Error for a page that doesn't exist.

[hughanderson]

Hi,

I'm just trailing this service, and I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help with.

1.  I am getting a high priority error regarding a page not being able to be crawled - a 4XX error. Problem is, there is no such page in existence. The URL is my site/comments/feed  It's driving me crazy.

2.  I'm also getting errors based on missing meta tags in blog posts. I am adding tags at the time of posting, so I am unsure why these errors are showing up. Actually, I didn't add tags to all posts - but there are errors on ALL posts, even those I added tags to.

Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!!!

Hi!

The 1st error is given when you are linking somewhere in your site to a 4XX page. Try following the links in hat error report to see which page is linking to that 4XX. Once you find it, simply remove the link or fix it.

The 2nd, if you are just adding the missing tags, it would take at least a week to reflect in the crawl stats in Moz as Mozbot scrapes your site one a week.

Hope that clears it up

Hi,

thanks for the fast response.

Following the error link take me nowhere - if I click the link I get an error saying it doesn't exist. Screen grab below. So, it reports an error, then tells me it doesn't exist. Seems weird.

On the point of the meta stuff, they aren't new. The were entered at the time of the blog postings, but the report says they don't exist.

Hard for my brain to wrap around.

Do you mind sharing your Website's address?

[hughanderson]

Sure, it's www.photographerinc.com

Your "blog" pages are in fact missing a description. For example: http://photographerinc.com/david/ has no description tag. It has the og:description, but that's not the same.

I wasn't able to find a broken link tho.

[hughanderson]

Hmm, weird. The broken link is showing up as the important issue. Oh well.

Thanks for the awesome support. I'll keep playing with this.

By the way Hugh, if you think the broken link reported by Moz isn't actually there, then you can contact them about a possible glitch here: help@moz.com
