# Disallowed URLs with Backlinks

URLs which were found in your backlink list, but were disallowed by your robots.txt.

**Priority**: Critical

**Impact**: Negative

## What issues it may cause

Although the disallowed pages [still have the potential to be indexed in search engines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlocS5b_46o#t=21m50s), they cannot be crawled. This means that there are no internal links to other pages visible to search engines, and [PageRank from the backlinks cannot be passed to other pages on the site](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIIRyBMSPUk#t=52m21s).

## How do you fix it

Consider removing the disallow rule from the robots.txt that affects these pages.

## What is the positive impact

The rankings of other pages may be improved as PageRank can be passed to other pages and distributed throughout the site.

## How to fetch the data for this report template

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have
crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:


```graphql
query GetReportStatForCrawl(
      $crawlId: ObjectID!
      $reportTemplateCode: String!
      $after: String
     ) {
        getReportStat(
          input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
        ) {
          crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
            nodes {
              pageTitle
              url
              description
              foundAtUrl
              deeprank
              level
              robotsTxtRuleMatch
              redirectsInCount
              linksOutCount
              linksInCount
              foundInGoogleAnalytics
              foundInGoogleSearchConsole
              foundInBacklinks
              foundInList
              foundInLogSummary
              foundInWebCrawl
              foundInSitemap
            }
            totalCount
            pageInfo {
              endCursor
              hasNextPage
            }
          }
       }
     }
```
