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.

Solved Duplicate content error affecting 142 pages
Hello,
Product Support | | EISMarketing
Recently I noticed a new duplicate error notification.
This page: https://www.earley.com/insights/internet-things-and-product-data
is flagged as 'duplicate content' with 142 affected pages.
Here's an example of one of the affected pages:
https://www.earley.com/insights/how-ontologies-drive-digital-transformation
This is not an ecommerce site. The affected pages are blog posts. We are pretty prolific writers and over the years we have produced nearly 300 articles. We are a consulting firm and the articles are about our area of expertise and cover a wide range of topics within that space.
I just don't understand why this would be flagged as duplicate or what I'm supposed to do with this information!
Help!
Thanks!

I have removed a subdomain from my main domain. We have stopped the subdomain completely. However the crawl still shows the error for that sub-domain. How to remove the same from crawl reports.
Earlier I had a forum as sub-domain and was mentioned in my main domain. However i have now discontinued the forum and have removed all the links and mention of the forum from my main domain. But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.

Why Isn't My Analytics Report Downloading?
In the "Preview & Download" section of reporting, I clicked the "Generate PDF Report Preview" and it initiates loading but it has been approximately 30 minutes and the report PDF still hasn't generated. Does anyone know why this may be? Thanks!

Where are my October Monthly Reports?
My custom monthly reports have not been generated for any of our clients for the month of October. The report lists 10/1/2013 as the last report and says that the next report will be available on 12/3/2013. Obviously, there is a glitch that has caused October to be skipped. How can I fix this in order to get my monthly reports to my clients ASAP?

Duplicate Page Content Report on Moz - Still ranking in Google Results?
Hi, I am experiencing 2 issues with the Duplicate Page Content in Moz. Every week it is notifying me of new duplicate content - so it seems to be missing duplicate content each week and the crawl is never above the 5000-6000 page mark, which means that it is under 10K which is the limit, so presumably everything is crawled in that one go so surely it should detect all of the dupe content on 1 crawl as opposed to having to do various crawls to detect it no? The dupe content report shows me pages that indeed have duplicate content but after checking, these are ranking on Google for their terms... ? Is the duplicate page content report incremental ? Will it add more duplicate content and increase the report every week or does it just show that week's results? If so, it's a bit like chasing my tail... Help!
