          I'm getting this message "We were unable to grade that page. We received a response code of 403. URL content not parseable" when using the On-Page Report Card.  Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?  I feel like I've tried everything.

            I am getting 403 errors for this crazy url:

            http://creativemediaalliance.com/Making money from a web site is never easy%2C but Google makes it as effortless as possible with its AdSense program. Google Adsense is a service that can help you display relevant%2C unobtrusive Google ads on your website's content pages and earn money. The best part of the Adsense program is that it's FREE and easy to set up. You simply get online and apply for an account through Google. It's an easy process that takes mere minutes to complete. Once your ads are in place you can sit back and start cashing your checks%2C without ever having to touch it again. Go to www.google.com/adsense%2C get an account and start raking in the cash.

            How do I get rid of this error?

            I am also getting 404 errors for pages that do not exist anymore. How do I get rid of those?

              Great answers Mike!

              Jessica, if you're still having issues with the Crawl Test and it seems like a tool issue, let us know at [email protected] - you'll get a faster response from our Help Team for your tool questions that way (unless, of course, a mozzer like Mike beats us to it!)

                  Is there another folder on your server called resources? If so that maybe the problem. See this thread...

                  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/suddenly-getting-403-forbiden-error-on-one-page-only

                  I did run Xenu on your site and experienced the 403 error on that page only. There were other 404s that need to be fixed as well FYI,,,

                      Jessica,

                      Is the page(s) in question indexed by Google? I

                      I would recommend trying another site crawl tool like Xenu Link Sleuth, GSiteCrawler and see if they are able to crawl the site without issue. Could also be something to do with your hosting company trying to prevent Denial of Service (DOS) attacks... If you want to send me the URL I am happy to crawl it for you with one of these tools.

                        It is actually wordpress. Everything looks fine when visiting the URL and inside the wordpress but when I grade the SEO content it gives me the 403 error.

                        It happened after I added the SEO text to a page that had images within the same text box.  Does that make a difference?

                          seems like your website is blocking access to the file. A few questions:

                          1. Are you blocking robots in your txt file from this url?

                          2. Do you get the 403 erri when you manually visit the page?

                          3. What CMS if any are you using? If it is Joomla we've seen some strange things happen with some of the security modules when using crawl tools such as GSiteCrawler.

                            wordpress weglot

                            Good day to you all, Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress? Moz is pulling up URLs such as: https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL. Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution .. Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

                            Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist

                            Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

                            Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?

                            From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

                            I got am 803 error this week on the Moz crawl for one of my pages. The page loads normally in the browser. We use cloudflare. Is there anything that I should do or do I wait a week and hope it disappears? 803 Incomplete HTTP response received Your site closed its TCP connection to our crawler before our crawler could read a complete HTTP response. This typically occurs when misconfigured back-end software responds with a status line and headers but immediately closes the connection without sending any response data.

                            Increase of 404 error after change of encoding

                            Hello, We just have launch a new version of our website with a new utf-8 encoding. Thing is, we use comma as a separator and since the new website went live, I have a massive increase of 404 error of comma-encoded URL. Here is an example : http://web.bons-de-reduction.com/annuaire%2C321-sticker%2Csite%2Cpromotions%2C5941.html instead of : http://web.bons-de-reduction.com/annuaire,321-sticker,site,promotions,5941.html I check with Screaming Frog SEO and Xenu, I can't manage to find any encoded URL. Is anyone have a clue on how to fix that ? Thanks
