Page Not Found Help!
-
Hi,
I recently (about 2 months ago) moved a blog from a separate domain name over to my eCommerce site to help with marketing. http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog.
I seem to have gotten it all to work right, but I'm getting tons of 404 errors and they all have " in them for example: http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/”http://www.moondoggieinc.com/custom_dog_tanks_and_tees.php”
I'm not sure how this happened of how to fix it, but there are about 250 pages like this.
I know how to redirect them all with a 301 in htaccess, but Im not sure if that's the appropriate course to fix this or if that's just putting a patch on something that's causing a more major issue. Or do i just need to write 250 301 redirects?
Thanks!

Go to http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/index.php/moondoggies-new-dog-boutique/
Ctrl+F > Check out the Argyle Sweater Vest from Moondoggie.
^ that link points to: http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/index.php/moondoggies-new-dog-boutique/”http://www.moondoggieinc.com/argyle_sweater_vest.php”
Best way to find broken links it to run a spider and find 4xx and 5xx header responses. I recommend Screaming Frog SEO Spider tool.
If you don't mind waiting a long time, you can use W3C Link checker tool - here is a report for your page: http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moondoggieinc.com%2Fblog%2Findex.php%2Fmoondoggies-new-dog-boutique%2F&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check

Hi!, Thank you!
I can't seem to find the links in the posts that are not working correctly. I do see that the tumblr widget link is not correct. I think i might need to reinstall that widget as it's code seems to have gottten messed up in the move.
In GWT i see where the bad links are linked from, but then when I go to that page I can't find the bad link?
How to I find them to fix them?
Thanks!!!!!!!

Looks like you are linking to 404 pages, just need to fix the links, remove the errors from GWT and you should be golden.

Page Replication on Search
Hi. We recently created a Christmas category page on our eCommerce website (christowhome.co.uk). Earlier today, I Googled ‘Christow Christmas Silhouette Lights’ (Christow being the name of our website and Christmas silhouette lights being one of the sub-categories we recently created). I was curious to see how the page appeared on search. Bizarrely, the page appeared multiple times on search (if you click on the link above, it should show you the search results). As you can see, multiple meta titles and descriptions have been created for the same page. This is something that is affecting a number of our Christmas category pages. I don't quite understand why this has happened. We recently added filters to the category. Could the filters be responsible? Any idea how I can prevent this from happening? How I can stop Google indexing these weird replica pages? Many thanks, Dave

How to find orphan pages
Hi all, I've been checking these forums for an answer on how to find orphaned pages on my site and I can see a lot of people are saying that I should cross check the my XML sitemap against a Screaming Frog crawl of my site. However, the sitemap is created using Screaming Frog in the first place... (I'm sure this is the case for a lot of people too). Are there any other ways to get a full list of orphaned pages? I assume it would be a developer request but where can I ask them to look / extract? Thanks!

Advice on whether we 301 redirect a page or update existing page?
Hi guys, any advice would be really appreciated. We have an existing page that ranks well for 'red widgets'. The page isn't monetised right now, but we're bringing in a new product onto our site that we optimised for 'blue widgets'. Unfortunately, not enough research was done for this page and we've now realised that consumers actually search for 'red widgets' when looking for the product we're creating as 'blue widgets'. The problem with this is that the 'red widgets' page is in a completely different category of our site than what it needs to be (it needs to be with 'blue widgets'). So, my question is; Should we do a 301 redirect from our 'red-widgets' page to our 'blue-widgets' page which we want to update and optimise the content on there for 'red-widgets'. Or, should we update the existing red-widgets page to have the right products and content on there, even thought it is in the wrong place of our site and users could get confused as to why they are there. If we do a 301 redirect to our new page, will we lose our rankings and have to start again, or is there a better way around this? Thanks! Dave
