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!

Website crawl error
Hi all, When I try to crawl a website, I got next error message: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal cookie name" For the moment, I found next explanation: The errors indicate that one of the web servers within the same cookie domain as the server is setting a cookie for your domain with the name "path", as well as another cookie with the name "domain" Does anyone has experience with this problem, knows what it means and knows how to solve it? Thanks in advance! Jens

405 HTTP Status instead of 404
Hi We need to block some www1-pages from being indexed. Now IT has resolved this but pages like http://www1.swisscom.ch/fr/business/pme.html return a 405 status instead of a 404. The pages are currently still indexed in Google. Must the status be changed to 404 or should I just wait and see if Google de-indexes them anyhow?

301 on ALL 404 for Pagerank Recovery, bad idea?
Its a bad idea to do a 301 to the home page of the site on all 404 pages as a way of pagerank recovery? If so, why? Thanks,

Why are my pages getting duplicate content errors?
Studying the Duplicate Page Content report reveals that all (or many) of my pages are getting flagged as having duplicate content because the crawler thinks there are two versions of the same page: http://www.mapsalive.com/Features/audio.aspx http://www.mapsalive.com/Features/Audio.aspx The only difference is the capitalization. We don't have two versions of the page so I don't understand what I'm missing or how to correct this. Anyone have any thoughts for what to look for?
