54 new 404 errors on my website?

[Passanger88]

Hi There

In the latest report I have 54 404-errors. All last week, previously I had 2 404s that I fixed. In report say:

Title404 : ErrorMeta DescriptionTraceback (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: 404 Not FoundMeta RobotsNot present/emptyMeta RefreshNot present/empty

Are these normal 404 errors I have to look at and fix?

Or is this some script that running on my server and causing errors?

In general - what should I do to fix this?

Thanks

Dean

Hi Dean,

Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion. I logged into your account and checked several of the URLs that are returning a 404 error and they are legitimately pages that are returning a 404 if you go to those URLs.  I looked into the referring pages, and it seems that these URLs are being created by the RSS feed on your pages. Since the RSS creates dynamic URLs, those URLs would not consistently exist on the site.

This won't necessarily hurt your SEO, but our crawler will still report any 404s it finds on your site.

I would wait for an SEOmoz team member to respond to be sure, but it sounds like the mozbot was having trouble crawling your site.

Take a look at this other related thread:
