Hello guys
My Google Webmaster tools are giving me this message for one of my sites:



Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 10 errors while attempting to connect to your site. Your site's overall connection failure rate is 38.5%. You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.

Recommended action
  • Verify that the web service software for your site is installed and running properly.
  • Verify that your firewall or server are not blocking googlebot's access to your site.
  • Verify that all scripts that run on your site have proper permissions to run.
  • Verify that your site has proper permissions to access the pages of your site.
  • Using Webmaster Tools, find a day with a high error rate and examine the logs for your web server for that day. Look for errors in the logs for that day and fix the causes of those errors.
  • Your site may be overloaded. Talk with your hosting provider about either reconfiguring your web server or allocating more resources to your web server.
I've setup monitoring with both Pingdom and Sitebeak but I don't get any alarms. I've also checked my server logs and I cant seem to find anything causing connection errors.

Does anyone know where I should start looking? Can I track what Google is actually looking for? (thought it might be a specific URL which is causing it)

Hope to hear from you guys
