Google not found errors in webmaster tool help
-
Hi,
Google Webmaster tools sent me a few messages recently about the jump in the number of 'not found' errors.
From 0 to 290 errors, ouch.
I know what it's from but I think Google is seeing things. We developed another page/subdomain we're working on with links back to the root domain.
Basically a complete list of articles page that lists each article and links back to the root domain.
Not sure what Google is crawling but the links that would result in a 'not found' error aren't there.
Will these disappear over time?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Aaron,
Do I get some examples those links ?
-
Thanks, just curious where they would be on my sitemap if they aren't on the site itself?
The links that google is 'crawling' simply don't exist. So there's nothing to 301. That's what I'm confused about.
Thanks again.
Aaron

Fixing Crawl Errors
Hi! I moved my Wordpress blog back in August, and lost much of my site traffic. I recently found over 1000 crawl errors in Webmaster Tools because some of my redirects weren't transferred, so we are working on fixing the errors and letting Google know. I'm wondering how long I should expect for Google to recognize that the errors have been fixed and for the traffic to start returning? Thanks! Jodi - momsfavoritestuff.com

Duplicate exact match domains flagged by google - need help reinclusion
Okay I admit, I've been naughty....I have 270+ domains that are all exact match for city+keyword and have built tons of back links to all of them. I reaped the benefits....and now google has found my duplicate templates and flagged them all down. Question is, how to get the reincluded quickly? Do you guys think converting a site to a basic wordpress template and then simply using 275 different templates and begging applying each site manually would do it, or do you recommend. 1. create a unique site template for each site 2. create unique content any other advice for getting reincluded? Aside from owning up and saying, "hey i used the same template for all the sites, and I have created new templates and unique content, so please let me back".
