      Hi,

      I got the message "Increase in not found errors" (404 errors) in GWT for one of my website.

      I did not change anything but I now see a lot of "strange" URL's indexed (~50) :

      &ui=2&tf=1&shva=1

      &cat_id=6&tag_id=31&Remark=In

      %22%3EAny suggestion on how to fix it ?Erwan

        you appear to be using wordpress, have you installed any new plugins lately?

        what category is 6 and what tag id is 31?

        have you deleted a post?,

        Also I would recommend updating your permalinks.

          Thank you for trying to help.

          I added a game that I deleted 12h later ("scary maze game 9").

          I attached the missing URL.

          photostream

            I would re-submit your sitemap.using webmaster tools and set up a temporary redirect to your main page or another game.

            there is some great stuff on error codes in the seomoz blog, or some great plugins that do the work. I like Infinite SEO from wpdev http://premium.wpmudev.org?ref=reallynetworks-792651 or yoast seo is a free option
