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.

Canonicalisation and Dynamic Pages
We have an e-commerce single page app hosted at https://www.whichledlight.com and part of this site is our search results page (http://www.whichledlight.com/t/gu10-led-bulbs?fitting_eq=GU10). To narrow down products on the results we make heavy use of query parameters. From an SEO perspective we are telling GoogleBot to not index pages that include these query parameters to prevent duplicate content issues and to not index pages where the combination of query parameters has resulted in no results being returned. The only exception to this is the page parameter. We are posting here to check our homework so to speak. Does the above sound sensible? Although we have told GoogleBot to not index these pages, Moz will still crawl them (to the best of my knowledge), so we will continue to see crawl errors within our Moz reports where in fact these issues don't exist. Is this true? Is there anyway to make Moz ignore pages with certain query parameters? Any other suggestions to improve the SEO of our results pages is most appreciated. Thanks

Pages extensions
Hi guys, We're in the process of moving one of our sites to a newer version of the CMS. The new version doesn't support page extensions (.aspx) but we'll keep them for all existing pages (about 8,000) to avoid redirects. The technical team is wondering about the new pages - does it make any difference if the new pages are without extensions, except for usability? Thanks!

What to do when you want the category page and landing page to be the same thing?
I'm working on structuring some of my content better and I have a dilemma. I'm using wordpress and I have a main category called "Therapy." Under therapy I want to have a few sub categories such as "physical therapy" "speech therapy" "occupational therapy" to separate the content. The url would end up being mysite/speech-therapy. However, those are also phrases I want to create a landing page for. So I'd like to have a page like mysite.com/speech-therapy that I could optimize and help people looking for those terms find some of the most helpful content on our site for those certain words. I know I can't have 2 urls that are the same, but I'm hoping someone can give me some feedback on the best way to about this. Thanks.

Too many on page links
Hello I have about 800 warnings with this. Example of one url with this problem is: http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price I was checking and I think all links are important. But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings. Any other idea?

Help with SEO
Hello, I am brand new to SEO and I'm learning on the go everyday. I am having issues with Google and getting any sort of ranking or analysis or even just traffic reports. I understand the site has never really been optimized so it might really not have any reports. So basically my real question is what helpful tricks or hints do you guys have that I can implement? Anything and everything helps. So far I have run the crawl diagnostics and I'm working on fixing the errors. Thanks fr your help.
