Really odd 404 URL's
-
Hi
I'm getting some really odd 202 errors, I can't think that someone would link to me like this " http://sussexchef.com/contact-us/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ "
There are 95 of them to deal with, I've checked my site and I can click though all the links on my site with out coming across 1 404.
Any ideas?
All the best
Ben

is there a header.php? I don't know, maybe better to let the pros handle it lol
-
Hi yes it is wordpress.
Do you mean Wp-admin>css>? there are lots of files in there! all .css
-
Is this WordPress or some other platform? Do you have access to your CSS and HTML files? The template of the site? The ahref is just not done correctly for the contact us page.
-
I would start by looking in header.php, but they will know.
-
I've opened a ticket with them, fingers crossed, any idea which file?
-
I wouldn't do that. If this is Wordpress, you could probably rummage around in the editor and fix the problem (if you are very comfortable with that sort of thing) but the best thing would be to do as you mentioned, contact the theme support and tell them the problem. I am sure it is an easy fix.
-
Thanks for the compliment!
So I just 301 all 101 links?
sounds fun huh!
-
I haven't looked at everything, but I suspect that the only thing you need to fix is that link, the email link in the header. For some reason the URL there is being treated as being relative to the page that it is on. Talk to whomever set it up and they can probably fix it fairly quickly. And I'd probably make that a mailto: link anyway, but that's a different issue... [Looking at your site is making me very hungry, and I've just had breakfast!]
-
Wow
Ok so the header is coursing the bad links, how do I go about fixing that? do I contact the support that make the theme?
-
The http comes in twice, because it seems that an absolute path is being input where a relative path is expected.
In other words, the html of your link to E-mail : Info@SussexChef.com says: <a href="http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/"> this is on the page (I just picked one as an example): http://sussexchef.com/menus/christmas-buffet-delivery. The link becomes http://sussexchef.com/menus/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ because apparently in that header a path relative to http://sussexchef.com/menus/ was expected.

Hi I see it in screaming frog too, should I just redirect the urls rather than trying to find them and correct them?
-
Actually, I looked with Screaming Frog, and I can see where the error is. (One part, anyway.) Look in your header. The linking for the phone number and email there is odd.
-
Thanks
Yes they are all coming from my site. However I look at the referring url and view source But I cant find any url's with Http:// in them twice, I looked in the htaccess file on the server and they are not their either.
Really od, where do you think they are coming from?

Judging by the screenshot, these are 4xx errors from your Moz crawl, yes? If you look on that spreadsheet in column AM, "Referrer" it will show you the referrer of those URLs. Look at those pages to see where the errors came from.
My guess is that these are being generated by your own website. This type of thing can happen if there is some confusion with absolute and relative URLs and the wrong form is being input somewhere.
-
Hi I see them in the latest moz crawl and they are 404's yes
I just migrated my site so I was expecting 404's but not with the http: in them twice!
Thanks for your quick responce
-
Because 202 is nor an error, it's an 'accepted' code. Also, where are you seeing these?
-
Hi Ben are they 202 or 404?

URL column of Link Explorer reports do not have the protocol (http or https)
I exported from Link Explorer. In the URL column, there is no protocol for each URL. Isn't the protocol part of what makes a url? I'm crawling each with http:// and https:// but it feels like this info could just be in the report. Am I missing a step?

Moz tool to estimate a website's organic traffic?
Moz has tons of great tools, so I was quite suprised there is nothing similar to Alexa's siteinfo tool, or SimilarWeb's site comparison tool. Am I missing something? Or does such a tool exists at Moz? Or is there a different way of estimating my competitor's traffic? It would be great if Moz would have something like that.

404 issues involving Yelp
There are about 43 404 issues showing up in Moz analytics on a site I've been asked to review, all of which include yelp in the URL (see below link to one example). I'm not quite sure why this is happening. This is a site that sells vodka..could it be because of the verification required to enter the site (you must be older than 21)? http://silodistillery.com/tag/windsor/www.yelp.com/biz/silo-distillery-windsor Thanks for any insights

Is there some way to tell the Moz crawler not to crawl URL's with particular dynamic tags such as "?redirect-to:http//" ?
We are encountering an issue where the crawler is finding a ton of pages from our wordpress login url that has this dynamic tag in it to kinds of different blog entries. It's madness. I can't figure out what is causing these URLs to generate to be crawled in the first place! Does this sound familiar to anyone out there, any constructive suggestions? Robots text or maybe meta robots tags that would resolve this crawl issue?

I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?
