403 errors in Moz but not in Google Search Console
-
Hello,
Moz is showing that one of the sites I manage has about ten 403 errors on main pages, including the home page. But when I go to Google Search Console, I'm not getting any 403 errors. I don't know too much about this site (I handle the SEO for a few sites as a contractor for a digital marketing agency), but I can see that it's a WordPress site (I'm not sure if that's relevant).
Can I assume this a Moz issue only?
Thanks,
Susannah Noel

Thanks Lisa - I read the guide and sent an email to the help desk!

Hey Susannah!
Moz's crawler is built to be more sensitive to crawl issues than Google's crawler as we feel it's better to provide more data than less. If you're wondering what's causing certain crawl errors to pop up you can always check out our Crawl Errors Guide. It's hard to know what's causing your 403 errors without looking at the site and campaign, but if you'd like help in diagnosing the issue I recommend writing in to help@moz.com with your details so we can check it out!

Moz Pro: Filter inbound links by partial anchor text?
My site has been targeted by a spam farm with hundreds of different domains, all linking to images on our CDN with similar variations of anchor text, eg: get free high quality hd wallpapers wedding cake makers

get free high quality hd wallpapers hairstyle makeover
get free high quality hd wallpapers living room cafe
etc Is it possible within Moz Pro to filter all incoming links with anchor text including "free high quality hd wallpapers" so that I can disavow all of the domains en masse? So far I've only been able to display/download the list of links exactly matching the full anchor text which is very time-consuming with 100+ variations. Regards,

Moz showing +3M new inbound links. But nowhere to find them?
Hi there Moz is showing a +3M backlink rise in the dashboard for one of our domains. The site has always had around 350K backlinks and in Ahrefs and Majestic it still shows this number. But Moz shows a growth of +3M in the last two weeks. Is there a way to see where these backlinks come from in OSE? I can't seem to understand how it is possible to see this somehow. Can it be a mistake of Moz maybe?
