4xx errors
-
Hi
I checked in my campaign to look for errors on my page and i have got a report showing me a lot of 404 broken or dead links error. So how can i view the source of the broken link in order to fix it.
Thank you!

I don't see any "drop down" on the SEOmoz listed broken links... I also would like to know where to find the source of the broken link! Why don't show the source right inside the error report?

Google Webmaster Tools -- create an account there if you don't already have one -- is also a useful way to find 404 errors and track down their sources. Once your account is setup, go to Diagnostics > Crawl Errors > HTTP (this is the deault tab for the "Crawl Errors" screen).

You want to see where the links to the broken page are coming from?
3 options:
-
Xenu - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html - run that on your site and it will tell you. It's not the prettiest solution though.
-
Webmaster tools - Diagnostics > Crawl Errors - click on the page that is a 404 and it will tell you where the links are coming from.
-
SEOmoz - Set up a campaign in the pro section and in the crawl it will give you 4xx errors. Click on that then on each broken link drop down there an 'Explore links' option. That will open up OpenSiteExplorer for that link and show you where you're getting links from

What is the difference between "document" and "object" moved redirect errors?
What is the difference between "document" and "object" moved redirect errors? I'm used to see "object moved" as a redirect chain issue that needs to be fixed, but this week my report contained a "document moved" redirect chain issue. And it's on our homepage. Looks like it might be a HTTP versus an HTTPS issue.

New website server code errors
I launched a new website at www.cheaptubes.com and have recovered my search engine rankings as well after penguin & panda devestation. I'm continuing to improve the site but moz analytics is saying I have 288 medium issues and i see the warning "45% of site pages served 302 redirects during the last crawl". I'm not sure how to fix this. I'm on WP using Yoast SEO so all the 301's I did are 301's not 302's. I do have SSL, could it be Http vs Https?

Can 500 errors hurt rankings for an entire site or just the pages with the errors?
I'm working with a site that had over 700 500 errors after a redesign in april. Most of them were fixed in June, but there are still about 200. Can 500 errors affect rankings sitewide, or just the pages with the errors? Thanks for reading!

Moz is showing different "errors" than Webmaster tools
I have set up my Moz campaign and the crawl errors are showing multiple duplicate content and page titles however when I check my webmaster tools data, these errors are not showing up. Is this normal and who should I listen to?

Unexplained Crawl Diagnostic Errors & Opencart
Hi, I've been looking at the crawl diagnostics for my site and trying to fix the errors that are showing up but Seomoz is producing some strange results. It's saying pages are duplicated upto 16 times but those pages dont exist. It's adding "page=3", "page=4" to the end of the product URL but I don't see how it's finding those pages, nothing on the site(as far as I can tell) is linking to them. There is no "page=3", just the one product page. Again on the duplicate content it's saying under the "other URLs" there's URLs like "http:///product-a" but again I don't see where it's finding these URLs and obviously those URL's dont work. Those three slashes aren't a typo either. So far I've reduced the amount of errors from 2,005 to 543 but the rest of them I can't make sense of. Also, what does one do when you have two products, eg: "product-a-white" and "product-a-black" to prevent Seomoz from seeing duplicates? Canonical links wont work because there's no parent item, just those two. Google Webmaster tools doesn't seem to have a problem though. Using Opencart 1.5, if it helps. Cheers,

Strange 404 Error URL
Can anyone help determine how a URL like "www.mycompany.com/lago_www.bad-nsfw-content.com" would appear on the "not found" crawl error list in Google Webmaster Tools? The "www.bad-nsfw-content" site has nothing to do with our company and I don't how it would get associated with our site.
