How to find 20 hidden 404s
-
Hello,
We have like twenty 404s left to find. How do you find these when:
1. They don't show up in Google Webmaster Tools
2. They don't have any other internal or external pages linking to them.
3. They don't show up in site:domain.com (We have 9000 pages and only 600 show up - I fixed those out of the 600).
4. They are probably causing high bounce rates.
5. They're not in the sitemap
Thanks!

You should be able to crawl the entire site without increasing the RAM, once you buy the paid version.
-
Right in the paid version wont stop! You can see in their website that the limit of urls will be remove once you buy the license. http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/licence/
It should catch everything, maybe you can contact their support just to make sure, they are very good on support over twitter.
-
Yes, but if it only check 397 in the free version is it going to stop there in the paid version as well. Just making sure.
Also, will it catch everything?
-
Yes I just run a craw for 500 000 urls
-
The free version checked 397 URLs. Will the purchased version check all 9000?
-
You can try crawl the site using screamingfrog, make sure you check the box “Check Links Outside Folder” in the spider menu.

How to Rank for "Interesting Finds" on Google Mobile?
Hi! Some of the sites I work with, when doing searches for their top terms, I am seeing some articles listed under "Interesting Finds". I have read some people thought it deals with AMP, others do not. Some thing it has to do with the structured data added to the page, some do not. Does anyone have a definitive answer on how to increase your chances of being listed here? Any example is attached. Any ideas? Uoi4Jyh

Best practice to redirect all 404s?
Hey is it best practice to redirect all 404 pages. For example if the 404 pages had 0 traffic and no links why would you need to redirect that page? Isn't it best practice just to leave as a 404? Cheers.

How bad are 403 errors compared to 404s in regards to technical SEO?
Google Webmaster Tools reports "Access Denied" 403 errors. They also provide an explanation of what they mean at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409441?ctx=MCE&ctx=AD&hl=en. What are the implications of these Access Denied errors? Should they be 301 redirected internally?

Can some one help me find this Matt Cutts article on disavows?
Hey everyone. A while ago, I remember reading that Matt Cutts said that you can just disavow domains, and that the Google Webmaster Tools team doesn't read for comments (like if webmasters had been reached out to). Is this ringing any bells? I'm trying to find this tidbit again. Thanks!

These error pages are being redirected to the most relevant page, not mass redirected to the home page. Thanks for reading!

Hidden text that's not show in default view, does it hurt my on page optimization?
Hello, I am developing our new site that will create tabs such as "design", "tech specs", "customer ratings" etc. just like http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15z-5523/pd. My question is, if most of my content is on the 2nd and 3rd tabs, would my content effect my overall SEO if it's not on it's default view? Because, if users don't physically click on the 2nd and 3rd tab, does it mean that since there is no impression of that content, that content will be allocated to half of its SEO juice? Let me know, I would love to know! Shawn
