      Hello

      I am getting loads of 404 reported in my Crawl report, all appended with void(0) at the end.  For example:

      http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)
      The site is running on Drupal 7,

      Has anyone come across this before?

      Kind Regards

      Moshe

        I think void(0) problem from WordPress theme if you use WordPress. Or, You can't setup perfectly javascript void(0) code on your template file.

        See the perfect javascript void(0) link examples on this page of wikihat => Kickass Torrents

        See the "click to open" button there.

            Hi Kane

            Many thanks for the links.  The Google forum link seems like to be the direction.  I am not the developer of the site, but will forward the link to them hoping they will help.  (been 3 years since site went live).

            Many thanks

            Moshe

              Hi Dimitri

              I am pretty sure that it is only the fact that something is producing links with void(0) at the end.  The link I used in my original post should actually be:

              http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/tongues

              The MOZ crawl report is saying that the above page is the Referrer to the

              http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)

              This repeats itself in many pages on the site.

              Many thanks
              Moshe

                Hi Moshen,

                My guess is that somewhere on the site, someone created a pop up window or another load effect and they used void(0) to create a link. The better practice is to create a normal link and control what happens when it's clicked by using Javascript. You could also add rel="nofollow" to those links, but it's less ideal than the first option.

                These explain the issue as well for additional reference:

                  Hi there.

                  It seems to be that there is something wrong with javascript. Because it seems like piece of JS code. However, even if i remove void part, the page still doesn't exist. You sure it's just "void(0)" problem?

                    Difference between urls and referring urls?

                    Sorry, nit new to this side of SEO We recently discovered we have over 200 critical crawler issues on our site (mainly 4xx) We exported the CSV and it shows both a URL link and a referring URL. Both lead to a 'page not found' so I have two questions? What is the difference between a URL and a referring URL? What is the best practice/how do we fix this issue? Is it one for our web developer? Appreciate the help.

                    Block Moz (or any other robot) from crawling pages with specific URLs

                    Hello! Moz reports that my site has around 380 duplicate page content. Most of them come from dynamic generated URLs that have some specific parameters. I have sorted this out for Google in webmaster tools (the new Google Search Console) by blocking the pages with these parameters. However, Moz is still reporting the same amount of duplicate content pages and, to stop it, I know I must use robots.txt. The trick is that, I don't want to block every page, but just the pages with specific parameters. I want to do this because among these 380 pages there are some other pages with no parameters (or different parameters) that I need to take care of. Basically, I need to clean this list to be able to use the feature properly in the future. I have read through Moz forums and found a few topics related to this, but there is no clear answer on how to block only pages with specific URLs. Therefore, I have done my research and come up with these lines for robots.txt: User-agent: dotbot
                    Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 User-agent: rogerbot
                    Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 My questions: 1. Are the above lines correct and would block Moz (dotbot and rogerbot) from crawling only pages that have numberOfStars=0 parameter in their URLs, leaving other pages intact? 2. Do I need to have an empty line between the two groups? (I mean between "Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0" and "User-agent: rogerbot")? (or does it even matter?) I think this would help many people as there is no clear answer on how to block crawling only pages with specific URLs. Moreover, this should be valid for any robot out there. Thank you for your help!

                    How to Fix 404 Errors

                    Hey Moz'ers - I just added a new site to my Moz Pro account and when I got the crawl report back there was a ton of 404 errors (see attached). I realize the best way to fix these is to manually go through every single error and see what the issue is... I just don't have time right now, and I don't have a team member that can jump on this either, but realize this will be a huge boost to this client if/when I get these resolved... So my question is: Is there a quicker way to get these resolved? Is there an outsourcing company that can fix my clients errors correctly? Thanks for the help in advance:) wBhzEeV

                    Crawlers crawl weird long urls

                    I did a crawl start for the first time and i get many errors, but the weird fact is that the crawler tracks duplicate long, not existing urls. For example (to be clear): there is a page: www.website.com/dogs/dog.html but then it is continuing crawling:
                    www.website.com/dogs/dog.html
                    www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dog.html
                    www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
                    www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
                    www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html what can I do about this? Screaming Frog gave me the same issue, so I know it's something with my website

                    How to resolve Duplicate Content crawl errors for Magento Login Page

                    I am using the Magento shopping cart, and 99% of my duplicate content errors come from the login page.  The URL looks like: http://www.site.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbW1zcGVjaW9zYS5jb20vcmV2aWV3L3Byb2R1Y3QvbGlzdC9pZC8xOTYvY2F0ZWdvcnkvNC8jcmV2aWV3LWZvcm0%2C/ Or, the same url but with the long string different from the one above.  This link is available at the top of every page in my site, but I have made sure to add "rel=nofollow" as an attribute to the link in every case (it is done easily by modifying the header links template). Is there something else I should be doing?  Do I need to try to add canonical to the login page?  If so, does anyone know how to do it using XML?

                    Duplicate page titles are the same URL listed twice

                    The system says I have two duplicate page titles. The page titles are exactly the same because the two URLs are exactly the same. These same two identical URLs show up in the Duplicate Page Content also - because they are the same. We also have a blog and there are two tag pags showing identical content - I have blocked the blog in robots.txt now, because the blog is only for writers. I suppose I could have just blocked the tags pages.

                    I've just had a look at the crawl diagnostics and my site comes up with duplicate page content and duplicate titles. I noticed that the url all has %5C at the end which I've never seen before. Does anybody know what that means?
