Strange 404 Error(Answered)
-
Hi everyone!
I recently took over a new account and I was running an initial crawl on the site and a weird 404 error popped up.
http://www.directcolors.com/products/liquid-colored-antique/top
http://www.directcolors.com/applications/concrete-antiquing/top
http://www.directcolors.com/applications/concrete-countertops/topI understand that the **top **could be referring to an actual link that brings users to the top of a page, but on these pages there is no such link. Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks! That is what I get for looking at things at 2am...completely oblivious to look into the actual source code to pull that tag off. Next time I'll ask a question in the morning!

you might want to check out the source code.
If that is the "Go to Top" type of link. you will see < a href="#top">(anchor text) The location of the anchor text will be<a name="top"></a>

Hi Blake
In the source code, at the beginning of the tag, you have a <a href="<a href="http://www.directcolors.com/products/liquid-colored-antique/top" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">top"> bit of code.</a href="<a>
This won't be doing anything apart from creating a 404 error, so you can remove it.
Incidentally, if your client or you are looking at how to place internal anchors on a page, this is a great guide on how to do it.
As the article says, for any link like this to work it would need to be in the of the HTML, not the as it currently is.
Hope this helps

This: <a <span="" class="webkit-html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-tag">="</a>top">

60,000 404 errors
Do 404 errors on a large scale really matter? I'm just aware that I now have over 60,000 and was wondering if the community think that I should address them by putting 301 redirects in place. Thanks

404 Error
Hello, Seomoz flagged a url as having a 404 client error. The reason the link doesn't return a proper content page is because the url name was changed. What should we do? Will this error disappear when Google indexes our site again? Or is there some way to manually eliminate it? Thanks!

How to fix duplicate page content error?
SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnostics is complaining about a duplicate page error. The example of links that has duplicate page content error are http://www.equipnet.com/misc-spare-motors-and-pumps_listid_348855 http://www.equipnet.com/misc-spare-motors-and-pumps_listid_348852 These are not duplicate pages. There are some values that are different on both pages like listing # , equipnet tag # , price. I am not sure how do highlight the different things the two page has like the "Equipment Tag # and listing #". Do they resolve if i use some style attribute to highlight such values on page? Please help me with this as i am not really sure why seo is thinking that both pages have same content. Thanks !!!

Missing Cache - very strange
Anyone have experience with a cache going missing from a page that had a cache in the past? We’re overhauling a page and noticed the cache was gone from Google results. We don’t know if this event is good/bad/doesn’t matter but I am curious why this happens. I am positive the cache was missing before we updated the page today because a programmer mentioned they did try checking for a cache for a historical load time prior to today for a different project. I have attached two screenshots to illustrate two things: 1) What google delivers for a cache: of the page instead of the normal cache page 2) Even though you can see a cache of any of the indexed pages we have from a serp, the cached link is missing in serps for the mentioned page Has anyone seen this before? thanks!
