ALL 169 using the tool returns &quot;Allowed&quot;This one stumps even hardcore GGWH regulars like Phil Payne and webado.Susan Moskwa (*evil* Googler) jumps in and explains:1. With cookies turned off, URL X redirects to /no-cookies.php.2. /no-cookies.php is blocked by robots.txt.3. Therefore all 169 URLS are blocked.She adds: &quot;The reason the robots.txt analysis tool doesn't report these URLs as blocked is because it doesn't follow redirects, it just checks the syntax of the file against the syntax of the URLs you provide.&quot;Would Jason Calacanis be able to figure all that out on his own?<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
