404 Error - Please Help us
-
When we checked valuable Top pages, we noticed two types of 404 pages listed in our domain
Example 1 : www.test.com/www.test.com/ecommerce.html
Example 2 : www.test.com/test/ecommerce.html
But we do not see any such 404 page errors in the Google Webmaster tool. Moz Top Pages Section only shows these as errors
So please advise, if these are major errors or not?
If these are errors, please help us to fix this as we do not have such URLs in our domain
Awaiting your urgent help

You defintely want to reduce the number of "404 pages" on your website, as this can increase your companies, bounce rate.
we sell, bath garden rooms, some pages had a very high bounce rate- this could have been due to broken links causing 404 page errors.

Hi there!
Sorry for any confusion. If you're seeing odd URLs show up in your Top Pages report within Link Explorer or the Links section of your campaign, it is because we found a link out in the internet that leads to that page. It is entirely possible that whichever site it is coming from has an incorrect or inaccurate URL for your site. We could definitely help take a look at this if you email in the campaign details to help@moz.com! Thanks.

Unsolved Help with my 4xx Errors
Site Crawler has found a range of 4xx errors on my website. But, the urls aren't ones I've created and instead have the handle of my social channels attached to the end - and I've no idea how this has happened.

Moz bot transforms special characters into fake 404 Pages in Reports
I have a lot of 404 links in my exported Moz Pro reports which are not actually Not Found pages when checking the Referring URL. For example: Referring URL:
Link Explorer | | ProspectoGroup
https://ofertolino.ro/oferte/barn%C3%A4ngen 404:
https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%83%C2%A4ngen What happens is that the referring URL leads to a redirect (https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%A4ngen) but it never leads to the specified 404 Page (which has even a more weird symbol in the URL when it is url decoded) in the report. What could be the issue here and is the Moz bot responsible for such misbehaviour?0 -

803 Errors, how to deal with this?
Hello, During my last two MOZ crawls over couple of hundred 803 errors showed up. Thought that this might stop, but nop still creeping up. Not sure what has caused this. My server providers are WP-Engine and they already said that all good at their end. Pretty much all of those errors are for photos on my blog. I'm a photographer. I have a web guy as well, but he is not sure what to do now and how to get this fixed. Website is a-fotografy.co.uk Thank you and if someone could shed some light. I did research here already, but nothing what cover photo side. Regards, Armands

403 errors in Moz but not in Google Search Console
Hello, Moz is showing that one of the sites I manage has about ten 403 errors on main pages, including the home page. But when I go to Google Search Console, I'm not getting any 403 errors. I don't know too much about this site (I handle the SEO for a few sites as a contractor for a digital marketing agency), but I can see that it's a WordPress site (I'm not sure if that's relevant). Can I assume this a Moz issue only? Thanks, Susannah Noel

Repeated mysterious 404's from ancient site structure killing my rankings
Several years ago I changed my site structure to go from a flash based site to a blog based wordpress site. After doing so I went from page 1 to page 30 for my relevant search terms. I have employed people to help me track down the problem and I believe that they have narroed it to the existance of 404's being created from some unknown internal source. I have been for years getting links like this... <colgroup><col width="792"></colgroup>

When I do a moz crawl of the site, none of these links show up. Therefore I have no way of finding the source of these links (they also do not show me the source in WMT as they should). We have completely cleared the site and rebuilt it and although it is still only a couple of weeks in it still does not appear to have stopped them. Does anyone have any way of helping me find the source of these mysterious 404's?0
