How to evaluate a 404
-
After my first site crawl im being told that there is a 404 error on my site..... It gives me the problem link url but would it not be useful to show me where its finding this 404 error?
How do i find it? it just tells me there is one and the location of the 404 i need to know the page that has the link on it?

Hi Michael,
If you download the SEOmoz report in CSV format, there is a column that says where the link is coming from. Hope that helps!

Google Webmaster Tools shows you where the 404 is being pointed from. When you click on the Not Found data there is a tab that says "Linked From". This will tell you all the URLs containing the link to a dead page.
Hope that helps!

Random /feed 404 error from a wordpress site
My Moz Analytics report shows a 404 error on a page which I think should not exist at all. The URL is http://henryplumbingco.com/portfolio-item/butler-elementary/feed/. When I checked webmaster tools, it looks like there are a number of random /feed urls throwing 404 errors. I am using WordPress and the Enfold theme. Anyone know how to get rid of these errors? Thanks,

Popup windows are coming up as 404 error in moz reports.
We have several links showing up as 404 errors because of the way our site is set up. I want to know if this is hurting our ranking because Google sees it as 404 errors or is it just something I can ignore because it works for the user? If it is hurting our quality and therefore our rankings, how can I correct it so that best practices are used? I have attached an image of the links and here is an example page --> http://www.sourcemedicalequipment.com/Perch-Polyurethane-Industrial-Stool-18-25-p/idst2.htm The links in the description section have anchor text "All 3 Choices" and result in a popup information page. If you cut and paste the URL's that they are redirecting to end in a 404 but if you use the link on the page it results in a popup information window. Hope I explained that well. Thanks for your help! wrEmQnwWQo
