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.

Why Can't I Get Indexed?
I cannot seem to get my website indexed by Google! I submitted the sitemap using Google WMT about a month ago but only one page is being indexed. There are very few backlinks to the site, so I don't believe there are any penalties due to over-optimization that would prevent indexing. Also, my robots.txt file is properly configured and is not preventing any pages from being crawled. I've tried using the "Fetch as Google" settings in WMT with no luck. Any ideas?

Similar URLs
I'm making a site of LSAT explanations. The content is very meaningful for LSAT students. I'm less sure the urls and headings are meaningful for Google. I'll give you an example. Here are two URLs and heading for two separate pages: http://lsathacks.com/explanations/lsat-69/logical-reasoning-1/q-10/ - LSAT 69, Logical Reasoning I, Q 10 http://lsathacks.com/explanations/lsat-69/logical-reasoning-2/q10/ - LSAT 69, Logical Reasoning II, Q10 There are two logical reasoning sections on LSAT 69. For the first url is for question 10 from section 1, the second URL is for question 10 from the second LR section. I noticed that google.com only displays 23 urls when I search "site:http://lsathacks.com". A couple of days ago it displayed over 120 (i.e. the entire site). 1. Am I hurting myself with this structure, even if it makes sense for users? 2. What could I do to avoid it? I'll eventually have thousands of pages of explanations. They'll all be very similar in terms of how I would categorize them to a human, e.g. "LSAT 52, logic games question 12" I should note that the content of each page is very different. But url, title and h1 is similar. Edit: I could, for example, add a random keyword to differentiate titles and urls (but not H1). For example: http://lsathacks.com/explanations/lsat-69/logical-reasoning-2/q10-car-efficiency/ LSAT 69, Logical Reasoning I, Q 10, Car efficiency But the url is already fairly long as is. Would that be a good idea?

Category listing page coming above product pages
A new SEO client we have taken on seem to be hitting most of the points right on with their site and SEO. However one thing that is bugging me is that their category pages i.e. "Footwear" which title tag includes the brands they stock. Is almost always coming up above (if they are ever even found) the product individual pages. Anyone seen this sort of things happening? Very frustrating.

I'm ranking Position 7,8,11,12,13,14 &15 but would rather one page top three - are they competing?
For the search phrase "office design birmingham" in the uk. I have mutiple pages ranking in position 7,8,11,12,13,14 & 15! This is all very well but are they somehow competing? Am i better off doing something different to get one or two into the top 3 rather than 7 in the top 15?! Many thanks for your opinion and advice. James

How to trace back a link from a 404 error?
How do I find the link that is still refferring to a 404 error? Somewhere on my site there is a link pointing to an un-usable page and I cant find where that link is to fix the 404 error. I could just delete the page all together, but I would like to find the problematic link first.
