Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There was a really great article on the MozBlog about this topic. It was titled Freshness Factor: 10 Illustrations on How Fresh Content Can Influence Rankings and gives you detailed information into your question. In short, freshness of a page does affect rankings and if you created it without any SEO value it's worth taking a second look.

The link you provided still works, it's just redirected to http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test

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/applications/concrete-antiquing/top
http://www.directcolors.com/applications/concrete-countertops/top

I 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?
