404 Crawl Diagnostics with void(0) appended to URL

[moshen]

Hello

I am getting loads of 404 reported in my Crawl report, all appended with void(0) at the end.  For example:

http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)
The site is running on Drupal 7,

Has anyone come across this before?

Kind Regards

Moshe

I think void(0) problem from WordPress theme if you use WordPress. Or, You can't setup perfectly javascript void(0) code on your template file.

See the perfect javascript void(0) link examples on this page of wikihat => Kickass Torrents

See the "click to open" button there.

Hi Moshe! Did this ever work out for you?

Hi Kane

Many thanks for the links.  The Google forum link seems like to be the direction.  I am not the developer of the site, but will forward the link to them hoping they will help.  (been 3 years since site went live).

Many thanks

Hi Dimitri

I am pretty sure that it is only the fact that something is producing links with void(0) at the end.  The link I used in my original post should actually be:

http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/tongues

The MOZ crawl report is saying that the above page is the Referrer to the

http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)

This repeats itself in many pages on the site.

Many thanks
Moshe

Hi Moshen,

My guess is that somewhere on the site, someone created a pop up window or another load effect and they used void(0) to create a link. The better practice is to create a normal link and control what happens when it's clicked by using Javascript. You could also add rel="nofollow" to those links, but it's less ideal than the first option.

These explain the issue as well for additional reference:

Hi there.

It seems to be that there is something wrong with javascript. Because it seems like piece of JS code. However, even if i remove void part, the page still doesn't exist. You sure it's just "void(0)" problem?
