Crawl Errors in Google Webmaster

14 years 8 months ago #5594 by luke
I’m using SEF Advance in conjunction with my Jreview site at pokeroso.com   I’ve been using Google Webmaster Tool for about the last (2) months.  Everything was fine until I added SEF Advance which has caused undue hair loss and pre mature aging.  Hopefully I can get some answers here as I haven’t gotten any from them or from the Google forums either.  Here goes. 

I currently have Crawl errors ….lots of em.

HTTP 3
In Sitemaps 20
Not followed 933
Not found 25
Unreachable 4

Updated Jul 25, 2010

The funny thing here is that I really only have about 150 pages of content.

Some examples of the not followed errors are here,

www.pokeroso.com/barlounge/yes/criteria:...e:2/limit:15&lang=es

www.pokeroso.com/barlounge/yes/criteria:...e:3/limit:15&lang=en

I really don’t know what these are, where they are, how to get rid of them or even if I should as I’ve been told they might just fall off.  Are they effecting my google page rank?

The other thing is that I can’t find a broken link in the sitemap and 95% of the not found errors are working.

I just don’t get it.

Update:  I downloaded and have been running Xenu Link Sleuth.  Initially Xenu showed that I had about 30 broken links of which I have since repaired all of them.  As of today I am getting a tremendous amount of this error code:12029 (no connection) from Zenu.  Nada comes up for this in Google which falls right in line with my whole plight.    Most of the 12029 errors seem to be url’s that contain just an image. 

I have added

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^pokeroso.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ www.pokeroso.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

to .htaccess to eliminate duplicate url’s.


I added

RedirectMatch /brick_and_mortar_poker/(.*) /$1
RedirectMatch /online_poker/(.*) /$1

a couple of weeks ago when I shortened my url’s from pokeroso.com/category/article to pokeroso.com/article I’m still not sure if these are the correct redirects or if they are causing my problem. 

As of today my total number of crawl errors listed in Google Webmaster is somewhere around 1700 as they keep growing.

There is no easy answer on this. It requires a detailed analysis of your site and testing. I'm afraid I can't help much more. If you want me to work on that it would have to be on custom work basis as I can't see direct issue or bug with SEF Advance causing any of these errors you mention.

Emir, drop me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I’ll give you the specifics.  I'd like to discuss the custom work you were speaking of.  I don’t think this is a lengthy fix but it out of my scope of knowledge.
