How to find 20 hidden 404s
-
Hello,
We have like twenty 404s left to find. How do you find these when:
1. They don't show up in Google Webmaster Tools
2. They don't have any other internal or external pages linking to them.
3. They don't show up in site:domain.com (We have 9000 pages and only 600 show up - I fixed those out of the 600).
4. They are probably causing high bounce rates.
5. They're not in the sitemap
Thanks!

You should be able to crawl the entire site without increasing the RAM, once you buy the paid version.
-
Right in the paid version wont stop! You can see in their website that the limit of urls will be remove once you buy the license. http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/licence/
It should catch everything, maybe you can contact their support just to make sure, they are very good on support over twitter.
-
Yes, but if it only check 397 in the free version is it going to stop there in the paid version as well. Just making sure.
Also, will it catch everything?
-
Yes I just run a craw for 500 000 urls
-
The free version checked 397 URLs. Will the purchased version check all 9000?
-
You can try crawl the site using screamingfrog, make sure you check the box “Check Links Outside Folder” in the spider menu.

Backlink "class=X-hidden-focus"
Is anyone familiar with class=X-hidden-focus? Do these links still contain link juice or are they similar to no follow?

Finding Cause of Google Demotion (second time around!)
Our website, christnotes.org has historically ranked very well in it's space. We have always been in top 3 positions for daily bible verse related searches. There have been no fluctuations in rankings until it took a hit around September 4th through October 14th with approximately 35% drop in PVs and over 60% drop in traffic from Google. The site fully recovered google traffic mid-Oct. On November 24th the site was once again hit, this time with a 50% drop in pageviews and over 75% drop in traffic from google. Google Analytics Image depicting the two drops attached. When the first drop hit, we checked everything - bad links, broken URLs, page speed, etc. There was a slight increase in page speed so we did a little tweaking and made some improvements (8.36 second page load to 5.5) This time around, I can find no cause and no areas that need fixed to recover our rankings and traffic. Very confused on Google dropping rank then recovering after what looks like a page speed fix and then dropping again a month later. Any suggestions???? KGOgzEm

Randomly Displayed Text: Hidden text issue?
I want to add some script to my site so that a given page publishes a different paragraph of text every time the page loads. Something like randomly displayed testimonials (but with more text). So, when you look at the page source, you would see all the text (e.g testimonial-1, testimonial-2, etc.), but the user would only see one paragraph randomly. Would this be considered hidden text (one code for search engine, one for use)? Is there a safe number of words you can do this with without setting off red flags? I appreciate the help.

Where can I find knowledgeable website developers that know about proper seo!?
I am running a large ecommerce fitness equipment store. It is on magento and there are lots of little issues with the site. Things like url strucutre, not enough text for google to read as far as menus and too many images etc. I am wanting to work with a company that totally understands what I need done to the site to fix it and make sure its in its absolute best shape for seo. I need a real consultant that can help me make changes to my site. I cannot seem to find someone when outsourcing to overseas like india and stuff. Does anyone know of anyone or a company I can contact? If you know of multiple please list. Thank you very much Jake

Hidden Text? Part of the game or a major faux pas?
Hey all... I've been doing some competitive analysis lately on different niches in different cities, and upon looking at source code have noticed MANY sites(typically 2-3 of the top listed sites in each niche) who have hidden text, blocked by a box/logo, colored the same as the background, or both. Is this a typical practice? My understanding is Google seriously frowns on this, so is it worth reporting competitors who are doing such things? I don't see any grey areas in this matter and think it's a serious violation, but here these sites are at the top.
