I need some help on how to go about fixing the many 404 errors that i have on the site http://goo.gl/arwlON
Many of the 404 errors are images that were on the CDN and now i have not joking 6k 404 errors and a good percentage are the cdn images that I deleted of 3 years work as I did not need them. Would you guys/gals be able to help me on best solution to fixing them?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi there
I would do the following - check your internal links, check your sitemap, and create a custom 404 page. You're going to want to make sure that you're not linking to these pages through your links and sitemap, and you're going to want to make sure that users have a way to navigate out of 404 pages or find what they are looking for.
I agree Mark that if there is a relevant page for those pages to be redirected to (category page or content relevant to it), then see what opportunities you have there.
Keep in mind that if you can find patterns in the URL structure, you have the opportunity to block these pages with your robots.txt. I would be careful, however, because this could easily backfire if you don't know what you are doing.
Remember - Google in Search Console puts these errors in priority order, so run through those, see what kind of pages they are, where they live, and look at the resources above to see what kind of opportunities that you have to remedy the issue.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hello there,
Best solution is to talk to your Web Dev team and ask them to reassign all broken links to the relevant page of your site. This will improve your website SEO and at the same time the number of visitors from directing the dead links to existing page.
Hope this helps.

Really, what are the benefits of creating a Google Brand page for an e-commerce site?
We have a jewellery store client who already have a Google My Business page set up for its store front business. Should we also create a Google Brand page for its e-commerce site (which has a different business name to the jewellery store)? This client already has a pretty robust Facebook profile. Is it worth it maintaining a Brand page then - since it targets Google plus users?

Google+ Page Question
When we do a search in Google for our brand name like this "google+ whiteboard creations" we see 2 different G+ pages: 1) https://plus.google.com/b/104564843813332206907/ and 2) https://plus.google.com/+WhiteboardCreations/ #2 is our real one which we are trying to promote, grow, etc, etc. However, I'm not sure where the other one came from. Did Google create it? We have the option to "Delete Page" in the settings, but unsure if it will delete the real page we actively manage. Has anyone else had this issue with multiple pages? Any advice as get into G+ more and more? Thanks in advance everyone! - Patrick

YouTube won't let me disconnect a Google+ business page from my channel.
Hello! Here is a good one. My YouTube channel is connected to a Google+ page a created by accident. Since I named this accidental page as a business, when I go into advanced setting to disconnect it from YouTube, it says "This feature is not available for this account." Does anyone know a way around this? I don't want to have to rebuild my Google+ page on the new, accidental page. I have put quite a bit of time onto my current page and would like to get it hooked up to YouTube. Please help! Thank you!

Should I put my "brand" in every one of my posts / pages?
I've heard different thoughts on this and wanted to see what you the seomoz group thought. I have been leaving my "brand" out of my titles so I could create longer titles (without my "brand" taking up precious space.) I've also read that adding your brand can take away from the words you want to optimize for in the title / post. I've read other places that you want your brand in every page title to "strengthen" your brand. Long story short, I'm trying to figure out if I should add my brand to the my page / post titiles, or leave them as is. Feel free to check out my site and current title template if you'd like. Thanks!

Missing Title Pages
So, one of the campaigns I am running has 90 pages with missing titles. Normally I would consider this a very bad thing, BUT, the pages are product description pages. The referring pages are product listings, and the pages without titles, are small pop-ups. For example on a bigger stage: Nike has a product page, when you click on a shoe, a small window pops up with price, description, etc. How important/ vital/ relevant is it to have titles for these pop-ups, if it is even possible. Thank you in advance!
