    Not Found is a 404...if you deleted certain pages from your site, they will be crawled as NOT FOUND. This is what is supposed to happen so don't worry about it.
    But if you didn't delete these pages, then you should worry about it and try and fix it

    I've never seen the Not Followed before so I couldn't tell you.

    This is just a guess... The not followed could be a result of "nofollow" tags.

    They are outdated pages in your site. Nevermind about them as they are not going to affect your site. they will be gone in time.

    Not found on the webmaster tells you that those pages are not found on the site when spider crawled your site. Just check whether that pages links are broken or having any error. Usually these error comes when you have 404 error on your site.

    Not followed may be refers to that spider may not be able to follow that page. Check whether you have any technical error on the site.

    Not found means your website has 404 errors or we can say Urls of two pages are not working properly. Google website tool are not found these pages in your website. You will right them or remove them.
    Not followed are come from two reason
    - You have used 28 URLs no-follow or disallow in your robots.txt.
    - Google webmaster tool has not followed your allow URLs in robots.txt file.
    You will again submit your robots.txt file and tell to Google using Google webmaster tool.

      Well.... i think above posters explained it so just a quick add up.
      Someone said the crawl errors would disappear but i got a couple of them ( nothing really important ) for a year now so im guessing they don't.

        Mine are still up, too on webmaster tools. They are finally starting to disappear (starting two days ago), but only 1 at a time each day. As long as they don't keep showing up in each update, it should be fine.

    Google wemaster tools does not show not follow links error.
    Not found links errors are due to deleting a page from we site if without deleting you getting this problem then you need to analyze the site/pages.

    I analyzed and tested all links and all are fine.
    and what's with this
    -"11 sitemap crawl errors - redirect errors"
    -My robots.txt also gets me - "302 [moved temporarily]".
    -sitemap status is now down.

    what the hell is going on?

    Get hold of a web developer and get all those issues fixed. Else preforming an SEO campaign for your website would go as a waste.

      when you use a webdeveloper, you simply hand him all passwords to your webmaster tools and wp-admin? or is it some other way?
