404 errors on page urls that don't even exist

Unfortunately I can't speak for Google. Those pages all return 200 responses so they are valid. As I said, they are caused by the improperly formed link in conjunction with the server dynamically creating those pages.
Thanks,

I have to abdmit that I am a newbie,
but I have one question,
if it is a server configuration problem,
why these links/folders are not seen by the google spider?

Hey Koure,
Thanks for reaching out. You're not going to see a bug in the crawler that creates pages like this. What you're seeing is a problem with how your server is configured in conjunction with the code on your page. As you can see in this curl:
There are a huge number of pages where you link to "/falli/" and it just keeps creating those pages. It seems eventually your server puts a limit on the URL length but before that 404 they are all 200.
Unfortunately I can't really offer any great advice on fixing these in particular as I don't do web support. You can likely pass this along to your web admin and they can source a resolution. Also maybe another user here can help point you in the right direction.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
The fact is that I don´t have the http://www.yoxo.it/catalog/seo_sitemap/category/ folder nor the http://www.yoxo.it/catalog/seo_sitemap folder.
When the seomoz engineers think about to fix it?

Looks like some kind of a glitch in the crawler.

Should we rename and update a page or create a new page entirely?
Hi Moz Peoples! We have a small site with a simple site navigation, with only a few links on the nav bar. We have been doing some work to create a new page, which will eventually replace one of the links on the nav bar. The question we are having is, is it better to rename the existing page and replace its content and then wait for the great indexer to do its thing, or perm delete the page and replace it with the new page and content? Or is this a case where it really makes no difference as long as the redirects are set up correctly?

Pages I don't want
Hello Friends, A few days ago, I set up my wordpress site and everything is great so far, there's just one small problem. Wenn I search for site:mysite.com I see a lot of pages in the index I don't want to have on my site. It looks like demo pages from the theme I bought. Examples: http://mysite.com/themefusion_es_groups/group1/ http://mysite.com/slide/youtube/ http://mysite.com/lorem-ipsum-2/ http://mysite.com/slide/demo-5 What would be the best way to handle it? Simply delete the pages, then a soft 404 shows. Delete the pages and 301 them to the start page. Are they disapearing from the infex then? I am very grateful for tips regarding this! Thanks in Advance:)

Regarding Google Title 'Width' and changing Meta Titles w/o Penalty?
A vast majority of pages on my site are now too wide (the character count was fine prior to the March update). I want to go through and update them so they display properly and are not too wide.However, I am concerned, as my understanding was that changing Meta Titles is dangerous and can have a negative effect on your rankings and can cause real issues. Is this an opportunity to change my Titles all-together without any kind of penalty? Or can I only trim the end part? In summary: 1. Can I edit all of my Meta Titles without affecting my rankings? 2. If no, how do I edit them properly to fit within the proper width and not cause any issues? 3. If yes, I can go through and change all my Meta Titles to whatever extent and optimize them to reflect latest best practices? There are changes I wanted to make to all my meta titles but I've been afraid to... due to fear of rankings drops etc Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

I'm ranking Position 7,8,11,12,13,14 &15 but would rather one page top three - are they competing?
For the search phrase "office design birmingham" in the uk. I have mutiple pages ranking in position 7,8,11,12,13,14 & 15! This is all very well but are they somehow competing? Am i better off doing something different to get one or two into the top 3 rather than 7 in the top 15?! Many thanks for your opinion and advice. James
