      My SEOMoz report shows a 404 error, found today for this url:

      http://globalheavyhaul.com/google.com

      i do not have this anchor text anywhere on my website.

      How did Roger figure out that somebody looked for that page?

      Do I need to worry about 404 errors that are the result of user mistakes, instead of actual bad links?

        From what I understand, Roger crawls your site's links. So do you have that link anywhere on your page?

        From what I see there is a link to that page on your site,

        View your homepage page source and look below. I would go into your HTML and remove that link for whatever reason it is there. It is probably just an error.

        <a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">href</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">="</a>google.com"><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">href</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">="</a>about.html">src="images/What_we_do.gif" width="142" height="30" alt="About Shipping"><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">href</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">="</a>about.html">class="img"><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">href</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">="</a>services.html">src="images/View_serv.gif" width="142" height="30" alt="Freight Services">

          Thanks I searched for the full url, not just for google.com or i would have found that. No idea how that got into the HTML code. I'll have to talk with the web designer about that.
