54 new 404 errors on my website?
-
Hi There
In the latest report I have 54 404-errors. All last week, previously I had 2 404s that I fixed. In report say:
Title404 : ErrorMeta DescriptionTraceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux- x86_64/egg/downpour/init.py", line 391, in _error failure.raiseException() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site- packages/twisted/python/failure.py", line 370, in raiseException raise self.type, self.value, self.tb Error: 404 Not FoundMeta RobotsNot present/emptyMeta RefreshNot present/empty
Are these normal 404 errors I have to look at and fix?
Or is this some script that running on my server and causing errors?
In general - what should I do to fix this?
Thanks
Dean

Hi Dean,
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion. I logged into your account and checked several of the URLs that are returning a 404 error and they are legitimately pages that are returning a 404 if you go to those URLs. I looked into the referring pages, and it seems that these URLs are being created by the RSS feed on your pages. Since the RSS creates dynamic URLs, those URLs would not consistently exist on the site.
This won't necessarily hurt your SEO, but our crawler will still report any 404s it finds on your site.

I would wait for an SEOmoz team member to respond to be sure, but it sounds like the mozbot was having trouble crawling your site.

Website blocked by Robots.txt in OSE
When viewing my client's website in OSE under the Top Pages tab, it shows that ALL pages are blocked by Robots.txt. This is extremely concerning because Google Webmaster Tools is showing me that all pages are indexed and OK. No crawl errors, no messages, no nothing. I did a "site:website.com" in Google and all of the pages of the website returned. Any thoughts? Where is OSE picking up this signal? I cannot find a blocked robots tag in the code or anything.

Does linking to relevant high authority websites effect your MozTrust or Rank?
Basically what the title says. I am having a hard time understanding why a compeitor with less linking domains and none of any real quality, they're all membership sites or partnerships, nothing to relevant to the industry. While we have links and articles on us from multiple magazines in our industry. As well as to relevant directories with high domain ranks. The only thing I noticed is they're linking to their clients website, which are all high authority websites. So do external links count towards your MozTrust or Rank?

Is there such thing as a site free from errors?
Or is this a given? I am new to SEO and SEOmoz. One of my campaigns is completley free of errors...the others are a work in progress. Now I realize that SEO is never done, but can a site actually be free of errors? If so... I just gave myself a pat on the back.
