      Dear Mozzerz

      We took over www.urgiganten.dk not long ago and last week we opened up for indexation, after having taken the old website down for a couple of months. One week after opening for indexation we saw a huge increase in crawl errors.Google is discovering some weird links to e.g http://www.urgiganten.dk/30-garmin-urremme/ which returns a 404. In GWT we are told that we are linking to this url from http://www.urgiganten.dk/garmin-urremme. But nowhere on http://www.urgiganten.dk/garmin-urremme will you find this link. However you will find the following script in the source code, which is the only code part that contains "/30-garmin-urremme/":Can it be true that google take the id and adds it to our tld to form a url? We have seen quite a lot of these errors not only on Urgiganten.dk but also some of our other websites!

        And you should not mind all the empty categories. We have just lunched the categories for now to keep track of the indexation process and catch errors, such as this, before they explode.

          Would be possible, I've also seen them mark custom pageviews that are hidden in the code an not an actual link make it a 404 in Google Webmaster Tools. As long as you don't have thousands in GWT I wouldn't care to much about it.

            Dear Martihn

            Is there any fix to this? it is hard not to have scripts and input fields that contain these sort of things!
