      I'am getting a lot of 404 errors (196 to be precise ) - but their pattern is weird.
      The page that the crawler is trying to find is (e.g):
      http://www.oorbo.com/item/asufa-israeli-design-shop**/www.oorbo.com.
      the linking page is** http://www.oorbo.com/item/asufa-israeli-design-shop

      meaning it adds to the end of the link the root URL - /www.oorbo.com. This happens in all 196 cases - trying to find a page http://www.oorbo.com/some-page/www.oorbo.com from a refferer page http://www.oorbo.com/some-page. Obviously this pages do not exist, and it's getting a 404.

      I've look into the pages themselves and digged into their code - It doesn't seem that the bad link is any where on the page.

      Did anyone came across this kind of issue? any one can point me to a solution ?

        The issue is the link in the contact info - www.oorboo.com

        If you look in the source:

        www.oorbo.com

        => this is a relative link - so when you click on it the www.oorbo.com will be added to the current url.

        Make it absolute & the issue is solved:

        www.oorbo.com
