Find 404 errors

[Inevo]

Seomoz is currently reporting 404-errors, without saying where these errors are found.

What good is this report when it does'nt say a word about where I can find the page linking to the 404?

Screen: http://filer.crenia.no/NJPZ

I really think it's time for Seomoz to prioritize upgrading the pro tools. Feels like they haven't been updated in ages..

Hi Ignitas,

To get some insights into what urls are linking to a 404 page the best would be to export your Crawl Diagnostics to CSV. These files contain the urls linking to your pages.

Hope this helps a bit! But I would still suggest to the Moz team to include this feature within the PRO tools.

We understand your frustration, and know that having to download the CSV to find the 404 errors isn't the most obvious solution. It is on our list of things to work on. We do have some upgrades coming in the future, never fear!

Keri, given that this kind of question comes up so often, why not at least put a note on the report pages indicating that significantly more complete data is available in the CSV exports than can be shown in the tool itself?

If the data's there but in a non-obvious place, the page needs to do a better job of explaining that to the user.

If your site is under 3000 pages you can use this tool

http://brokenlinkcheck.com/

it shows you the broken link, and the page and where in the source code the broken link is on that page.

This would be a great addition to our web tools! Thanks so much for the suggestions. I can absolutely see how valuable this would be.

Must suggestion would be posting this as a feature suggestion. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:

The teams at SEOmoz pay close attention to these requests and we make additions and updates to our tools often based on submissions just like these. I hope this will help.
