Webmaster Tools

Webmaster tools is throwing up an error for this page http://www.itwasntmyfault.com.au/testimonial/sharon-m/
HTTP Error: 404 - When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot due to an HTTP status error. All accessible URLs will still be submitted.The page is fine.... any advice?Thanks

I've had a look at the page and like Martijn said it seems fine to me. I also crawled it as Google bot user agent and it returned a correct 200 status.
It could perhaps be a temporary server issue and the page/site is going down intermediately? You could check your server logs to see if there has been any issues? You could also try a free up time checker such as one of these: 10 Free Services to Monitor Your Site's Uptime.
If the error keeps happening and the page isn't actually going down, might be best to raise the question on Google's support forums; unless of course someone comes along here with the answer!

Hi Robert,
If you're sure that the page is working fine (it also seems to me, I've just tried) then mark it as fixed within Google Webmaster Tools and don't worry to much about it. Only when you have to deal with hundreds or thousands of 404 pages you could get in trouble someday.

Webmaster tools content keywords conundrum
I'm working on optimising a phrase that is made up of two words. I've noticed in webmaster tools that the two words are listed separately under the content keywords section. This is fine apart from the two words are listed at very different significance levels, 2 and 18. Drilling deeper it shows that both these words have two variants. The word in position 2 occurs 483 times and the word in 18 occurs 60 times. Sadly the phrase is commercially sensitive as I'd like to just be able to share it here but can't. Should I be looking to include the weaker word more frequently on the site? In anchor text? Or is this normal distribution? Would optimising the weaker word risk the wrath of Panda? moz-question.jpg
