Hi Ravi,
Not sure which link checker you are using - I did a quick check with both Screaming Frog & an extension in Chrome. Both indicate that the anchors do not generate 404's. They seem to be functional as well so it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, anchors exist for ages and do not cause SEO issues - so it's safe to use them.I noticed that both the www & non-www version are accessible - you might want to choose a preferred version & redirect the other one.

Need help on declining page rank
Hi Guys,
On-Page Optimization | | Slideuplift123
We had a consistent page ranking for a specific keyword between 5 and 8 positions on google. This week all of a sudden the page which was ranking for that keyword no longer ranks for it and another page has started ranking for that keyword that too at 20th position. I am so confused why has this happened? I didn't do any changes to that page or to the now ranking page. Can anyone help why could this be happening?0 -

Javascript(0) extension causing an excess of 404's
For some reason I am getting a duplicate version of my urls with /javascript(0) at the end. These are creating an abundance of 404 errors. I know I am not supposed to block JS files so what is the best way to block these? Ex: http://www.jasonfox.me/infographics/page/8/javascript(0) is a 404 http://www.jasonfox.me/infographics/page/8/ is not Thank you.

What to do with removed pages and 404 error
I recently removed about 600 'thin' pages from my site which are now showing as 404 errors in WMT as expected. As I understand it I should just let these pages 404 and eventually they'll be dropped from the index. There are no inbound links pointing at them so I don't need to 301 them. They keep appearing in WMT as 404's though so should I just 'mark as fixed' until they stop appearing? Is there any other action I need to take?

How do I fix a 404 with a 301
I understand the need for fixing 404's but I have yet to have a serious walkthrough of how to set up a 301. From all the talk on the forums and such I'm pretty sure this is easy but I've just never done it before and I could really use a walk through. Thanks
