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.

How do I find my Crunchbase Organization ID for Knowledge Graph Optimization?
With the depreciation of Freebase, we're moving some of our data to Wikidata. One of the identifiers (and signals for a Knowledge Graph placement) is your Crunchbase Organization ID. However, I can't find any reference to this number on our company Crunchbase profile. There's an application ID in the source code but it seems to be a different number length than other Org. ID examples I've seen. Anybody have experience and know where I can find this?

Soft 404s for unpublished & 301'd content
Hi, One site I work with unpublished a lot of thin content. Great idea, right? These unpublished pages were then 301'd up to the main category page that they previously existed in. Now Google Webmaster Tools calls them out as soft 404 errors. This seems unexpected since the pages were 301'd. Here is my question; Is this a serious problem that may affect the site's overall organic results and if so what should I do about it? Thanks... Darcy

Using disavow tool for 404s
Hey Community, Got a question about the disavow tool for you. My site is getting thousands of 404 errors from old blog/coupon/you name it sites linking to our old URL structure (which used underscores and ended in .jsp). It seems like the webmasters of these sites aren't answering back or haven't updated their sites in ages so it's returning 404 errors. If I disavow these domains and/or links will it clear out these 404 errors in Google? I read the GWT help page on it, but it didn't seem to answer this question. Feel free to ask any questions that may help you understand the issue more. Thanks for your help,

Empty search results labeled as Soft 404s?
I have a site with faceted search but sometimes when someone drills down too far it ends up with no results. The page and outlined and faceted navigation are still there. The site uses dynamic URLs for the faceted navigation but Google is reporting these no results pages as Soft 404s. How should we handle these? Should we redirect these? Can we return 404 in the status code but still show the no results page they are looking for? Thanks for your responses

Need to find scientific studies

Any way to find which domains are 301 redirected to competitors' websites?
By looking at the work from an SEO collegue it became clear that his weak linkbuilding graph probably is not the cause for his good rankings for a pretty competitive keyword. (also no social mentions where found) I was wondering what it could be, site structure and other on page optimization factors seems to be ok and I don't think there will be exceptionally good or bad user behavior... Finally I looked at the competitors and found that they have more links, better content en better design, so I got a little stuck. The only reason I can think of is that he is doing 301 redirects (or is rel=canonical tags). Is there a way to trace these redirects back to the source in order to include this important variable in your competitor research? thnx
