Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi all,

We have a client who has a lot of inbound links from external pages that are broken/404. The 404 pages are EXTERNAL and linking to my client's pages, but their domain still has authority and their home page (and other pages) still load.

My question is: what should we do about this? Do we detox those links, or are they still sending some juice given that they have domain authority, despite the fact that the pages linking to my client are broken?

So in other words:

- My client is: yyyy.com

- They have a link from vvvv.com/services, which is a broken page

- So what should we do about this?

Thanks all!

Gavin

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for all of your valuable input, and I think that i might be getting close to a solution!

Would there be anyone out there kind enough to actually take a look at the web sites code for me (even just very quickly) to see if there is anything to suggest, or if I am missing anything?

The issue occurs when you got from this page:

http://www.sunway.ie/sunholidays/search.asp?view=detail&aff=&form=main&type=J&dest=AGA&grade=4&duration=7&origin=DUB&sDate=08/03/2014&pax=2&childs=0&infants=0#4 STAR

to this page:

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for that...  sounds good BUT I do not want to filter this traffic out altogether. So if I do this then from this point on will referral traffic be re-attributed to their correct sources?

Hi Mozzers!

One of my clients is having an issue with cross-domain tracking, in other words their own domain is seen as a huge referrer.

When you land on their site, which is www.sunway.ie, and then choose a holiday to book it then takes you to another domain which is www.sunwayholidays.ie, during the booking process.

I'm just wondering if there is a Google Analytics genius out there who may be able to take a quick look and let me know if there is any obvious solution to this within the Google Analytics code?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Gavin
