Blocked by robots.txt but linked internally
What it means
robots.txt forbids crawling these URLs, yet the site links to them. A blocked URL can still be indexed from its links, with no content and no description, which is the worst of both outcomes.
How to fix it
If the page should be private, use noindex, or real access control, rather than robots.txt, and remove the internal links. robots.txt stops crawling, not indexing. If the page should be public, unblock the path in robots.txt so it can be crawled properly.
Finding it in CrawlStat
After a crawl, open Issues and pick Blocked by robots.txt but linked internally. Click Show all in Pages to filter the Pages table to the affected pages, or Export affected to hand the list to whoever owns the fix. Audit ID: robots_blocked_but_linked.
