Odd 404 Errors in WP That I cannot find the origin
-
Hello Everyone,
I have a really odd error that I cannot figure out how to fix. I keep getting a 404 error (through google webmaster tools, and SEOmoz) at this url http://www.cio-tech.com/cios-oracle-optimization-results-roi-justification-save-20m-over-5-years/www.SynSynAck.com...
I am not even too sure how this link originated because the first part is a URL to a blog post, and the second is another website that I have.
I'd appreciate any help on the matter.
-
Once I popped on the page, I saw the www.syn.... link. After that I just hovered my mouse near it and saw the URL and where your 404 error was.
What I usually do is view page source if I get a 404 error, since it tells you what the error is.
-
That fixed it, there was some odd issue with a plugin I was using "CKE Editor" that it wouldn't let me type in the link properly, super odd.
For future reference, how did you find the page where the actual anchor was placed?
Thanks for your help!

Your post:
http://www.cio-tech.com/cios-oracle-optimization-results-roi-justification-save-20m-over-5-years/
First paragraph:
improvements… a technical companion Video is posted on www.SynSynAck.comshowing the case study packet trace explaining the technical analysis to find optimization opportunities
Now that hyperlink is anchored as www.SynSynAck.com, but the actual URL is
http://www.cio-tech.com/cios-oracle-optimization-results-roi-justification-save-20m-over-5-years/www.SynSynAck.com
Go back into the post, and edit the URL/Hyperlink to just www.synsynack.com
And that should do it.

In your SEOmoz report you are able to download all errors as a CSV file. The final column of this file will tell you the referring page of your 404. That should allow you to identify the culprit!

Best strategy to handle over 100,000 404 errors.
I recently been given a site that has over one-hundred thousand 404 error codes listed in Google Webmasters. It is really odd because according to Google Webmasters, the pages that are linking to these 404 pages are also pages that no longer exist (they are 404 pages themselves). These errors were a result of site migration that had occurred. Appreciate any input on how one might go about auditing and repairing large amounts of 404 errors. Thank you.

Webmaster Tools finding phantom 404s?
We recently (three months now!) switched over a site from .co.uk to .com and all old urls are re-directing to the new site. However, Google Webmaster tools is flagging up hundreds of 404s from the old site and yet doesn't report where the links were found, i.e. in the 'Linked From' tab there is no data and the old links are not in the sitemap. SEOmoz crawls do not report any 404s. Any ideas?
