Hi! If you download your crawl report as a CSV, there will be a column there showing you the referring site that linked to the 404.

Yes, there is referrer column which says www.acelerartech.com/sitemap.xml. This is my website and there are almost 286 errors detected by crawl diagnostic summary.

Here is the categorization of the errors : -

1. 4XX errors

2. duplicate page content

3. Duplicate page title

4. Missing Meta Tags

5)Title element is too long

6. Title element is too short.

However i configured and fixed most of the errors but got to failed solving 4XX errors and rel=canonical (which says status as true). I checked on those links and found that those links should me there on website. Then why those links are reported in 4XX as these links are in use.

Please provide your valuable suggestions and guide me what exactly to do?

Hi Vijay,

First off have you given Roger (Moz robot) enough time to recrawl the site and discover that you have fixed the errors? You can see the last crawl date at the top of the reports normally.

Google has some tips on fixing 404's - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409439?hl=en

You can also double check live 404's here - http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

I also bet if you take a search through the Moz community you can find some other peoples fixes for 404's

Hope that helps.
