404 Crawl Diagnostics with void(0) appended to URL
-
Hello
I am getting loads of 404 reported in my Crawl report, all appended with void(0) at the end. For example:
http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)
The site is running on Drupal 7,Has anyone come across this before?
Kind Regards
Moshe

I think void(0) problem from WordPress theme if you use WordPress. Or, You can't setup perfectly javascript void(0) code on your template file.
See the perfect javascript void(0) link examples on this page of wikihat => Kickass Torrents
See the "click to open" button there.

Hi Moshe! Did this ever work out for you?

Hi Kane
Many thanks for the links. The Google forum link seems like to be the direction. I am not the developer of the site, but will forward the link to them hoping they will help. (been 3 years since site went live).
Many thanks

Hi Dimitri
I am pretty sure that it is only the fact that something is producing links with void(0) at the end. The link I used in my original post should actually be:
http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/tongues
The MOZ crawl report is saying that the above page is the Referrer to the
http://lfs.org.uk/films-and-filmmakers/watch-our-films/1289/void(0)
This repeats itself in many pages on the site.
Many thanks

Hi Moshen,
My guess is that somewhere on the site, someone created a pop up window or another load effect and they used void(0) to create a link. The better practice is to create a normal link and control what happens when it's clicked by using Javascript. You could also add rel="nofollow" to those links, but it's less ideal than the first option.
These explain the issue as well for additional reference:

Hi there.
It seems to be that there is something wrong with javascript. Because it seems like piece of JS code. However, even if i remove void part, the page still doesn't exist. You sure it's just "void(0)" problem?

404 : Errors in crawl report - all pages are listed with index.html on a WordPress site
Hi Mozers, I have recently submitted a website using moz, which has pulled up a second version of every page on the WordPress site as a 404 error with index.html at the end of the URL. e.g Live page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/ Report page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/index.html The permalink structure is set as /%postname%/ For some reason the report has listed every page with index.html at the end of the page URL. I have tried a number of redirects in the .htaccess file but doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions will be strongly appreciated. Thanks

What is the best approach to handling 404 errors?
Hello All - I'm a new here and working on the SEO on my site www.shoottokyo.com. When I am finding 4xx (Client Errors) what is the best way to deal with them? I am finding an error like this for example: http://shoottokyo.com/2010/11/28/technology-and-karma/ This may have been caused when I updated my permalinks from shoottokyo.com/2011/09/postname to shoottokyo.com/postname. I was using the plug in Permalinks moved permanently to fix them. Sometimes I am able to find http://shoottokyo.com/a-very-long-week/www.newscafe.jp and I can tell that I simply have a bad link to News Cafe and I can go to the post and correct it but in the case of the first one I can't find out where the crawler even found the problem. I'm using Wordpress. Is it best to just use a plugin like 'Redirection' to move the rest that have errors where I cannot find the source of the issue? Thanks Dave

The crawl report shows a lot of 404 errors
They are inactive products, and I can't find any active links to these product pages. How can I tell where the crawler found the links?

URL paramters and duplicate content
Hello, I have a 2-fold question: Crawl Diagnostics is picking up a lot of Duplicate Page Title errors, and as far as I can tell, all of them are cause by URL parameters trailing the URL. We use a Magento store, and all filtering attributes, categories, product pages etc are tagged on as URL parameters. example: Main URL:
Moz Pro | | yacpro13
/accessories.html Duplicated Title Page URLs: /accessories.html?dir=asc&order=position
/accessories.html?mode=list
/accessories.html?mode=grid
...and many others How can I make the Crawl Diagnostics not identify these as errors? Now from an SEO point of view, all these URL parameters are been picked up by google, and are listed in WedMaster Tools -> URL parameters. All URL parameters are set to "let google decide". I remember having read that Google was smart enough here to make the right decision, and we shouldn't have to worry about it. Is this true, or is there a larger issue at hand here? Thankas!0 -
Crawl Diagnostics Summary
Sorry if I am not asking in the right place. On Crawl Diagnostics Summary it says this right..?? : "To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days.". so it's passed a day and it still doesn't show nothing. It says "Processing Crawl Data for 358 pages" How much should i wait??

Is there any way to view crawl errors historically?
One of the website's we monitor have been getting high duplicate page titles, as we work through the pages, we see changes and the number of duplicate page titles are decreasing. However, lately, it went up again and the duplicate page titles have increased. I wanted to ask if there's any way to view the new errors and the old errors separately or sorted in a way that can help me identify why we are getting new page crawl errors. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
