Hi all, I'm having a crawl error problem that is being reported by Google Webmaster Tools, and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it and fix it.

I am having sub-pages show up as /feed and /comment-page-1/ that are giving 404 errors. Here are some examples:

  • 2011/10/october-2011-net-worth-update/comment-page-1/
  • 2011/12/starwood-amex/comment-page-1/
  • 2010/03/where-my-money-goes/comment-page-1/2012/01/
  • secure-your-online-life/feed/
  • 2011/03/bankruptcy/feed/
  • 2011/07/the-hunt-for-a-home/feed/

Any ideas? How can I fix this?

I guess the only way I can think of is doing a 301 redirect in your .htaccess file.

 

eg:

redirect 301 secure-your-online-life/feed/ http://narrowbridge.net/secure-your-online-life

 

Hope this helps.

That's a lot of 301s. 299 of them.

Well, you should be able to match them by pattern.  But, I'd be careful of doing that with the /feed/ ones as you'll likely change your actual feed if you match it to generically.  Also, 5 of the 6 examples have dates in them, whereas your site URL doesn't have a date in it anymore.  Possibly a redirect error with however you changed the permalinks?

It should be easy enough to use RedirectMatch in htaccess to fix all the ones that start with dates.

 

Really though, you'll want to check to see where those pages are being linked from to ensure it won't keep happening.  Perhaps you just didn't use a full url in a link somewhere.
