Soft 404 errors
-
Google webmaster tools is telling me I have 8 "soft 404's".
They are all like this page...
http://www.seadwellers.com/search/page/8/All 8 pages are the same except the number at the end......
I just can't figure this....any insight at all is appreciated and do i need to correct somehow?

Hi there
Take a look at Google's URL patterns and exclude URLs resources. These are great pieces to help you handle your search URLs and patterns.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Patrick is right, usually the soft 404 errors are a sign that your pages are very low quality and probably don't provide anymore information. What I would recommend doing is exclude your search definitely from the bots itself by adding it to your robots.txt file.

When you say "exclude your search"...do you mean exclude that soft 404 page specifically from the search bots?
Can you take a quick peek at one of the pages in question...?
http://www.seadwellers.com/search/page/8/There are 8 of them....only diff is the number at end of URL...I am afraid I do not understand how/why it exists?
Any insight you might have time to give is greatly appreciated...I'm trying to learn.
Thank you Martijn
