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.

SSL Cert error
Just just implemented SSL with a wild card cert and I got an email from google that my non-www cert is not valid. Any ideas ? SSL/TLS certificate does not include domain name https://electrictime.com/ To: Webmaster of https://electrictime.com/, Google has detected that the current SSL/TLS certificate used on <a>https://electrictime.com/</a> does not include <a>https://electrictime.com/</a> domain name. This means that your website is not perceived as secure by some browsers. As a result, many web browsers will block users accessing your site by displaying a security warning message. This is done to protect users’ browsing behavior from being intercepted by a third party, which can happen on sites that are not secure.

Whch Google Advanced Search Query To Use?
Hi basically i want to find sites which mention a specific exact keyword on the page e.g. "BMW" but the same keyword "BMW" is not contained in the title tag of the page. Is there a advanced search query to do this? I did try “BMW” Intitle:"-bmw" no luck. I do also have scrapebox if there is a way to do this through that. Cheers, Mark

How do I prevent 404's from hurting my site?
I manage a real estate broker's site on which the individual MLS listing pages continually create 404 pages as properties are sold. So, on a site with 2200 pages indexed, roughly half are 404s at any given time. What can I do to mitigate any potential harm from this?

Rankings and search traffic fell off a cliff
Hi Moz community, One of my clients has a beast of a website built in ASP.NET (which causes me problems cos I don't have much experience in that) It is a job-site that aggregates job opportunities from other job-sites and provides a job matching service by email etc. They used to have great presence on Google naturally for thousands of job searches. Since Penguin and Penguin 2.0 (I think) their traffic has fallen off a cliff. I have been doing some "off-page" experimentation, seeing if we can fix a lot of issues by re-sculpting their backlink profile (seeing as it was after penguin). but what I have found is that some pages respond to this off page work but some just do not at all, despite how we approach it, such as disavowing previous links building fresh new top quality content links with natural anchor text etc.... Which has lead me to the conclusion that the wider issue is on-page and potentially site structure. Unfortunately as it is ASP.NET I am not so comfortable diagnosing the issues. I think also some issues will be related to dupe content etc.... but I would LOVE to get some input from my learned Moz colleagues. The website is http://www.allthetopbananas.com/ - any tips on how to recover from this dramatic loss of traffic would be massively appreciated. Kind regards

404 with a Javascript Redirect to the index page...
I have a client that is wanting me to issue a 404 on her links that are no longer valid to a custom 404, pause for 10 seconds, then rediirect to the root page (or whatever other redirect logic she wants)...to me it seems trying to game googlebot this way is a "bad idea" Can anyone confirm/deny or offer up a better suggestion?

Universal Search vs Local Organic
Hi, My web site has high rankings in universal SERP's. However, in my city organic search the competitors’ web sites that even don’t show up in universal Serp’s have higher rankings than mine. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for any insight.
