Google keeps posting "not found" crawl errors for pages that does not exists anymore

charu.seo · 09-21-2011, 07:19 AM

Google keeps posting "not found" crawl errors for pages that have not existed on my site or server for over 6 months.

My site is (Packers movers company india|movers packers services in india|best professional packers and movers services provider)

In webmaster tools account, I found some urls are going to 404 not found but these are text link on third party site:for

example:

http://www.abc.com/ 29-Jun-11
but webmaster treated as a - http://www.abc.com/29-Jun-11

n these links are from directories n boomarking type sites.. If the third party site is having some alignment problem and

they cant show the complete url in one line then why it is showing in crawl error section? Y it is broken link?

So, my questions are:
1. What can reasonably be done to cause these errors to stop appearing?
2. Any thoughts in terms of how long these errors will continue to appear... months/years?
3. Is there any way to contact Google and have them cut this nonsense out.
4. My site has also been out from google, is 404 error is the reason for it.?..

A lot of questions there, but to fix any 404 errors appearing within your Google Webmaster tools account you will simply need to set up 301 redirects from the exact url which is appearing to an applicable url on your site which is active.

just be patient

I had that same problem. Being patient does not work. Don't ask me why.

Like SimpleSEOTips said, I had to do a 301 redirect to fix that "problem".

You should be doing a 301 redirect for any existing or future dead links, that's a webmaster 101 thing.

Anyone can create a link on the net that points to your domain with an incorrect url, which will return a 404 when Google finds that link, unless you do a site wide 301 redirect.
