      Hello guys,

      I'm using wordpress and the Yoast to help me improve my SEO.

      Everything went well except for today because "Moz" found 404 errors when scrolling the website saying showing the domain of my website at the end of 12 url.

      For example : 
      www.domain.com/service-1/www.domain.com www.domain.com/contact-page/**www.domain.com **

      Do you have any idea where does that come from ?

      Thanks

      Alex

        Yep, I've seen this a lot.

        My guess is somewhere on the site you linked in your site like this:

        www.domain.com

        And you need to link it like this:

        http://www.domain.com

        So you need to find all of those broken links and edit them to add the http://

        (Note: if you use the broken links plugin, you should be able to do this fairly quickly.)

          Perhaps you did something to send people who end up on a 404 page back to the homepage and typed in 'www.domain.com' in the place where to want them to end up. You should type in '/' at these kind of plugins to go to the root domain.

              I did change the redirection 301 and put the things as you said.

              But it does it even if I launch a new post, or a new page, it automaticly put the domain at the end.

              Any ideas ?

              Thanks a lot

                Do you have Google Analytics installed?

                If Google sees these 404 errors too you could look from which pages it finds these errors.
                If you can find a page which links to http://domain.com/domain.com or something let me know and i'll inspect the page to see if i can find a problem there 🙂

                    I have found the error.

                    At the bottom of the page at the left side of the screen you have a green link.
                    This link is pointing to http://www.comptavenir.fr/www.comptavenir.fr

                    You should change this link from:

                    www.comptavenir.fr

                    To the following:

                    www.comptavenir.fr

                    Hope i helped. If i did please mark this as the correct answer 🙂
