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.

More than 20 % of exact match anchor text... can it be the reason ?
How do I know if i got it by penguin because my external anchor text is over optimised ? I have 80 external links and 22 of those are exact match, could it be the reason why I went from ranking 1 st for years on a keyword to ranking on 2 nd page for about a year now... Do you recommend trying to get new links or asking to change the existing one... I read that google doesn't treat links the same way if you change the anchor text, is it really the case ? For internal links should I also worry about exact match percentage or not ? is it better to have exact match internally or not ? PS : I redid my website in the meantime so it is hard to say where the issue is coming from. Thank you,

Where do you find an individual/freelance SEO?
I know Moz has a directory of recommended companies, and I've found that very useful. However, we're really looking for an individual (who, of course, keeps up with the latest best practices and trends in SEO) to optimize our site while we put our time into client sites. We've done Craigslist ads, but those seldom pan out. Have any of you had luck finding part-time SEOs? Where did you find them? Thanks!

Search engine simulators are not finding text on my website. Do I have a problem with Javascript or AJAX?
My website text is not appearing in search engine simulators. Is there a problem with the javascript? Or perhaps AJAX is affecting it? Is there a tool I can use to examine how my website architecture is affecting how the site is crawled? I am totally lost. 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

Scrolling Text Old School SEO and hidden index page
We have taken over a site and now find our self looking at the homepage of the site which has hidden scrolling text. A old school way of adding text without leaving loads of paragraphs. I have also removed all links to the index.htm page but somewhere visitors are still coming to this page in there droves. I am considering using a canonical url code but I would rather nip it in the bud. Would love some feedback from some other experts here is the site - http://www.radiatorcentre.com You never stop learning in seo and maybe we can all learn from this example. Thanks
