How to properly remove 404 errors

[jjtech]

Hi,

According to seomoz report I have two 404 errors on my site. (http://screencast.com/t/2FG8fA1dvGB) I removed them from google webmasters central about 2 weeks ago (http://screencast.com/t/MQ8XBvrFm ) , but they're still showing as an error in the next report (weekly update).

Is there anything else you do about 404 or just remove urls through gwc? Or maybe seomoz data is delayed?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Thanks for your responses. I had no access to my laptop and for some reason couldn't post my reply from Galaxy s2. I stop losing my sleep over it:)

Regards,

Don't even worry about it, just make sure they aren't broken links still on your site. Two 404's is nothing to lose a wink of sleep over. If you fixed the dread links they'll phase out of reports

I'm thinking the data might just be delayed. Here's a page with some information regarding link analysis: http://www.seomoz.org/help/link-analysis.

There's an FAQ on the page that reads as follows:

How often is the link analysis data updated? Your link analysis data is pulled directly from the SEOmoz Mozscape index which updates every 3-4 weeks.

If you've removed the links through Google Webmaster Tools you should be OK. You will want to make sure you aren't still linking to those URLs of course.

Hope this helps!
