Tracking a Crawl error

[wedmonds]

Hi All,

If you find a crawl error on your page.  How do you find it?

The error only says the URL that is wrong but this is not the location.  Can i drill down and find out more information?

Thank you!

Hi Wayne, Just to clarify you are having issues with a crawl error in Webmaster tools, and when you click the url it works fine? You can use tools such as Google Webmaster tools > Fetch as Google bot and input the url to see how Google Bot see's it in HTML. You can also download a text based browser such as Lynx to view your website very similar to how Google bot see's it. It will be very hard to determine a Crawl Path, as if that information was available we could develop trends and get a little closer to their algorithm. Crawler trackers can, on occasion cause hinderence to the crawler.Hope this helps.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for coming back to me.

You are spot on... I think I have been sitting at the desk to long today.  Zoned out!

Yep, webtools in google shows the URL in full so I can find it now.

Thanks for your help
