    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 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

          Moshe

            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
            Moshe

              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:

              https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/3ShUdX7_GqQ

                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?

                  Difference between urls and referring urls?

                  Sorry, nit new to this side of SEO We recently discovered we have over 200 critical crawler issues on our site (mainly 4xx) We exported the CSV and it shows both a URL link and a referring URL. Both lead to a 'page not found' so I have two questions? What is the difference between a URL and a referring URL? What is the best practice/how do we fix this issue? Is it one for our web developer? Appreciate the help.

                  URL Length Issue

                  MOZ is telling me the URLs are too long. I did a little research and I found out that the length of the URLs is not really a serious problem. In fact, others recommend ignoring the situation. Even on their blog I found this explanation: "Shorter URLs are generally preferable. You do not need to take this to the extreme, and if your URL is already less than 50-60 characters, do not worry about it at all. But if you have URLs pushing 100+ characters, there's probably an opportunity to rewrite them and gain value. This is not a direct problem with Google or Bing - the search engines can process long URLs without much trouble. The issue, instead, lies with usability and user experience. Shorter URLs are easier to parse, copy and paste, share on social media, and embed, and while these may all add up to a fractional improvement in sharing or amplification, every tweet, like, share, pin, email, and link matters (either directly or, often, indirectly)." And yet, I have these questions: In this case, why do I get this error telling me that the urls are too long, and what are the best practices to get this out? Thank You

                  404 even after Successful 301 Redirection

                  Hi, I've got quite few 404 error links on my site and I manually redirected all of them one by one with 301. They are redirecting successfully. But when I check my MOZ analysis, it still shows me as 404 error. I've done this about 4 days ago and MOZ crawled to my site couple times after that if it's not everyday. Do you know what the issue could be? And how can I fix it? PS: I've used Wordpress Redirection tool for it first and redirection did not work. Then I had to install the Simple 301 Redirects plugin to get it done.

                  Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL

                  Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.
                  If anyone could confirm if i can post "slightly adult" sites. Best Regards
                  Jon

                  Is there a tool to upload multiple URLs and gather statistics and page rank?

                  I was wondering if there is a tool out there where you can compile a list of URL resources, upload them in a CSV and run a report to gather and index each individual page. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this or do we need to create one?

                  Does anyone know what the %5C at the end of a URL is?

                  I've just had a look at the crawl diagnostics and my site comes up with duplicate page content and duplicate titles. I noticed that the url all has %5C at the end which I've never seen before. Does anybody know what that means?
