Error 404 Search Console
-
Hi all,
We have a number of 404 https status listed in Search Console even treated, not decrease. What happened:
- We launched a website with the urls www.meusite.com/url-abc.
- We launched these urls sitemap.
- Google has indexed.
... For some reason, the urls were changed four days later by some developer in my equipe. So
- I asked the redirection of URLs "old" already indexed to the new (of: / url-abc to / url-xyz) all correspondingly.
- I submit the sitemap with new urls.
- We fixed the internal links.
- And than marked as fixed in the Search Console.
But it does not work!
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the answer Bernadette Coleman.
Yes, it can be a Google issues. But the biggest problem is that the Google Adwords team, are trying to make ads with some urls , and some Urls are being blocked by Google Adwords.
Note: The URLs that are reproved are not on the console search sampling, do not have 404 http status or redirects. Are the final URLs with 200 https Status
- Google Support answer - Disapproved ads
It seems that the issue is with the URLs. When our system crawled, they resulted in 404 violations
Hence, I request you to check Google Webmaster tools to identify the issue. Also, I request you to speak with your development team to identify the issue.
Once the issue has been fixed, I kindly ask you to re-submit the ads in the account, which will cause our system to re-review them.About the 404 errors on console. I had already taken the 404 urls sampling console and tracked screaming frog:
246 urls Status 404
303 urls Status 200
459 urls status 30170% of URLs were corrected, were marked as corrected on console, but Google insists back them to the list.

This could be a Google issue. It takes some time for Google to "forget" about URLs they know about, so they may continue to crawl old URLs.
If you have redirected these URLs and they are not showing a 404 error, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I would still mark them as fixed in Google Search Console and then see if they come back again. I would also test those URLs randomly using the Googlebot user agent.
One thing you can do, however, is to crawl those URLs yourself using Screaming Frog or another similar spider tool. Make sure you have the user agent set as Googlebot just to make sure that you're seeing what Google might potentially see. When you crawl, you should see the redirects. If not, then you will need to look into why you're seeing a 404 error.

Submitting URLs After New Search Console
Hi Everyone I wanted to see how people submit their urls to Google and ensure they are all being indexed. I currently have an ecommerce site with 18,000 products. I have sitemaps setup, but noticed that the various product pages haven't started ranking yet. If I submit the individual url through the new Google Search Console I see the page ranking in a matter of minutes. Before the new Google Search Console you could just ask Google to Fetch/Render an XML sitemap and ask it to crawl all the links. I don't see the same functionality working today on Google Search Console and was wondering if there are any new techniques people could share. Thanks,

404 Error Complications
Hello Moz World! I am receiving a 404 error on one of my webpages. When I directly input the URL into my search bar I receive a 404 error. However, when I am on my website and link over to the broken webpage from my website I do not receive an error. The page will show up with no issues, and the address in the URL is the address that is receiving the 404 error. i.e. www.mywebsite.com/services Does anyone know how i should go about troubleshooting this issue? Any suggestions on how I can resolve this? To me, I would think that if the link is not broken when being directed from the website, it shouldn't be broken when entering the url directly into the search bar. Right? Any info/advice is appreciated. B/R Will

Search box within search results question
I work for a Theater news website. We have two sister sites, theatermania.com in the US and whatsonstage.com in London. Both sites have largely the same codebase and page layouts. We've implemented markup that allows google to show a search box for our site in its results page. For some reason, the search box is showing for one site but not the other: http://screencast.com/t/CSA62NT8 We're scratching our heads. Does anyone have any ideas?
