      I recently asked a question on here about how to fix my 404 error.

      I figured it out, and now webmaster tools says it's not there any more. This as been confirmed by keeping watch for about a week now.

      But Moz just crawled my site today and is for some reason showing an error. Am i missing something here or is Moz a little slow sometimes?

        I've found times when I've cleared errors from Google Webmaster Tools and despite still being broken it wouldn't reappear on WMT for weeks.

        Has the offending page been 301'd or the originating incorrect links fixed to point to the correct place?

        As for Mozbot, did it just start the crawl or just finish the crawl? And when was your 404 fixed? It could be that mozbot crawled it before you fixed it so it's still saying that the page is broken. Or Roger could be drunk again and crawled an incorrect link it remembered from last time despite it not being there.

          Sorry it took awhile to respond.

          I have found the error still existing using Xenu link sleuth tool. Not sure why webmaster tools doesn't detect it anymore, maybe it is being deindexed and will just take some time to go away. I will keep  waiting and trying anything i come across.

          Thank you for your help.
