Crawl issues, how to see a referring link?
-
Hi There,
We've got two crawl issues for pages that don't exist (and never existed). The links are strange and judging by the code in them, appear to be coming from our own CMS.
How can we see which pages the links are on in Moz?
Cheers
Ben

The only crawl errors you require to know the referring URLs is the 4xx errors. I know for the 4xx errors the table shows the 404 page and the referring URL.

Thanks for the reply.
The table doesn't show the referring URL for me but your answer prompted me to click the table row and I can now see the referring URL on the next page.
However, I've copied the source for the offending page into a text editor and searched for the broken link but it doesn't exist on the referring page which is weird - right?
Cheers

Hey there Ben!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
We'd love to help you to further investigate this - would you be able to pop a message over to help@moz.com, along with the name of the affected campaign and a few examples of the problems that you're seeing? This way we can take a look directly at your site and the CSV results and help you to isolate what's happening here:)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
