  • The crawl errors indicate the presence of too many 404 pages on your website. Rectify the errors on your website (delete the 404 pages or fix them) and remove any invalid urls in your sitemap. After some time, the crawl errors should disappear from your WM tools account. Crawl errors won't impact your search rankings so no need to be anxious.
  • What the hell has PR to be with the question???? LoL

    You would need to take a look to your robots.txt, you are probably blocking some of the pages included in your sitemap.xml

    Once you check everything is back to normal just "fetch them" and they will be indexed.

    • Look at the URL of the error and see what it is. Is it a real page? If so, it might be your host, as in your website wasn't coming up when Google was crawling it, that happened to me a couple times.

      If the URLs aren't pages that are on your site, then redirect them to a page that exists.
