Why would my ip address show up in my webmaster tools links?
-
I am showing thousands of links from my servers ip address. What would cause that?
-
I went ahead and private messaged you the ip.
-
Would you mind posting the IP here? It "might" help.
-
If you try to type in just the ip address it will show up as this webpage not available. I don't know how Google has access, or why they would crawl a dns server.
-
What happens when you load the IP address? Does it load your website or something else?
-
That is actually my old thread. I never figured it out then either, I just know the number has almost doubled.

Just want to add that it is not my actual server but my dns server.
-
That is a good starting point. I have a little bit different problem though. My ip already has a 301 and it doesn't show up in site: at all. So weird.

Hi Niners52, This is a server administration issue. Normally the IP address version of the site is 301 redirected to the preferred domain. It looks like your site has been cached by Google based on the IP address. Here's a helpful thread discussing the issue and how to fix it:

Hope that helps! Cheers,

Links to my site still showing in Webmaster Tools from a non-existent site
We owned 2 sites, with the pages on Site A all linking over to similar pages on Site B. We wanted to remove the links from Site A to Site B, so we redirected all the links on Site A to the homepage on Site A, and took Site A down completely. Unfortunately we are still seeing the links from Site A coming through on Google Webmaster Tools for Site B. Does anybody know what else we can do to remove these links?

Is it dangerous to use "Fetch as Google" too much in Webmaster Tools?
I saw some people freaking out about this on some forums and thought I would ask. Are you aware of there being any downside to use "Fetch as Google" often? Is it a bad thing to do when you create a new page or blog post, for example?

Is Google Webmaster tools Accurate?
Is Google webmaster Tools data completely inaccurate, or am I just missing something? I noticed a recent surge in 404 errors detected 3 days ago (3/6/11) from pages that have not existed since November 2011. They are links to tag and author archives from pages initially indexed in August 2011. We switched to a new site in December 2011 and created 301 redirects from categories that no longer exist, to new categories. I am a little perplexed since the Google sitemap test shows no 404 errors, neither does SEO MOZ Crawl test, yet under GWT site diagnostics, these errors, all 125 of them, just showed up. Any thought/insights? We've worked hard to ensure a smooth site migration and now we are concerned. -Jason
