    4. I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks

      Can you help with how to fix this 404 error please?

      It appears that I have a redirect from one page to the other, although the referring page URL works, but it appears to be linking to another URL with this code at the end of the the URL  - %5Bnull%20id=43484%5D that I'm struggling to find  and fix.

      Thanks

        %5B is [ 
        and %5D is ]
        %20 is " " (space)

        So technically speaking something add this to the URL - "[null id=43484]" without quotes. You need to find that and fix it.

          Thanks for replying, however I’m still unsure how to fix it.

          Are you able to offer a bit of guidance on this please?

          Thanks

          • Is this a true rel=nofollow for the whole article? "printfriendly.com" is part of the URL which is why I'm confused.

          • If I'm using a compressed sitemap (sitemap.xml.gz) that's the URL that gets submitted to webmaster tools, correct?
