Random Reporting of 403 Forbidden Errors
-
Randomly MOZ reports that hundreds of 403 forbidden errors are cropping up for our website. None of these pages are forbidden, and load just fine. Why does MOZ keep reporting these issues?
-
To confirm, it appears that it worked. I don't know if others with WPEngine as a host were having this problem. BUt that's how you get it fixed,

I reached out to WPEngine as it seemed like something they could address. The Moz crawler Rogerbot and associated IP addresses were being flagged by the firewall and were being blocked access. I requested that write a script to allow rogerbot to crawl the site without being blocked. In theory, it should be fixed. I'll recrawl the site to make sure.

I have assigned a Moz Pro seat to someone but they can't access a campaign's rankings report?
Hi there, I'm the account admin on a Moz Pro account. I have assigned a seat to a freelancer who's doing some work for me and they say they can't access a campaign's rankings report? The manage user's section shows them as having a seat license? It's been issued and accepted by them? Any ideas here? Thanks

Reports Issues
Hello there, I recently re-activated my account and I have some issues with the reports. I have been notified by email that the crawl has been successful and data were collected but they refer to January and February instead of November. What should I do? Thanks

Tracking keywords and SERP Analysis Reports
My question is regarding the "Track up to 50 keywords over time." and the "x of 100 full SERP Analysis Reports run this month" Is it possible to increase these fixed numbers? or do I have to use a secondary account? It would be nice to have history for more keywords then 50. and the same goes for the SERP analysis report.

How do I access my Full SERP Analysis Report in the new Moz?
Another possibly dumb question... I ran a full SERP analysis report and had it emailed to me, but in the email there's no link to the report. I logged back into Moz, but I can't find the report anywhere. Thanks! BiDFIvG
