Campaign 4XX error gives duplicate page URL

[maximphotostudio]

I ran the report for my site and had many more 4xx errors than I've had in the past month. I updated my .htaccess to include 301 statements based on Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors. Google has been reporting a positive downward trend in my errors, but my SEOmoz campaign has shown a dramatic increase in the 4xx pages.

Here is an example of an 4xx URL page:

http://www.maximphotostudio.net/engagements/266/inniswood_park_engagements/http:%2F%2Fwww.maximphotostudio.net%2Fengagements%2F266%2Finniswood_park_engagements%2F

This is strange because URL:

http://www.maximphotostudio.net/engagements/266/inniswood_park_engagements/ is valid and works great, but then there is a duplicate entry with %2F representing forward slashes and 2 http statements in each link.

What is the reason for this?

Max,

Because the links you put are to your private data, SEOmoz won't let anyone follow. Can you put in a screenshot and then just give a link tot the actual url that is a problem? Thanks.

I did a crawl of your site and you only have 6 404's i could find
most were pointing to this file
/iepngfix.htc

this file is to fix transperency on png images for IE6

But you do have over 1600 un-necessary redirects,causing a huge lose of link juice.
I asume from looking at a few that you have been 301ing 404's to other opages, you really should find the source of these 404 and remove the links or fix them, this would save you a huge amount of link juice
