Google Webmaster Tool + Crawl Errors & SEO
- SEO |
Earlier today, I decided to take a few extra minutes to explore my Google Webmaster Tool account. In the past all I ever did was login and submit my new site, and sitemap.
But apparently I should be paying a little more attention to the sites that I add. Because one of the sites apparently has 139 crawl errors:
Not followed (redirect error) - 1 error in total. It then says that the URL was detected on Aug 2, 2010.
Not Found (404) - 138 errors in total. Under the "linked from column", it says "unavailable" for most of the links, and the rest say "h**p://mydomain.net/sitemap.xml.gz". All the URL's were detected at a later date.
Now with that all out of the way, I have a few questions for the more experienced Warriors. For starters, why did Google not find these links in the first place? Are these crawl errors normal? And do these errors have any negative consequences on my rankings? And one other thing, if Google says the link was "detected" does that mean that the error is now fixed, and the URL is indexed by Google?
Thank you,
Gordon
