Welcome to the Q&A Forum

That's all this information i needed, on one easy read guide... thank you

Thanks for your reply Joe, very helpful.

now it's pointed out to me, it's obvious there's nothing pointing at the pages listed.

I'm wondering how these URLs are even being picked up though. Looking at the structure (/shop/article), they're possibly from an old version of our online shop... so mostly the products still exist, just not on those URLs. It might be worth putting a stack of 301 redirects in place of those 404s, or it might be a complete waste of time... II'm sure your blog post will help me decide. Thanks Again.

(edit)... yeah i reckon I'll 301 all those pages on which the products still exist... seems to make sense.

But I'd still like to understand where these URLs are being picked up... if they're not on our website and not found in In-Bound Links, where are they being found or generated???

Hi guys,

I'm slowly getting to grips with all the aspects of using Moz.
Looking at my link analysis, under the tab labelled Top Pages by Page Authority, there's an awful lot of 404 pages listed. Are these pages which are being linked to (either internally or externally), and should I put a 301 redirect on all the pages listed?

I've attached a picture...

Thank you both, really helpful

hi guys. I'm currently working through the reported crawl errors in Moz Analytics, but an unsure what to do about some of them. for example...

Searchresults.asp?search=frankie+says+relax

is showing as having duplicate page content and page title as

SearchResults.asp?searching=Y&sort=13&search=Frankie+Says+Relax&show=24

There's all sorts of searchresults.asp page being flagged. Is this something i can safely ignore or is it something i should endeavour to rectify?

I'm also getting errors reported on shoppingcart.asp pages as well as pindex.asp (product index).

I'm thinking i should maybe add disallow/ shoppingcart.asp to my robots text file, but am unsure as to whether i should be blocking robots from the search results pages and product index (which is essentially a secondary sitemap).

Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks, Dave
