Unsolved Finding broken urls
-
Hello,
This feels like it should be straightforward but I'm not having much luck.
I have a pdf url which is no longer in use and takes the user to a 404 page.
I want to find all instances of when this pdf url is used on my site so I can update the copy and remove the link.
Please note - a redirect is not the right solution for this issue.
Hope you can help.
Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,
To find all instances of the outdated PDF URL on your site, you can try these steps:
Site Search: Use Google to search for the URL across your site by typing: site:URL o. This will show any pages where the URL is mentioned.
Internal Search Tools: If your CMS has a search function, use it to search for the URL directly within your site's content.
Code Search: If you have access to your site's code repository, perform a search in the code files for the outdated URL to locate every instance where it's used.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance. Also checkout my Website (Click Here)

Unsolved I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
Hello I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know. For example. I created a noindex site for a few days event purposes. Using a random domain like this: event.example.com. Expecting 5000+ clicks per day. Is it possible to gain some traffic juice from this event website domain "example.com" to my other main site "main.com" but without exposing its URL. Thought about using 301 redirecting "example.com" to "main.com". But it will reveal the example-b.com to the general public if someone visits the domain "example.com". Also thought about using a canonical URL, but it would not be working because the event site is noindex. or it would not matter at all 🤔 Wondering if there is a thing like this to gain some traffic juice for another domain? Thanks

301 Redirects from example.com to store.example.com and then removing store.example.com subdomain
Hi I'm trying to wrap my head around the best approach for migrating our website. We're migrating from our example.com (joomla) site to our existing store.example.com (shopify) site... with the plan to finish the redirects/migration then remove the subdomain from shopify and use example.com moving forward. I've never done this and asking here to see if any harm will come from re-directing example.com URLs to store.example.com URL's then changing the store.example.com URL's to example.com. Right now my plan would run like this: redirect example.com URL's to store.example.com remove subdomain on store.example.com use example.com moving forward. wonder what happens next? Is there going to be any issues here, possible harm to the URL's?

On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
Hi!, I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help! I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ However if I edit this to https the search completes fine. Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk? Thanks!
