Where is my 404?
-
Hi all,
I just signed as a PRO in Seomoz(yes, I am noob) and in the crawl diagnostics it says I have got a couple of 404.
first one is a typo but I just can't find where it is on my website; any idea?
second, it is a page I deleted
third, it is a page with double subdomain
ie it works with sitename/country/services
404: sitename/country/country/services

Doug is spot on - its just that easy. Those csv exports literally tell you everything you need to know.
Sameer is also recommending a good tool, Xenu, if you don't want to use your crawl report. However, Xenu can cause issues (rare) with sites with dynamic content, or it can just keep crawling forever with newer dynamic sites.

You can get this from your SEOMoz crawl report! No need to run your site through another tool (although your might wish to out of preference)
From the Crawl Diagnostics, you can download your crawl report by exporting it as a CSV file. There's a little drop down and an "Export" button on the top right corner of the page.
Once you've downloaded and opened the CSV file you can filter on the 4XX (Client Error) column and then look all the way over to the right hand side to the "referrer" column which will show you the page that had the bad link.
If you've got a whole bunch of 404s to work through you can use the CSV file to mark them off as you go!
Hope this helps!

Please follow these steps
1. Download Xenu Link Sleuth
2. Install & Run Xenu Link sleuth
3. Run Report & Copy all 404 pages on your site
4. Now fix broken links with technical resource.
5. If you dont want to put page which you have removed i.e. 404: sitename/country/country/services
redirect it to ideal candidate. i,e, to main category or similar page.
If you need further help for redirection, let me know
first one is typo - Please take help from programmer/designer to fix this error.
second error - It is about page, so please fix this with adding same page or using 301
Third one error - sitename/country/country/services fix it with 301 to appropriare page, or main category.
-
You also see them in webmaster tools from Google
second, it is a page I deleted this needs a 301
-
run your site on brokenlinkcheck.com
this will show you the exact URL where the 404 was found and the actual line of code in the source code where the broken link is.

How to Fix 404 Errors
Hey Moz'ers - I just added a new site to my Moz Pro account and when I got the crawl report back there was a ton of 404 errors (see attached). I realize the best way to fix these is to manually go through every single error and see what the issue is... I just don't have time right now, and I don't have a team member that can jump on this either, but realize this will be a huge boost to this client if/when I get these resolved... So my question is: Is there a quicker way to get these resolved? Is there an outsourcing company that can fix my clients errors correctly? Thanks for the help in advance:) wBhzEeV

On Link Analysis tab I my best pages are 301 and 404 pages.
I looked on my redirrect file and found that /* redirects to /v/404.asp.
Moz Pro | | sbetzen
However if you look below at the link analysis the 404 page is getting a 404 error.
The homepage ecowindchimes.com/ is getting a 301 (but I don't know where it is going to).
The third one is also redirected. 1. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/ ||| 301 ||| 2 ||| 36 2. 2. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/v/404.asp ||| 404 ||| 2 ||| 34 3. [No Data] 3. ecowindchimes.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d2.html ||| 301 ||| 1 ||| 33 So I have 2 questions: 1) should this be fixed? and 2) how? This is a volusion site and I believe the "catchall" redirect was done by them0 -
Need help locating a 404 link
My reports are showing a 404 error for a link to a page in our WP site for which we changed the URL months ago. I can't find where the link is coming from. I used Screaming Frog, but can't find where it might tell me the origin of the link, only that it exists. I am pretty sure it's internal. Can someone please tell me how to find the originating page so I can remove the link without having to comb through every page of the site to look for it? Thanks!

High level of 404 client errors
My clients website is an e-commerce based website, where customers can go on and buy products etc from the website. I placed the website onto seomoz and it cam eback with something like 18,000 errors, mostly 404 client errors, when I checked to see what the URL was from, it was a summary of an order to a client who just purchased something from the website, this was the case for alot of the errors. So i am wondering, will this harm the site's optimisation or any other part of it? and how can I get rid of these errors? Many Thanks Charlene

404 errors in SEOMoz crawl tool
I currently have several 404 errors in the latest crawls from SEOMoz. Here is an example of the error. http://dealerplatform.com/blog/2011/10/23/videos-for-auto-dealers/www.dealerplatform.com/ In all cases the error is a result of www.dealerplatform.com being added to the real url. Anyone seen this before? The site is a wordpress mutlisite. I don't see where this incorrect link is showing up anywhere on the website. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Status 404-pages
Hi all, One of my websites has been crawled by SEOmoz this week. The crawl showed me 3 errors: 1 missing title and 2 client errors (4XX). One of these client errors is the 404-page itself! What's your suggestion about this error? Should a 404-page have the 404 http status? I'd like to hear your opinion about this one! Thanks all!
