Hi,

I have a wordpres site and have 140 4XX (Client Error) errors such as:

http://www.campervanhire.com/advertise/http:%2F%2Fwww.campervanhire.com%2Fadvertise%2F

http://www.campervanhire.com/australia/camper-van-hire-australia/http:%2F%2Fwww.campervanhire.com%2Faustralia%2Fcamper-van-hire-australia%2F

The bulk are all the same problem, different urls but all duplicated with %2F at the end.

Not sure how they were generated or how fix this?
Any info would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Malcolm

How can I make a clickable header on Tumblr (with several links to click)

I would like to make a clickable header with several links to click, for example the possibility to click Facebook & Twitter icons to get redirected to my twitter and Facebook page. I know how to make the clickable image and get the html for it. But where in the HTML on tumblr should I insert it? Can I override the custom header with my HTML header somehow? Appreciate all the help I can get, Thanks.

Is modifying already published articles a problem?

Is there any problem updating the date and text of a news article if the URL remains the same? For example, if we published a minor sports story on Monday and on Wednesday there was a small update to the story I would like to take my original article and change the date + first paragraph of the text to make it still relevant for my users to read without having to write an entirely new article since this is not a major story and there is not much new content to add. Any SEO issues with take the original article and changing the first paragraph + title?

Duplicate content problems, so why does WordPress post onto Tumblr?

Hi Everyone, Basically I know that if you have duplicate content your ranking is effected! This I understand, so why is it that WordPress has the option to post your blog entry straight onto your paired Tumblr account? Surely if this can be done, I can have the same content on the company website but also on WP and Tumblr? Or is there some sort of method to how it works specifically for those 2 websites? Thanks in advance.

Does the duplicate content on the crawl errors report test content on external websites?

Hello, Can you tell me if this is just duplicate content within my site or if it also recognises duplicate content on external sites as well? Thanks

Cosmo feature: any difference between linking a phrase or .com?

I just had an article posted on Cosmopolitan.com to my site, www.100redflags.com. My request to them was that they link specifically the phrase "100 Red Flags" to http://100redflags.com, but they actually said "go to 100redflags.com" - with 100redflags.com hyperlinked. My question: If I'm trying to build rank with the term "red flags", or at least "100 red flags", is the way that they did it helping me at all? If it will help me more to have them link the phrase "100 Red Flags", does it matter whether they do that today when traffic is high, or tomorrow when traffic is lower? Thanks for the clarification, Bill p.s their post here: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/dating-advice/dating-mistakes-women-make#slide-1

Should You Allow Off-Topic Links in Guest Posts

Hi Mozzers! Suppose you accept guest posts on your blog about marketing and a guest blogger wants to use the anchor text "outdoor clothing" in their bio. Is there a risk to my blog if I allow off-topic links in guest posts? Is there a risk that Google would consider guest post links as paid and apply a penalty? Thanks!
