Question

Marketo Forms are "Blocked Resources" (blocked by Google Robots for search crawling)

Hi--In my Google Webmaster Tools,  I see that all of the pages with our Marketo forms are blocked by Google Robots. This is creating a long list of "blocked resources" for our website.

How do I resolve this issue? Does this have to do with the CNAMES, SPF or DKIM records set-up by my developer? Anyone else have this issue?

Thank you!

Do you have a custom robots.txt?  What is your LP domain (assuming you're talking about Marketo forms on Marketo-hosted LPs)?

We're having the same issue. Our robots.txt allows everything:

User-agent: *

Disallow:

Here is an example URL that appears in our 'Blocked Resources' list in webmaster tools. There is over 2000 of these (all with the same hostname):

801-tfv-858.mktoresp.com/webevents/visitWebPage?_mchNc=1457913600172&_mchCn=&_mchId=801-TFV-858&_mchTk=.........

That's not a form.  It's the Munchkin analytics endpoint.  And it's blocked in Marketo's robots.txt.
