      Hi all,

      We got this error for almost a month now. Until now we were outsourcing the webdesign and optimization, and now we are doing it in house, and the previous company did not gave us all the information we should know. And we've been trying to find this error and fix it with no result.

      Have you encounter this issue before? Did anyone found or knows a solution?

      Also would this affect our website in terms of SEO and in general.

      Would be very grateful to hear from you. Many thanks.

      Here is what appears on the bottom of the site( www.manvanlondon.co.uk)

      Not Found

      The requested URL /java/backlinker.php was not found on this server.


      <address>Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at 01adserver.com Port 80</address>

      <address> </address>

        Hi Monica,

        It's almost certainly an issue related to the Backlinker plugin given that error message, though clearly it's not a straightforward solution. I found this post on the wordpress forum, perhaps this is your issue too (by member pee_dee):

        "Look in header.php inside your current theme and find this line:

        http://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js

        This server is no longer able to provide the .js file linked to your theme. I found it mine at:

        http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.3.min.js

        Get a hold of the .js file (or google the heck out of the .js file you need) and point to it on your server."

        Hope that works

        George

          Hi George,

          Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we believe is not a plug in issue, because we disable each plug in and there was no improvement. As for the Backlinker plug in we don't seem to have a specific one. Our robot text in the general settings seems to be normal, but we can't seem to locate the on with the error.

          Do you have any other ideas/ suggestions?

          Thank you for your time.

          Monica

            These are the most common errors which occur when we use word press plugins. If you are using a paid theme support team will help you in handling this issue.

              It looks like this error is caused by a plugin you have installed and enabled on your wordpress site that probably isn't compatible with the version of wordpress you're running. If you disable the Backlinker plugin it will probably go away.

              As for SEO impact - it appears to also have mangled your /robots.txt (which you should fix), and the user experience of seeing this error is poor and so it's worth fixing.

                How long should an old site redirecting to a new site remain activated on a server?

                Once I switch a site to a new domain (with links to corresponding/relative pages), will I have to keep the old site live forever for those links to work, or how long should I wait before I inactivate the old site on our server?

                Website Redesign - What to do with old 301 URLs?

                My current site is on wordpress. We are currently designing a new wordpress site, with the same URLs. Our current approach is to go into the server, delete the current website files and ad the new website files. My current site has old urls which are 301 redirected to current urls. Here is my question.  In the current redesign process, do i need to create pages for old the 301 redirected urls so that we do not lose them in the launch of the new site? or is the 301 command currently existing outside of our server so this does not matter? Thank you in advance.

                Privacy Policy: index it/? And where to place it?

                Hi Everyone, Two questions, first: should you allow google to index your privacy policy? Second: for a service based site (not e-commerce, not selling anything) should you put the policy in the footer so it's site wide or just on the "contact us" form page? Best, Ruben

                404 error on phone numbers

                Hi, I'm receiving a 404 error on my callto: phone number and wondered if there's a way to fix the problem. We've not experienced it before so I'm not sure if it's something to do with the crawl? Any help massively appreciated! Thanks Anne

                Redirects (301/302) versus errors (404)

                I am not able to convincingly decide between using redirects versus using 404 errors. People are giving varied opinions. Here are my cases 1. Coding errors - we put out a bad link a. Some people are saying redirect to home page; the user at least has something to do PLUS more importantly it does NOT hurt your SEO ranking. b. Counter - the page ain't there. Return 404 2. Product removed - link1 to product 1 was out there. We removed product1; so link1 is also gone. It is either lying in people's bookmarks, OR because of coding errors we left it hanging out at some places on our site.

                Google also indexed trailing slash version - PLEASE HELP

                Hi Guys, We redesigned the website and somehow our canonical extension decided to add a trailing slash to all URLs. Previously our canonical URLs didn't have a trailing slash. During the redesign we haven't changed the URLs. They remained same but we have now two versions indexed. One with trailing slash one without. I've now fixed the issue and removed the the trailing slash from canonical URLs. Is this the correct way of fixing it? Will our rankings be effected in a negative way? Is there anything else I need to do. The website went live last Tuesday. Thanks

                URLs with Hashtags - Does Google Index Them?

                Hi there, I have a potential issue with a site whereby all pages are dynamically populated using Javascript.  Thus, an example of an URL on their site would be www.example.com/#!/category/product. I have read lots of conflicting information on the web - some says Google will ignore everything after the hashtag; other people say that Google will now index everything after the hashtag. Does anybody have any conclusive information about this?  Any links to Google or Matt Cutts as confirmation would be brilliant. P.S. I am aware about the potential issue of duplicate content, but I can assure you that has been dealt with.  I am only concerned about whether Google will index full URLs that contain hashtags. Thanks all! Mark

                Should I Remove URL extentions for SEO?

                We are having a developer design our website with Magento. I noticed the main pages such as About Us have no file extention in the URL. But the product pages have a .html file extention. I was once told to remove the file extentions. Are there benefits to removing the .html file extension and if so, is there a way we can do this using Magento?
