4XX (Client Error)
-
How much will 5 of these errors hurt my search engine ranking for the site itself (ie: the domain) if these 5 pages have this error.

not sure if this is any help to anyone but I have almost the same issue but it's a 500 error and the description says:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/downpour/init.py", line 391, in _error failure.raiseException() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/failure.py", line 370, in raiseException raise self.type, self.value, self.tb Error: 500 Internal Server Error
Talking to my hosting provider they said when the seomoz bot crawled my site it put my cpu usage over 25% causing the errors... We will see if this happens on Sunday.

One of my crawls has just completed and I see that I have 5 404 : Error messages that display the same error as quoted. I feel that I am being a little pedantic as 5 does seem petty in comparison to the numbers quoted by the other members, I would just like to know if there is something that I can do to eliminate these. Please can you advise if this is something only derived by the moz crawl itself or if it may have something to do with an external cause that I can influence?
I greatly appreciate your time.

Thank you!

We do know about the 406 errors, and we uploaded a fix for that on Tuesday. Your next crawl should not show these errors again.

I am experiencing exactly the same thing as alsvik-- I went from 0 406 errors to 681 in one week, having changed nothing on my site. Like him, it is PDFs and .jpgs that are generating this error, and I get EXACTLY the same error message.
Clearly, SEOmoz has changed a python script such that their bot no longer accepts these MIME types. Please correct this ASAP.

I just got spammed with 406 errors. Seomoz suddenly found 390 of these on my site (all png, jpg and pdf).
I have changed nothing on my site and GWT shows none of these. So i'm thinking that the Seomoz-crawler maybe doing something wrong ...
It all boils down to trust. I trust GWT (it may be slow though).

it is on a pdf with a link on it. The error message says:
<dt>Title</dt>
<dd>406 : Error</dd>
<dt>Meta Description</dt>
<dd>Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/downpour/init.py", line 378, in _error failure.raiseException() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/failure.py", line 370, in raiseException raise self.type, self.value, self.tb Error: 406 Not Acceptable</dd>

It's hard to quantify the impact of the 404 pages not knowing the relative size of your site.
Overall, the 404s aren't good for your SEO. You should work towards fixing the pages that are giving the error or 301 redirecting the bad urls.

Unsolved Google Search Console Still Reporting Errors After Fixes
Hello, I'm working on a website that was too bloated with content. We deleted many pages and set up redirects to newer pages. We also resolved an unreasonable amount of 400 errors on the site. I also removed several ancient sitemaps that listed content deleted years ago that Google was crawling. According to Moz and Screaming Frog, these errors have been resolved. We've submitted the fixes for validation in GSC, but the validation repeatedly fails. What could be going on here? How can we resolve these error in GSC.

Subdomain 403 error
Hi Everyone, A crawler from our SEO tool detects a 403 error from a link from our main domain to a a couple of subdomains. However, these subdomains are perfect accessibly. What could be the problem? Is this error caused by the server, the crawlbot or something else? I would love to hear your thoughts.

803 errors
I asked the person who manages my server to take a look into my 803 errors. But he does not find anything in the logs. Is there a way to find out what causes these errors. And what is meant with 803 error in Search Engine blocked by robots.txt column?

Quest about 404 Errors
About two months ago, we deleted some unnecessary pages on our website that were no longer relevant. However, MOZ is still saying that these deleted pages are returning 404 errors when a crawl test is done. The page is no longer there, at least that I can see. What is the best solution for this? I have a page that similar to the older page, so is it a good choice to just redirect the bad page to my good page? If so, what's the best way to do this. I found some useful information searching but none of it truly pertained to me. I went around my site to make sure there were no old links that directed traffic to the non existent page, and there are none.

Expired domain 404 crawl error
I recently purchased a Expired domain from auction and after I started my new site on it, I am noticing 500+ "not found" errors in Google Webmaster Tools, which are generating from the previous owner's contents.Should I use a redirection plugin to redirect those non-exist posts to any new post(s) of my site? or I should use a 301 redirect? or I should leave them just as it is without taking further action? Please advise.
