      In my SEOmoz errors there are over a dozen 404 errors listed. However, they are not showing up in Google analytics. How can I find the referring url for the ones showing up here?

        I went into Crawl Diagnostics and chose Issues 4xx and got a few pages. Does that not work?

          Just use a crawler like Screaming Frog, crawl your website and see if you see any errors / 404s that you are linking to. And you can identify what all pages link to it.

          I hope this helps.

            Hi! If you download the CSV of your errors, it will tell you the referring URL.

              HI Keri,

              I just tried that and a lot greater list comes up than the 20 or so 404 errors. And I really am unable to determine what the referring url is from the csv list.

              Kindly,

              Sarah

                  Yes, I figured it out now. (duh). thanks!

                  It is curious that Google web tools didn't pick those up.
