Fixing Crawl Errors
-
Hi!
I moved my Wordpress blog back in August, and lost much of my site traffic. I recently found over 1000 crawl errors in Webmaster Tools because some of my redirects weren't transferred, so we are working on fixing the errors and letting Google know.
I'm wondering how long I should expect for Google to recognize that the errors have been fixed and for the traffic to start returning?
Thanks!

Hi Jodi,
If you are talking about 404 error in Google webmaster panel, I think now there is an option there to tell Google that following 404 problem has been fixed. You can select an URL and "Mark it as Fixed". Before they added this option, you should wait around 1 month for broken links to disappear from Webmaster Panel.
Meanwhile your traffic has dropped with your keywords rankings. If you are using any software to track them, I am sure you will notice some negative changes. If you are not using, then better to do that, because this is one of the best ways to monitor your blog recovery.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Russel
