Page Not Found Help!

Hi,
I recently (about 2 months ago) moved a blog from a separate domain name over to my eCommerce site to help with marketing. http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog.
I seem to have gotten it all to work right, but I'm getting tons of 404 errors and they all have " in them for example: http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/”http://www.moondoggieinc.com/custom_dog_tanks_and_tees.php”
I'm not sure how this happened of how to fix it, but there are about 250 pages like this.
I know how to redirect them all with a 301 in htaccess, but Im not sure if that's the appropriate course to fix this or if that's just putting a patch on something that's causing a more major issue. Or do i just need to write 250 301 redirects?
Thanks!

Go to http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/index.php/moondoggies-new-dog-boutique/
Ctrl+F > Check out the Argyle Sweater Vest from Moondoggie.
^ that link points to: http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/index.php/moondoggies-new-dog-boutique/”http://www.moondoggieinc.com/argyle_sweater_vest.php”
Best way to find broken links it to run a spider and find 4xx and 5xx header responses. I recommend Screaming Frog SEO Spider tool.
If you don't mind waiting a long time, you can use W3C Link checker tool - here is a report for your page: http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moondoggieinc.com%2Fblog%2Findex.php%2Fmoondoggies-new-dog-boutique%2F&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check

Hi!, Thank you!
I can't seem to find the links in the posts that are not working correctly. I do see that the tumblr widget link is not correct. I think i might need to reinstall that widget as it's code seems to have gottten messed up in the move.
In GWT i see where the bad links are linked from, but then when I go to that page I can't find the bad link?
How to I find them to fix them?
Thanks!!!!!!!

Looks like you are linking to 404 pages, just need to fix the links, remove the errors from GWT and you should be golden.

Is my page being indexed?
To put you all in context, here is the situation, I have pages that are only accessible via an intern search tool that shows the best results for the request. Let's say i want to see the result on page 2, the page 2 will have a request in the url like this: ?p=2&s=12&lang=1&seed=3688 The situation is that we've disallowed every URL's that contains a "?" in the robots.txt file which means that Google doesn't crawl the page 2,3,4 and so on. If a page is only accessible via page 2, do you think Google will be able to access it? The url of the page is included in the sitemap. Thank you in advance for the help!

Should I change my targeted page?
Currently I have a site where the targeted keywords were on the home page, with links built to the homepage. It has been widely recognised though that Google is looking more and more for specific content on webpages that holds greater relevance to search queries. As such, I switched this targeted page to other created webpages - changing metatags and creating more relevant content for respective keywords. I thought this would improve rankings, however, upon doing this there was a sharp fall in rankings for keywords. Is there anything that I could have done wrong, or can do better so that keywords move back up the rankings?

How to implement a temporary splash page?
Hello - Our company will soon be launching a major product enhancement and we have discussed using a splash page when a visitor hits our homepage to promote the launch. I'm thinking something similar to what Apple did on Apple.com to announce addition of The Beatles catalog ot iTunes. I've never actually implemented anything like this before and wanted to get feedback from the community on how best to handle this from an SEO perspective. Thanks, Jason
