404 errors on page urls that don't even exist

Unfortunately I can't speak for Google. Those pages all return 200 responses so they are valid. As I said, they are caused by the improperly formed link in conjunction with the server dynamically creating those pages.
Thanks,

I have to abdmit that I am a newbie,
but I have one question,
if it is a server configuration problem,
why these links/folders are not seen by the google spider?

Hey Koure,
Thanks for reaching out. You're not going to see a bug in the crawler that creates pages like this. What you're seeing is a problem with how your server is configured in conjunction with the code on your page. As you can see in this curl:
There are a huge number of pages where you link to "/falli/" and it just keeps creating those pages. It seems eventually your server puts a limit on the URL length but before that 404 they are all 200.
Unfortunately I can't really offer any great advice on fixing these in particular as I don't do web support. You can likely pass this along to your web admin and they can source a resolution. Also maybe another user here can help point you in the right direction.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
The fact is that I don´t have the http://www.yoxo.it/catalog/seo_sitemap/category/ folder nor the http://www.yoxo.it/catalog/seo_sitemap folder.
When the seomoz engineers think about to fix it?

Looks like some kind of a glitch in the crawler.

Will shortening down the amount of text on my pages affect it's SEO performance?
My website has several pages with a lot of text that becomes pretty boring. I'm looking at shortening down the amount of copy on each page but then within the updated, shortened copy, integrating more target keywords naturally. Will shortening down the current copy have a negative effect on my SEO performance?

Content hidden behind a 'read all/more..' etc etc button
Hi Anyone know latest thinking re 'hidden content' such as body copy behind a 'read more' type button/link in light of John Muellers comments toward end of last year (that they discount hidden copy etc) & follow up posts on Search Engine Round Table & Moz etc etc ? Lots of people were testing it and finding such content was still being crawled & indexed so presumed not a big deal after all but if Google said they discount it surely we now want to reveal/unhide such body copy if it contains text important to the pages seo efforts. Do you think it could be the case that G is still crawling & indexing such content BUT any contribution that copy may have had to the pages seo efforts is now lost if hidden. So to get its contribution to SEO back one needs to reveal it, have fully displayed ? OR no need to worry and can keep such copy behind a 'read more' button/link ? All Best Dan

Pages I don't want
Hello Friends, A few days ago, I set up my wordpress site and everything is great so far, there's just one small problem. Wenn I search for site:mysite.com I see a lot of pages in the index I don't want to have on my site. It looks like demo pages from the theme I bought. Examples: http://mysite.com/themefusion_es_groups/group1/ http://mysite.com/slide/youtube/ http://mysite.com/lorem-ipsum-2/ http://mysite.com/slide/demo-5 What would be the best way to handle it? Simply delete the pages, then a soft 404 shows. Delete the pages and 301 them to the start page. Are they disapearing from the infex then? I am very grateful for tips regarding this! Thanks in Advance:)

Why would changing 404 pages increase traffic by 9%?
Neil Patel claimed in this article that by creating a custom 404 page that links out to 25 to 50 random internal pages on the website, he was able to increase the traffic of Techcrunch by 9%. I'm a bit skeptical about this claim. A couple of questions: Is this theory sound? If you've personally tried this or have read other articles supporting Neil, I'd love to learn more. Would a big site like Techcrunch really have problems with Google not indexing all of its pages? Also, does getting more pages crawled help you get more traffic? Specifically, would it help a site like mine? For reference, my site gets an average of 12,040 pages crawled per day in last 90 days. Currently 28,922 pages have been indexed. Are there any possible downsides to trying this? Thanks!

SERP listing of a websites' 'categories'
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has thoughts on what I can do to encourage SERP listings that include website categories, eg http://www.google.com.au/search?q=seomoz&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a . I'm assuming search engines only display type of listings when the search query closely matches the domain name? Thank heaps!

Anchor text, same page, different kewords to same URLs
Could someone please tell how Google treats the use of anchor text from a single page when using different keywords that all point to the same URL. So for instance I am doing a blog post and use the following anchor text which all point to the same URL: Cool Widget >> www.domain.com/widget Awesome Widget >> www.domain.com/widget Mighty Widget >> www.domain.com/widget I have read that Google will only take noticeof the first one? Thanks
