          Hi!

          In Google Webmaster Tools I find *.../feed/ as a 404 page in crawl errors. The problem is that none of these pages exist and they have no inbound links (except the start page).

          FYI, it´s a wordpress site.

          Example:

          • www.mysite.com/subpage1/feed/
          • www.mysite.com/subpage2/feed/
          • www.mysite.com/subpage3/feed/
          • etc

          Does Google search for /feed/ by default or why do I keep getting these 404´s every day?

            Hi Tommy

            You can do as Aran suggests - a redirect would be fine for feeds you don't want being crawled.

            But more importantly, you may want to consider not indexing subpages (like this one: http://www.mediaanalys.se/blogg/page/2/) - you can make this setting in Yoast.

            Let us know!

                  I´ve checked the sitemap, you find it at ....se/sitemap_index.xml

                  It´s Yoast plugin BTW.

                    I see your point... cant find reference to /feed/ however i also cannot find your sitemap.xml to confirm their are no references in there are their an external links pointing to kontakt/feed?

                    I'd consider adding a 301 rule into the htaccess to redirect traffic from the offending 404 pages, just in case.

                      Sure, notice that it´s in swedish 😃

                      Example of one page that Google report 404 on is our contact page with /feed/ at the end,

                      http://www.mediaanalys.se/kontakt/   +   feed/

                          Hi Aran, thanks for your time!

                          Meta and sitemaps are clear. I also checked the source code for the specific pages that Google have in their reports, but no link.

                          I´ve also googled about the automatic feed functions in WP but no problem there either.

                            By default I think most wordpress blogs have a feed accessible via the urls you describe (http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/)

                            I'm pretty sure there specified somewhere link in sitemaps or even in meta.

                            Have you disabled your feeds?

                            Seeing your URL would help.

                              Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

                              I have a eCommerce site and the site structure is domain/product-name rather than domain/product-category/product-name Do you think this will have a negative impact SEO Wise? I have seen that some of my individual product pages do get better rankings than my categories.

                              Is Google suppressing a page from results - if so why?

                              UPDATE: It seems the issue was that pages were accessible via multiple URLs (i.e. with and without trailing slash, with and without .aspx extension). Once this issue was resolved, pages started ranking again. Our website used to rank well for a keyword (top 5), though this was over a year ago now. Since then the page no longer ranks at all, but sub pages of that page rank around 40th-60th. I searched for our site and the term on Google (i.e. 'Keyword site:MySite.com') and increased the number of results to 100, again the page isn't in the results. However when I just search for our site (site:MySite.com) then the page is there, appearing higher up the results than the sub pages. I thought this may be down to keyword stuffing; there were around 20-30 instances of the keyword on the page, however roughly the same quantity of keywords were on each sub pages as well. I've now removed some of the excess keywords from all sections as it was getting in the way of usability as well, but I just wanted some thoughts on whether this is a likely cause or if there is something else I should be worried about.

                              Hi! This might sound like a newbie question, but I'm trying to find all crawlable links (that google bot sees), on a particular page of my website. I'm trying to use screaming frog, but that gives me all the links on that particular page, AND all subsequent pages in the given sub-directory. What I want is ONLY the crawlable links pointing away from a particular page. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance.

                              How to stop my webmail pages not to be indexed on Google ??

                              when i did a search in google for Site:mywebsite.com , for a list of pages indexed. Surprisingly the following come up " Webmail - Login " Although this is associated with the domain , this is a completely different server , this the rackspace email server browser interface  I am sure that there is nothing on the website that links or points to this.
                              So why is Google indexing it ? & how do I get it out of there. I tried in webmaster tool but I could not , as it seems like a sub-domain. Any ideas ? Thanks Naresh Sadasivan

                              How to Redirect all inactive Feed to a specific Wordpress page

                              Hi Guys, I've been doing much cleaning on my blog lately and deleted numerous categories including their posts with low quality content. After deleting the categories, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting some 404 errors about the RSS Feeds for the deleted categories. I've created a 404.php file inside my theme and placed the following code header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
                              header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/My404Page/", true, 301);
                              exit();
                              ?> this have catched all 404 errors and redirected them to the specific page. Unfortunately, it could not catch the inactive feed urls.  Is there a way to do this so that all inactive feeds will be redirected to my 404 page? Thanks in advance....

                              Does google use the wayback machine to determine the age of a site?

                              I have a site that I had removed from the wayback machine because I didn't want old versions to show. However I noticed that in many seo tools the site now always shows a domain age of zero instead of 6 years ago when I registered it. My question is what do the actual search engines use to determine age when they factor it into the ranking algorithm? By having it removed from the wayback machine, does that make the search engines think the site is brand new? Thanks
