any page data in my account for this website ...
I did get keyword rankings and traffic data, I am guessing from the analytics account.
url = www.mississaugakids.com
Not sure really what to do with this !
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Is this still happening, or does it seem to have been taken care of?
Cheers,
Jane

Or just noindex it for now? Seems worth a try unless someone more technical has a better suggestion.
Are you seeing the error only when Moz crawls the site? Google Webmaster Tools isn't signaling any problems?

Thank you Donna,
That's pretty much what I had found, but did not think that would cause the home page error I am seeing. I know that events calendar is a problem for speed. Maybe I will move the calendar off the domain and re scan. If the crawl is fine maybe I will move the calendar to a separate domain permanently.

Hi.
https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/discover/v8r4/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.discovery.es.ad.doc/monitoring/iiysawhttp.htm says it's an error that occurred when the crawler attempted to connect to your Web server. It says a slow site or network might be the cause of the problem.
Your robots.txt is set correctly and your site is accessible (I just tried), perhaps your best bet is to wait and see if the problem recurs.
I also ran a scan of your site using screaming frog and got close to 2,000 internal server errors (response code 500) primarily from pages in this directory - http://mississaugakids.com/mississauga-events-calendar/. The pages are loading very slowly. That might be contributing to your problem.
Maybe start there and then circle back to see if the 612 error is recurring? I'm not very technical, but perhaps they're somehow related?

Yeah, your robot.txt seems fine, but the answer sounded like the error code could be misleading, so maybe you're looking in the wrong area for the root of the problem due to that reason. Wish I could be of more help.

Hello William, Thnaks for the heads up on that thread. I did see it, however my robot.txt file should be correct, so the answer in that thread did not help in my case. Looking for other options that could be the problem here. Cheers !

This was brought up a little while ago, hopefully Chiaryn's answer here can help: http://moz.com/community/q/without-robots-txt-no-crawling

Technical SEO | | TadiBrothers
I can not understand why google do not index all the video pages?
I never blocked them with the robots.txt file, there are no noindex/nofollow tags on the pages. The only video page that I found in search results is the main video category page: https://www.tadibrothers.com/videos and 1 video page out of 150 videos: https://www.tadibrothers.com/video/front-side-rear-view-cameras-for-backup-camera-systems I hope someone can point me to the right way0 -

If a page isn't linked to or directly sumitted to a search engine can it get indexed?
Hey Guys, I'm curious if there are ways a page can get indexed even if the page isn't linked to or hasn't been submitted to a search engine. To my knowledge the following page on our website is not linked to and we definitely didn't submit it to Google - but it's currently indexed: <cite>takelessons.com/admin.php/adminJobPosition/corp</cite> Anyone have any ideas as to why or how this could have happened? Hopefully I'm missing something obvious 🙂 Thanks, Jon

Can I use canonical tags to merge property map pages and availability pages to their counterpart overview pages?
I have a property website, for each property are 4-5 tabs each with their own URL, these pages include the overview page which is content rich, and auxilliary pages such as maps, availability, can I use a canonical tag to merge the tabs with very little content to their corresponding overview page which is content rich? I.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview This page has tabs for map, town info, availability which all have their own url i.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/map
Technical SEO | | assertive-media
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/availability
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/towninfo Because these auxilary pages do not contain much content can I place a canonical tag in them pointing back to the content rich overview page at www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview?0
