Error after scanning with browseo.net

Good day! I have done a scan on my site with browseo.net ( and a few other similar scanners ) and got the mess seen in the screenshot. I've tried deleting all the files in the website folder, replace it with a single image file, but it still shows the same error. What could this mean and should i be worried? P.S Found my answer after contacting the helpful support of browseo.net : It took me some time to figure out what was going on, but it seems as if you are mixing content types. Browsers are quite smart when it comes to interpreting the contents, so they are much more forgiving than we are. Browseo crawls your website and detects that you are setting utf-8 as part of the meta information. By doing so, it converts the content in a different character encoding then what they are supposed to be. In a quick test, I tried to fetch the content type based on the response object, but without any success. So I am suspecting that in reality your content is not utf-8 encoded when you parse it into joomla. The wrong character type is then carried over for the body (which explains why we can still read the header information). All of this explains the error. In order for it to work in browseo, you’d have to set the content type correctly, or convert your own content into utf-8 before parsing. It may be that you are either storing this incorrectly in the database (check your db settings for a different content type other than utf-8) or that other settings are a bit messed up. The good news is, that google is probably interpreting your websites correctly, so you won’t be punished for this, but perhaps something to look into… From Paul Piper VKNNnAL.png?1

301 redirect all 404 pages

Hi I would like to have a second opinion on this. I am working on an ecommerce website that they 301 redirect all 404 pages (including the URLs entered incorrectly) to the “All categories page”. Will this have any negative SEO impact?

Proper way to 404 a page on an Ecommerce Website

Hello. I am working on a website that has over 15000 products. When one of these is no longer available - like it's discontinued or something - the page it's on 302s to a 404 page. Example - www.greatdomain.com/awesome-widget Awesome widget is no longer available www. greatdomain.com/awesome-widget 302s to -www.greatdomain.com/404 page. For the most part, these are not worthy of 301s because of lack of page rank/suitable LPs, but is this the correct way to handle them for search engines? I've seen varying opinions. Thanks!

Magento - Google Webmaster Crawl Errors

Hi guys, Started my free trial - very impressed - just thought I'd ask a question or two while I can. I've set up the website for http://www.worldofbooks.com (large bookseller in the UK), using Magento. I'm getting a huge amount of not found crawl errors (27,808), I think this is due to URL rewrites, all the errors are in this format (non search friendly): http://www.worldofbooks.com/search_inventory.php?search_text=&category=&tag=Ure&gift_code=&dd_sort_by=price_desc&dd_records_per_page=40&dd_page_number=1 As oppose to this format: http://www.worldofbooks.com/arts-books/history-of-art-design-styles/the-art-book-by-phaidon.html (the re-written URL). This doesn't seem to really be affecting our rankings, we targeted 'cheap books' and 'bargain books' heavily - we're up to 2nd for Cheap Books and 3rd for Bargain Books. So my question is - are these large amount of Crawl errors cause for concern or is it something that will work itself out? And secondly - if it is cause for concern will it be affecting our rankings negatively in any way and what could we do to resolve this issue? Any points in the right direction much appreciated. If you need any more clarification regarding any points I've raised just let me know. Benjamin Edwards
