      Hi!

      In Google Webmaster Tools I find *.../feed/ as a 404 page in crawl errors. The problem is that none of these pages exist and they have no inbound links (except the start page).

      FYI, it´s a wordpress site.

      Example:

      • www.mysite.com/subpage1/feed/
      • www.mysite.com/subpage2/feed/
      • www.mysite.com/subpage3/feed/
      • etc

      Does Google search for /feed/ by default or why do I keep getting these 404´s every day?

        Hi Tommy

        You can do as Aran suggests - a redirect would be fine for feeds you don't want being crawled.

        But more importantly, you may want to consider not indexing subpages (like this one: http://www.mediaanalys.se/blogg/page/2/) - you can make this setting in Yoast.

        Let us know!

              I´ve checked the sitemap, you find it at ....se/sitemap_index.xml

              It´s Yoast plugin BTW.

                I see your point... cant find reference to /feed/ however i also cannot find your sitemap.xml to confirm their are no references in there are their an external links pointing to kontakt/feed?

                I'd consider adding a 301 rule into the htaccess to redirect traffic from the offending 404 pages, just in case.

                  Sure, notice that it´s in swedish 😃

                  Example of one page that Google report 404 on is our contact page with /feed/ at the end,

                  http://www.mediaanalys.se/kontakt/   +   feed/

                      Hi Aran, thanks for your time!

                      Meta and sitemaps are clear. I also checked the source code for the specific pages that Google have in their reports, but no link.

                      I´ve also googled about the automatic feed functions in WP but no problem there either.

                        By default I think most wordpress blogs have a feed accessible via the urls you describe (http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/)

                        I'm pretty sure there specified somewhere link in sitemaps or even in meta.

                        Have you disabled your feeds?

                        Seeing your URL would help.

                          Wrong page title in Google

                          Hi there, A while ago we took over the domain www.hoesjes.nl and forwarded it to our website www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. If you perform a search for the keyword 'hoesjes' in Google then we (www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl) show up on an organic number 1 position. The problem is that the page title isn't correct. Google shows the page title of the website hoesjes.nl we took over and (correctly?) redirected to our domain www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this wrong page title in Google?
                          Here you can find a screenshot of what I mean. Thanks! Marcel

                          Hi All, We have recently discovered a site was linking to our site but it was linking to an incorrect url, resulting in a 404 error. We had only found this by pure chance and wondered if there was a tool out there that will tell us when a site is linking to an incorrect url on our site? Thanks 🙂

                          Does Google index internal anchors as separate pages?

                          Hi, Back in September, I added a function that sets an anchor on each subheading (h[2-6]) and creates a Table of content that links to each of those anchors. These anchors did show up in the SERPs as JumpTo Links. Fine. Back then I also changed the canonicals to a slightly different structur and meanwhile there was some massive increase in the number of indexed pages - WAY over the top - which has since been fixed by removing (410) a complete section of the site. However ... there are still ~34.000 pages indexed to what really are more like 4.000 plus (all properly canonicalised). Naturally I am wondering, what google thinks it is indexing. The number is just way of and quite inexplainable. So I was wondering: Does Google save JumpTo links as unique pages? Also, does anybody know any method of actually getting all the pages in the google index? (Not actually existing sites via Screaming Frog etc, but actual pages in the index - all methods I found sadly do not work.) Finally: Does somebody have any other explanation for the incongruency in indexed vs. actual pages? Thanks for your replies! Nico

                          Hello all, Is anybody experiencing blanck page's in Google's 'Cached' view? I'm seeing just the page background and none of the content for a couple of my pages but when I click 'View Text Only' all of teh content is there. Strange! I'd love to hear if anyone else is experiencing the same. Perhaps this is something to do with the roll out of Google's updates last week?! Thanks,

                          Google.ca is showing our US site instead of our Canada Site

                          When our Canadian users who search on google.ca for our brand (e.g. Travelocity, Travelocity hotels, etc.), the first few results our from our US site (travelocity.com) rather than our Canadian site (travelocity.ca). In Google Webmaster Tools, we've adjusted the geotargeting settings to focus on the appropriate locale, but the wrong country TLD is still coming up at the top via google.ca. What's the best way to ensure our Canadian site comes up instead of the US site on google.ca? Thanks, Tory Smith

                          Hi!! Another noob question: Should I be nofollowing my site's cart and checkout pages? Or as SEs can't get to the checkout pages without either logging in or completing the form is it something I shouldn't worry about? Have read things saying both. Not sure which is correct. Thank you! Appreciate the help. Lynn
