404 Error from site - is this normal?
-
I have been trying to clean up any 404 errors. We keep getting the following:
URL
/include/vdimgck.php referring domain http://www.856d.c@m/plus/feedback.php
rendered domain unclickable by adding the "@" since I do not know if it is safe.
I just turned off the trackbacks and pings in the blog since I saw it was producing duplicate content and from what I read it is not worth keeping those with Wordpress.
is vdimgck.php anything some here instantly recognizes ?
It tops all our 404 errors, seems like a lot of requests.
Thanks!

I went to the main site and it is a page set up with just the domain name, looks like there is no real website with links. Looks suspicious for sure. Thanks for helping! I will investigate this further.

Does the file/page exist on your website (/include/vdimgck.php)?
Does the referring URL contain a link to this location?
Looking at some of the search results for a search on that filename, it looks like it could be malicious or your site may have been hacked. Check the location on the server to see if it exists first.

Canonical error from Google
Moz couldn't explain this properly and I don't understand how to fix it. Google emailed this morning saying "Alternate page with proper canonical tag." Moz also kinda complains about the main URL and the main URL/index.html being duplicate. Of course they are. The main URL doesn't work without the index.html page. What am I missing? How can I fix this to eliminate this duplicate problem which to me isn't a problem?

Site address change: new site isn't showing up in Google, old site is gone.
We just transitioned mccacompanies.com to confluentstrategies.com. The problem is that when I search for the old name, the old website doesn't come up anymore to redirect people to the new site. On the local card, Google has even taken off the website altogether. (I'm currently still trying to gain access to manage the business listing) When I search for confluent strategies, the website doesn't come up at all. But if I use the site: operator, it is in the index. Basically, my client has effectively disappeared off the face of the Google. (In doing other name changes, this has never happened to me before) What can I do?

Thousands of 503 Errors
I was just checking Google Webmaster Tools for one of the first times (I know this should have been a regular habit). I noticed that on Feb 8th we had almost 80K errors of type 503. This is obviously very alarming because as far as I know our site was up and available that whole day. This makes me wonder if there is a firewall issue or something else that I'm not aware of. Any ideas for the best way to determine what's causing this? Thanks, Chris
