Great answers Mike!

Jessica, if you're still having issues with the Crawl Test and it seems like a tool issue, let us know at [email protected] - you'll get a faster response from our Help Team for your tool questions that way (unless, of course, a mozzer like Mike beats us to it!)

Hey Fabian,

I'm really sorry that your previous question was lost - I'm not sure what happened there! I don't see your previous question, but I did refund that question credit for you so you should now have that back, at least. Please feel free to report the question and we'll try to get you an answer as quickly as possible. If you're still having problems, please feel free to email [email protected] and we'll try to look into it further. Thanks!

Cheers,

Aaron

However, I will ask you just to clarify - which meta description is getting picked up? The one further down the page? If that's the one getting indexed, then it's something else probably... shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can dig into it further to see if it's a bug on our side. Thanks!

Hey Xavier!

This was the reason we weren't seeing it, but as you can see, Google's crawler is a clever little thing. It can pick up a lot of cool stuff that Roger can't. Fortunately, this is exactly the type of error we want Roger to show you, so we probably wouldn't change it so Roger could figure out these things anyways. It's great that Google figured it out, but it would have been understandable if they hadn't been able to.

Hope this helps!

Hey there Outside!

I totally understand your concerns, but unfortunately we don't have a static IP we can give you for Rogerbot. He's crawling from the cloud so his IP address changes all the time! As you know, you can allow him in Robots.txt but that's the only way to do it for now. We have a recent post about why this may be risky business: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/restricting-robot-access-for-improved-seo

Hope that helps!
