4xx Client Error
-
I have 2 pages showing as errors in my Crawl Diagnostics, but I have no idea where these pages have come from, they don't exist on my site.
I have done a site wide search for them and they don't appear to be referenced are linked to from anywhere on my site, so where is SEomoz pulling this info from?
the two links are:
http://www.adgenerator.co.uk/acessibility.asp
http://www.adgenerator.co.uk/reseller-application.asp
The first link has a spelling mistake and the second link should have an "S" on the end of "application"

Is your site verified in Google? Try logging into Google Webmaster Tools and looking at the 404 report there. It often will list the incoming link for a 404 error.
-
then the only other time I've seen this happen was from inbound links that Google found on other sites. You can try searching Google itself, however you may or may not be able to discover where they exist.
-
Nope, just checked the sitemap and not reference to them on there either.

Thanks I will check the site map, I have done a find all search and canot find any reference to those URL's anywhere in my site.
Where does SEOmoz pull this info from?
-
Google picks up links several ways. If you are 100% sure these links are not in your own site somewhere (even on a single page, either intentionally or accidentally), check your sitemap.xml file, but be aware that they also pick up links that come from 3rd party web sites.
If you can't find the source, consider setting up a 301 redirect to resolve both of them, or alternately don't worry about them if you only have 2 listed and your site is otherwise doing well.

Broken canonical link errors
Hello, Several tools I'm using are returning errors due to "broken canonical links". However, I'm not too sure why is that. Eg.

Returns an error. Any idea why? Am I doing it wrong? Thanks,

Assistance with High Priority Duplicate Page Content Errors
Hi I am trying to fix the high priority duplicate content URL's from my recent MOZ crawl (6 URL's) in total. Would someone from the community be able to offer some web development advice? I had reached out on the Moz Community on the main welcome page. Samantha stated that someone in web development on Moz's Q&A forum would be better suited to assist me. I took a word press class on Lynda.com, but other than that, I am a novice. I manage my site www.rejuvalon.com on Go Daddy's managed wordpress site. Thanks so much for your help! Best, Jill

Importance of correction of technical errors
Hello everyone!!! I have question that i know it has been asked so many times. However i am looking for an idea for my specific situation. I own a website about commercial steel. My main focus has been getting incoming links from important companies and sites, while maintaining a good quality site. Ive been struggling with ranks and Page Authority. Ive never put attention to technical errors such as Duplicate Content, 4XX Errors and critical warnings such as Redirects. I have around 70 errors and around 400 warnings. Someone told me that as long as the website is "user friendly" i should worry about that. I have scarce resources to my SEO efforts. Which aspect should i put more effort?. Link Building and Quality Content vs Technical SEO ??? Is there a recommended balance mix towards a better PA, DA and Overall Quality?? I know is difficult, but it would be extremely helpful to hear from you!! Regards.

302 error removing site from results
I have a client who had a screwy url structure based off of parameters and all. They hired a developer that added the keyword to the end of the url and set up 302 redirects to the new keyword included url. Since then the entire site has virtually gone missing in the results but it is not penalized. I put in a request with webmaster tools for reconsideration and they said there was no penalty. I only just found the 302 problem today and think this is probably the problem. Could this remove a site from the search results?
