404 Errors in Google Webmaster Tools
-
Hello,
Google webmaster tools is returning our URLs as 404 errors:
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/watch/D5GrrPEN9Oc/tom-mccarthy-floating/
When we enter the URL into the browser it loads the page just fine.
Is there a way to determine why Google Webmaster Tools is returning a 404 error when the link loads perfectly fine in a browser?
Thanks,
Alex

Your looks like a script or something. It has a bunch of links. On my end I see nothing except the nav bar and some banner ad. NOTHING in the body. I would give this a 404.
-
I can confirm the page loads fine for me at this time.
I would suggest examining your server logs and determining the reason for the disruption.
-
Hmm, the URL loads ok now. Could have something to do with the feed. Thanks for checking up. We'll have to do some investigating.
-
It seems you have an issue with your site.
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/watch/zX6ZOL6kCVY/shane-mosley-trains-for-pacquiao/
That is the only link of yours I tried, and it offers a 404 error for me.

Thanks for following up so quickly.
It's been happening for a few days and it's the group of links:
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/watch/D5GrrPEN9Oc/tom-mccarthy-floating/
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/watch/8nMT69kjNvY/dirk-responds-mocking/
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/watch/zX6ZOL6kCVY/shane-mosley-trains-for-pacquiao/
There's a few pages of these. Everything seems fine through web. I've had the server admins check the logs and they don't see any page errors coming in for those links. Is there anything else that can cause Google to show 404s on working links?
-
If it is just an occasional link, or a few links on a given day, then it is probable there was an issue during the crawl.
The purpose of the information is to alert you to possible problems with your site. If you investigated the issue and have determined everything is ok, then I would suggest disregarding the matter.
If the same URL appears more then once as a 404 error, or if you see a large number of errors, then further investigation would be warranted. You can check your server logs for additional information.

Hi,
Technical SEO | | JamesHancocks1
I've just inherited a website that I'll be looking after. I've looked in the Search Console in the Crawl errors section and discovered thousands of urls that point to non- existent pages on Desktop. There's 1,128 on Smartphone.
Some are odd and make no sense. for example: | bdfqgnnl-z3543-qh-i39634-imbbfuceonkqrihpbptd/ | Not sure why these have are occurring but what's the best way to deal with them to improve our SEO? | northeast/ | 404 | 8/29/18 |

Sitemap errors have disappeared from my Google Webmaster tools
Hi all, A week ago I had 66 sitemap errors related to href langs in my GWT. Now, all the errors are gone, and it shows no errors. We have not done any work to fix the errors. I wonder if anybody has experienced the same thing, of Google suddenly changing the criteria or the way they report on errors in Google Webmaster Tools. I would appreciate any insights from the community! Best regards Peru

Google index graph duration in Google Webmaster Tools
Hello guys, I wonder, my sites are currently being indexed every 7 days, exactly. At Index Status page in GWT. However, this new site gets updated almost everyday, how can I ask google to index faster and more frequently/almost daily? Is it about SItemap.xml frequency ? I changed it today to Daily. Thanks!

Expired domain 404 crawl error
I recently purchased a Expired domain from auction and after I started my new site on it, I am noticing 500+ "not found" errors in Google Webmaster Tools, which are generating from the previous owner's contents.Should I use a redirection plugin to redirect those non-exist posts to any new post(s) of my site? or I should use a 301 redirect? or I should leave them just as it is without taking further action? Please advise.

Should I consider webmaster tools links and linked pages ratio to remove unnatural links?
I don't know this is a suitable place for post this question. Anyway I have done it. According to the Google webmaster tools, Links to your site page. My blog has considerable amount of links, from linked pages (from certain domain names). For an instance please refer following screenshot. When I am removing unnatural links, should I consider these, links from linked pages ratio? Almost all of these sites are social bookmarking sites. When I publish a new bookmark on those sites, they automatically add a homepage link. As a result of that, I got a huge number of home page links from linked pages. What is your recommendation? Thanks! webmaster.png web_master_tools.png

About Google Spider
Hello, people! I have some questions regarding on Google spider. Many people are saying that "Google spiders only have US IP address." Is this really true? But I also saw video from Google's offical blog and it said "Google spider come from all around the world." At this point I am really confused. Q1) I researched and it seems like Google spiders have only US IP address. THen what does exactly mean by "Google spider come from all around the world."? Q2) If Google spider have only US IP address, what happen to site which use IP delivery? Is this means that Google spider always redirect to us site since they only have US IP? Can anyone help me to understand?? One more questions! When Google analyzing for cloaking issue, do you think Google analyze when spider crawls the site or after they crawled the site?
