WEBMASTER console: increase in the number of URLs we were blocked from crawling due to authorization permission errors.
-
Hi guys,I received this warning in my webmaster console: "Google detected a significant increase in the number of URLs we were blocked from crawling due to authorization permission errors." So i went to "Crawl Errors" section and i found such errors under "Access denied" status:
?page_name=Cheap+Viagra+Gold+Online&id=471
?page_name=Cheapest+Viagra+Us+Licensed+Pharmacies&id=1603
and many happy URLs like these. Does anybody know what this is and where it comes from?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Tom!

Hi
to removed any chance of infection and I am not telling you that I am 100% sure it's infected
You must be certain that the regional infection was removed. If it was not and you had links created by a third party other than yourself you are better off getting it completely cleaned
use Sucuri.net to remove any chance of a hack.
Just type this into Google
- ?page_name=Cheap+Viagra+Gold+Online&id=471
- ?page_name=Cheapest+Viagra+Us+Licensed+Pharmacies&id=1603

&
Screaming frog SEO to create the site map
I hope that helps,

Hello Thomas,
I really appreciate your help! You said i can look at your site's structure. What is your site address?
Unfortunately, i still don't know what i need to do in order to remove those pharma hack from my site. If you know where to point me to get the answer, i'll be very grateful.
Also, what tool you used to generate this report http://crawl.blueprintmarketing.com/projects/reports/215533?ro=75ad0c6e4afacc428b553d449dfd281f82ec2ad6 ?
Also, what tool you used to create XML site map?
Thanks
-
No site map from checking multiple configurations of XML site maps and coming up with nothing no redirects either e.g. /sitemap_index.xml might exist separately or redirect to /sitemap.xml
http://www.davidandsonsjewelers.com/sitemap.xml shows a 404
Tool's
deepcrawl.com https://varvy.com/mobile/ & https://varvy.com/tools/
-
detect mobile issues
-
If I were you I would look at my site structure make sure that it was built in a certain manner for the right reasons.
If your traffic is all right you really do not want to change the site that much. If you do change the site change it slowly.
( A great example of this is how FireHost.com it is becoming Armor.com)
the tools I used to find out whether or not you had a site map primarily was deepcrawl.com
to detect mobile issues
https://varvy.com/mobile/ & https://varvy.com/tools/

I used screaming frog to create a XML site map for you here
I would definitely add an XML site map.
Sincerely,
Thomas
-
Also, do you say that the mobile site is blocked? Also, how do you see that the site doesn't have XML? What tool shows you all this info?
Thanks
-
Hi Thomas,
I really appreciate your help! Can you advise me what i should do? I see all these reports but i don't know how i need to clean the site.
Thank you!

As you are showing certain URLs that are definitely Pharma hack their are certain things Sucuri is unable to detect because of it being a front-end tool not the PHP tool that would be needed for the two-part WordPress and PHP version of your site.
Just type this into Google
- ?page_name=Cheap+Viagra+Gold+Online&id=471
- ?page_name=Cheapest+Viagra+Us+Licensed+Pharmacies&id=1603

some of you are links are really not supposed to be there
Here is your report please use the URL below to navigate the entire report.
All of you are URLs are relative to the most part that should be fixed. You have a Java redirect that definitely needs to be fixed.

You have roughly 108 indexed URLs according to Google
https://marketing.grader.com/report/www.davidandsonsjewelers.com/overall
you do not have an XML site map unfortunately I found that out in the first five minutes but you can also find out if these things using
https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
upon a quick check with another tool I found
http://i.imgur.com/Y60WnIc.png
I love deepcrawl however your site is not large you can learn a lot about it with
http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ free
I hope this is a help, with analytics access and webmaster tool like this I cannot obviously give you a much better picture.
Tom
-
I will run the audit now sorry for the delay
-
-
The best way to solve this problem is to use
Or http://screamingfrog.co.uk Seo spider
If you give me the URL I will do it quick check for you.
-
Thank you Thomas,
My site is clean though according to sucuri. I spoke to owner of this website and they said that they were hacked in the past and they blocked those pages themselves. So now google detects those pages again? Or what exactly is happening? Anybody knows?
Thanks
-
Remember that not every URL is in Googles index. It does not mean that your back link is not in
https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/
You should very quickly make sure that your website is not still completely full of malware like it sounds it is
use this tool to determined what has happened to your site if it is infected it is free.
If it is hacked as I believe it may be dependent on what you have described I would then purchase the malware removal and web application firewall
https://sucuri.net/website-antivirus/
if you would like a much more secure hosting environment https://armor.com is the best.
Once you have removed your site from the blacklists and removed all the bad where/malware make sure to crawl it with Google in Webmaster tools using fetch as a Google bot
your nightmare should be short-lived sorry to hear that your site was hacked hopefully this will get you back on track quickly.

Hi Dirk,
In webmaster tools if i click one by one those links, i can see "Linked from" URLs. There are URLs like this:
http://schwagginwagon.com/?page_name=Buying+Tadalis+SX+Safely+No+Prescription+Tadalis+SX&id=1810
and also there is one URL is coming from my domain. Not sure what it means.
I went through every single URL in Google index but all of them are normal URLs. Nothing related to spam. Any ideas?
Thanks
-
Try to do a search of type viagra site:yourdomain.com - and see if there are any pages of suspicious nature that are listed.
In the crawl error section in webmaster tools you could also check where these url's are coming from (external/internal links)
If your site is hacked - you can find more info here http://www.google.com/webmasters/hacked/ on what to do next.
rgds,
Dirk

Hello Dirk,
Thank you for fast reply! I thought it too right away. So all of these URLs are forbidden when i try to access them. This is the message from google webmaster tools "Googlebot couldn't crawl your URL because your server either requires authentication to access the page, or it is blocking Googlebot from accessing your site."
Any ideas? Thanks
-
Hi
On first sight I would guess your site has been hacked - do these url's exist when you try them?
Dirk

Crawl at a stand still
Hello Moz'ers, More questions about my Shopify migration...it seems that I'm not getting indexed very quickly (it's been over a month since I completed the migration) - I have done the following: used an Seo app to find and complete redirects (right away) used the same app to straighten out title tags, metas and alt tags submitted the sitemap re-submitted my main product URL's via Fetch checked the Console - no reported blocks or crawl errors I will mention that I had to assign my blog to a sub-domain because Shopify's blog platform is awful. I had a lot of 404's on the blog, but fixed those. The blog was not a big source of traffic (I'm an ecomm business) Also, I didn't have a lot of backlinks, and most of those came along anyway. I did have a number of 8XX and 9XX errors, but I spoke to Shopify about them and they found no issues. In the meantime, those issues pretty much disappeared in the MOZ reporting. Any duplicate page issues now have a 200 code since I straightened out the title tags. So what am I missing here? Thanks in advance, Sharon

URL Format
Often we have web platforms that have a default URL structure that looks something like this www.widgetcompany.co.uk/widget-gallery/coloured-widgets/red-widgets This format is quite well structured but would it just be more effective to be www.widgetcompany.co.uk/red-widgets? I realise that it may depend on a lot of factors but generally is it better to have the shorter URL if targeting the key phrase "red widgets" One thing, it certainly looks a bit keyword stuffy with all those "widgets"

URL Structure
I'm going through the process of redesigning our website, and the URL structure was brought up. We currently have our URLs structured as domain.com/keyword. It seems that some people think setting your URLs up to look like: domain.com/directory/keyword makes more sense from a user's perspective, and from a search engine's perspective. With our directories labeled as services, solutions, clients - I see no value in adding directories as it dilutes the keyword and brings the keyword further away from the domain. Are there situations where adding a directory before the page in the URL makes sense? If anyone has data showing the difference between the two that'd be great! Thanks, Brian

Can increase in crawl errors in GWT) be caused by input fields and jquery?
Dear Mozzerz We took over www.urgiganten.dk not long ago and last week we opened up for indexation, after having taken the old website down for a couple of months. One week after opening for indexation we saw a huge increase in crawl errors.Google is discovering some weird links to e.g http://www.urgiganten.dk/30-garmin-urremme/ which returns a 404. In GWT we are told that we are linking to this url from http://www.urgiganten.dk/garmin-urremme. But nowhere on http://www.urgiganten.dk/garmin-urremme will you find this link. However you will find the following script in the source code, which is the only code part that contains "/30-garmin-urremme/":Can it be true that google take the id and adds it to our tld to form a url? We have seen quite a lot of these errors not only on Urgiganten.dk but also some of our other websites!

Bogus Crawl Errors in Webmaster Tools?
I am suddenly seeing a ton of crawl errors in webmaster tools. Almost all of them are URL links coming from scraper sites.that I do not own. Do you see these in your Webmaster Tools account? Do you mark them as "fixed" if they are on a scraper site? There are waaaay too many of these to make redirects. Thanks!

Issue with 'Crawl Errors' in Webmaster Tools
Have an issue with a large number of 'Not Found' webpages being listed in Webmaster Tools. In the 'Detected' column, the dates are recent (May 1st - 15th). However, looking clicking into the 'Linked From' column, all of the link sources are old, many from 2009-10. Furthermore, I have checked a large number of the source pages to double check that the links don't still exist, and they don't as I expected. Firstly, I am concerned that Google thinks there is a vast number of broken links on this site when in fact there is not. Secondly, why if the errors do not actually exist (and never actually have) do they remain listed in Webmaster Tools, which claims they were found again this month?! Thirdly, what's the best and quickest way of getting rid of these errors? Google advises that using the 'URL Removal Tool' will only remove the pages from the Google index, NOT from the crawl errors. The info is that if they keep getting 404 returns, it will automatically get removed. Well I don't know how many times they need to get that 404 in order to get rid of a URL and link that haven't existed for 18-24 months?!! Thanks.
