Siteground blocking Ahrefs crawl bots?

Have any other Siteground/Ahrefs customers here seen this?

Just last week all the sites I host at Siteground started showing 202 errors on Ahrefs reports. Google sees the pages just fine and both SemRush and Screaming Frog do not report any problems.

I contacted Ahrefs support. They replied very quickly but did not see any problems from their end, suggesting the I may have some setting on my site blocking access. (I checked and so not.)

I also contacted Siteground support who also replied very quickly. After they looked into it they informed me that, "some of the more aggressive bots are either blocked or heavily rate-limited on our servers."

Do any of you find that the Ahrefs crawl bots are too aggressive for your hosts?

I may need to switch from Ahrefs to SemRush which would be a pain since I recently got a paid subscription to Ahrefs after looking at both.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0
