Crawl Errors
-
Okay, I was just in my Google Webmaster Tools and was looking at some of the stats.
I have 1354 "not found" pages google says.
Many of these URL's are bizarre. I don't know what they are. Others I do know.
What should I do about this? Especially all the URL's I don't even know what they are?

Okay, and thanks Alan!!

These errors don't affect you negatively at all, it's more for you to find errors in your site. Follow Alan's advice by looking at the 'links' data and fix the one's that are caused by any coding problems in your site. You will always get a certain amount of bad links coming from external sources, you can either just leave them or if you are finding many links to the same 404 page you can actually recapture that link juice by 301 redirecting them to a relevant page on your site.

can you use those individually to get to a real page on the site? or even when you do them manually, do they lead to a 404 not found error? Links in Google's system come from somewhere - either within a site's architecture that site owners weren't aware of, or from 3rd party sources that got something wrong in how they found or scraped content. Many of the URLs Google reports show a "links" column off to the right you can click on to see where those URLs are located on the web either on your own site or another...

Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
Hi, i need help regarding Moz Can't Crawl Your Site i also share screenshot that Moz was unable to crawl your site on Mar 26, 2022. Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.

Crawl Diagnostics: Duplicate Content Issues
The Moz crawl diagnostic is showing that I have some duplicate content issues on my site. For the most part, these are variations of the same product that are listed individually (i.e size/color). What would be the best way to deal with this? Choose one variation of the product and add a canonical tag? Thanks

GWT Error for RSS Feed
Hello there! I have a new RSS feed that I submitted to GWT. The feed validates no problemo on http://validator.w3.org/feed/ and also when I test the feed in GWT it comes back aok, finds all the content with "No errors found". I recently got a issue with GWT not being able to read the rss feed, error on line 697 "We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting." I am assuming this is an intermittent issue, possibly we had a server issue on the site last night etc. I am checking with my developer this morning. Wanted to see if anyone else had this issue, if it resolved itself, etc. Thanks!

Get rid of a large amount of 404 errors
Hi all, The problem:Google pointed out to me that I have a large increase of 404 errors. In short I had software before that created pages (automated) for long tale search terms and feeded them to google. Recently I quit this service and all those pages (about 500000) were deleted. Now google GWM points out about 800000 404 errors. What I noticed: I had a large amount of 404's before when I changed my website. I fixed it (proper 302) and as soon as all the 404's in GWM were gone I had around 200 visitors a day more. It seems that a clean site is better positioned. Anybody any suggestion on how to tell google that all urls starting with www.domain/webdir/ should be deleted from cache?
