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

No google traffic for this site? Help?
Hi We have not done this web site http://climateacs.co.uk but have now picked it up and its getting no traffic what so ever from google do you think its been blacklisted? I have added it to my webmaster tools and there are no manual actions on it and most of the backlinks on google webmaster tools are from yell.com. However when I run it on opensiteexplorer I am seeing some chinese type links?? It is not really showing many search queries at all when you view them in webmaster tools under United Kingdom. I was going to start citation building for the address to help support the google places entry but just wanted to see what other peoples opinion was really on this site? Thanks Tracy

Bing Webmaster tool
Hi Fellas, I wanted to know once you verify the BIng Webmaster tool (via xml file) for a dev site, do you have to do the verification process again for the final site? I thought I needed to do the verification again but once I added the final website (which have almost a similar URL) into the webmaster tool account, it seemed that I didn't have to verify it. I am a bit confused. Thank you for clarifying
