Really odd 404 URL's
-
Hi
I'm getting some really odd 202 errors, I can't think that someone would link to me like this " http://sussexchef.com/contact-us/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ "
There are 95 of them to deal with, I've checked my site and I can click though all the links on my site with out coming across 1 404.
Any ideas?
All the best
Ben

is there a header.php? I don't know, maybe better to let the pros handle it lol
-
Hi yes it is wordpress.
Do you mean Wp-admin>css>? there are lots of files in there! all .css
-
Is this WordPress or some other platform? Do you have access to your CSS and HTML files? The template of the site? The ahref is just not done correctly for the contact us page.
-
I would start by looking in header.php, but they will know.
-
I've opened a ticket with them, fingers crossed, any idea which file?
-
I wouldn't do that. If this is Wordpress, you could probably rummage around in the editor and fix the problem (if you are very comfortable with that sort of thing) but the best thing would be to do as you mentioned, contact the theme support and tell them the problem. I am sure it is an easy fix.
-
Thanks for the compliment!
So I just 301 all 101 links?
sounds fun huh!
-
I haven't looked at everything, but I suspect that the only thing you need to fix is that link, the email link in the header. For some reason the URL there is being treated as being relative to the page that it is on. Talk to whomever set it up and they can probably fix it fairly quickly. And I'd probably make that a mailto: link anyway, but that's a different issue... [Looking at your site is making me very hungry, and I've just had breakfast!]
-
Wow
Ok so the header is coursing the bad links, how do I go about fixing that? do I contact the support that make the theme?
-
The http comes in twice, because it seems that an absolute path is being input where a relative path is expected.
In other words, the html of your link to E-mail : Info@SussexChef.com says: <a href="http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/"> this is on the page (I just picked one as an example): http://sussexchef.com/menus/christmas-buffet-delivery. The link becomes http://sussexchef.com/menus/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ because apparently in that header a path relative to http://sussexchef.com/menus/ was expected.

Hi I see it in screaming frog too, should I just redirect the urls rather than trying to find them and correct them?
-
Actually, I looked with Screaming Frog, and I can see where the error is. (One part, anyway.) Look in your header. The linking for the phone number and email there is odd.
-
Thanks
Yes they are all coming from my site. However I look at the referring url and view source But I cant find any url's with Http:// in them twice, I looked in the htaccess file on the server and they are not their either.
Really od, where do you think they are coming from?

Judging by the screenshot, these are 4xx errors from your Moz crawl, yes? If you look on that spreadsheet in column AM, "Referrer" it will show you the referrer of those URLs. Look at those pages to see where the errors came from.
My guess is that these are being generated by your own website. This type of thing can happen if there is some confusion with absolute and relative URLs and the wrong form is being input somewhere.
-
Hi I see them in the latest moz crawl and they are 404's yes
I just migrated my site so I was expecting 404's but not with the http: in them twice!
Thanks for your quick responce
-
Because 202 is nor an error, it's an 'accepted' code. Also, where are you seeing these?
-
Hi Ben are they 202 or 404?

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer -> Just Discovered -> Internal Links: Only shown 1 url link per day
Hi, We have a page that have like 10-15 new content/pages per day.
Link Explorer | | Inspiringinterns
eg. domain.com/post-id-01/, omain.com/post-id-02/, omain.com/post-id-03/ etc
But somehow, under Just-Discovered, internal links only show 1 per day when it suppose to display like 10-15.
The layout for each pages is exact same except for the content changes and the url's ID changes. Our competitor on the other hand, they have like 5 new page per day, but somehow Moz shows their internal links as 25 per days. Each of their new url have 4 more prefix number.
Eg:
new-page-01?track=990
new-page-01?track=991
new-page-01?track=992 etc
The above example url is technically as 1 page if without the "?" affix. Whiles all our new pages/url have unique id, but Moz only show 1 a day. Please advise on how to get Moz to shows all the new pages in Just-Discovered (internal link). Thanks, Cam0 -
Top Pages Report References URLs from a Different Domain
I am running a Top Pages Report using Open Site Explorer and it's returning that the top pages for examplesiteA.org are examplesiteB.com. Important to note that examplesiteA.org was a dormant domain for a few years. We recently purchased it and are in the process of reviving it. Has anyone experienced this before? Would this suggest that canonical link elements were put in place prior to it going dormant and that the top pages for this site are now assumed to be on examplesiteB.com?
