Internal 404 Error

[WallerD]

Hi sorry for the newbie question, I have a few 404 pages on my moz crawl report. so for example this one : http://www.dwliverpoolphotography.co.uk/blog/www.coraclecomm.wordpress.com. How can I find the page that is linking to it so I can fix the link or delete it?

Best wishes.

David.

Looks like a broken comment link.  You are on Wordpress, right?  Just install the Broken Links plugin and run through the links it finds.  You can fix or delete straight from the plugin.

What happened was someone left you a comment using "www.mydomain.com" instead of "http://www.mydomain.com" - the link then gets messed up.

Screaming Frog handles this really well. Just do a scan of your site and sort the columns by Status Code. Find the page in question and there is a tab at the bottom for "In Links" that will tell you which pages it is linked from.

thanks guys!

The broken link plug missed one that screaming frog found so I will use both tools in the future.

Best wishes.

As an FYI for anyone else reading this as well as your future knowledge - the Broken Link Finder may take a day or two to catalog your whole site based on how many pages, how many links in your theme, etc.  So while it may have missed it today, I would bet that after 2-3 days it finds every broken link. I've never found one it missed, especially with the above issue (no http).
