Hi everyone!
So looking at my google webmaster tools it shows that I have 99 urls that cannot be found, however, those "urls" are simply just the "title-of-my-page/webmd" and I do not know how that could be possible when I am running a self hosted wordpress blog. Secondly, it says I have submitted 127 URL's and 226 have been indexed. How do I have more urls indexed than submitted?

    Happens sometimes when your messing with stuff like Tags and such. You may have submitted all of your articles and pages. But the crawler will also index
    Tags
    Cats
    Comment Feeds
    etc.. etc.....

      So it's really nothing to be worried about? Would you happen to know anything about why it says I have 99 urls that cannot be found when it is just adding "/WebMD" to the end of every one of my posts, tags, and categories... I really appreciate your help!

        Without having access, no. If its 404 not found. You could install a WP plugin like 404-to-start. That's just 1 there are many available.

        Take the free trail with these guys and do a full site audit. It should pick up on any bugs that might be on.

    Google indexes a lot of stuff. Any url that created, even searches
    from the site. A simple robots.txt tweaked would solve the issue.
    It's not really a problem, because no way would google ever show
    those urls in serps, except by some off beat chance.

    If you were using a really good CMS, unlike wp, you would not have
    to worry about such nonsense. And a whole host of other crapola.

    I keep hoping if I say that enough, people will actually do it.

    I assume, as always, there is some mindless plugin somewhere to stop
    it. Are people ever going to get tired of plugins?!?!?! Not anytime
    soon....

      I wish people would see the benefits of doing everything yourself. Places like WP are great for noobs but what happens when you are learning SEO by using plugins for things? That would be like learning Japanese language but your teacher is from India. You're going to learn Japanese but you will be speaking it in a Hindi accent.
