How to run down the actual source of a 404 error that is reported.
-
In my 404 errors, the second entry is as follows:
URL: http://www.virginiahomesandforeclosures.com/listing/0428387-lot-k-commerce-park-franklin-va-23851/REWIDX_URL_CDNimg/no-image.gif
Is there a simple way to find the root or page in which this error was generated? IF I visit this page "
http://www.virginiahomesandforeclosures.com/listing/0428387-lot-k-commerce-park-franklin-va-23851"
without the attached gobble de gook, I see a good page. So bottom line its possible it could be in one of my sitemaps, but I have 50 of those so its time consuming to search thru all 50 for each error like this since I have so many. I am pretty sure its not in my sitemaps, since google has not picked up any of these errors and they have crawled over 12,000 urls so far.
When google gives me a 404 error I can click on the link and find what pages they found the link and go there and correct it at the root.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have more than 1,000 of these errors with the bad url with the junk attached to the end and have not been able to isolate the cause yet.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tommy,
Did Ben answer your question, or would you still like some more help with this?

If you export to .CSV and put it into Excel the referring page (referrer) for the 404 error can be seen in column AM.
That should be enough to fix it although if it's a dynamic site it can end up being more complex than that.

Links being reported in Webmaster Tools
Hi Are the Total Links To Your Site, as reported in GWT, purely external inbound links ? Since these links are usually, as far as i can tell, much higher in number than any other link reporting tool and hence, i presume, more accurate, why don't services such as Moz etc include this in reporting ? I know its just a total number and link quality is whats important not quantity, but i would have thought interesting to show in reporting in conjunction with link quality info such as is already reported. Since most backlink reporting tools do show a total but always much much lower than that reported in gwt (i think) All Best Dan

Is there a way to export to csv the report of keyword difficulty tool?
I'm using it to create reportes on multiple keywords and I don't see an export/download button.I see that when one keyword only is searched for, you can export the serp results. I am asking about searching multiple keywords and then exporting them all with their scores.

Why am I getting an access error when creating my first campaign?
The exact error message is: The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to. I checked the Word Count and I am definitely <300 keywords. I have also made sure that the Branded Keywords are entered 1 per entry form. My cookies are clear and there should be no issue with my browser.
