Error 404 Search Console
-
Hi all,
We have a number of 404 https status listed in Search Console even treated, not decrease. What happened:
- We launched a website with the urls www.meusite.com/url-abc.
- We launched these urls sitemap.
- Google has indexed.
... For some reason, the urls were changed four days later by some developer in my equipe. So
- I asked the redirection of URLs "old" already indexed to the new (of: / url-abc to / url-xyz) all correspondingly.
- I submit the sitemap with new urls.
- We fixed the internal links.
- And than marked as fixed in the Search Console.
But it does not work!
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the answer Bernadette Coleman.
Yes, it can be a Google issues. But the biggest problem is that the Google Adwords team, are trying to make ads with some urls , and some Urls are being blocked by Google Adwords.
Note: The URLs that are reproved are not on the console search sampling, do not have 404 http status or redirects. Are the final URLs with 200 https Status
- Google Support answer - Disapproved ads
It seems that the issue is with the URLs. When our system crawled, they resulted in 404 violations
Hence, I request you to check Google Webmaster tools to identify the issue. Also, I request you to speak with your development team to identify the issue.
Once the issue has been fixed, I kindly ask you to re-submit the ads in the account, which will cause our system to re-review them.About the 404 errors on console. I had already taken the 404 urls sampling console and tracked screaming frog:
246 urls Status 404
303 urls Status 200
459 urls status 30170% of URLs were corrected, were marked as corrected on console, but Google insists back them to the list.

This could be a Google issue. It takes some time for Google to "forget" about URLs they know about, so they may continue to crawl old URLs.
If you have redirected these URLs and they are not showing a 404 error, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I would still mark them as fixed in Google Search Console and then see if they come back again. I would also test those URLs randomly using the Googlebot user agent.
One thing you can do, however, is to crawl those URLs yourself using Screaming Frog or another similar spider tool. Make sure you have the user agent set as Googlebot just to make sure that you're seeing what Google might potentially see. When you crawl, you should see the redirects. If not, then you will need to look into why you're seeing a 404 error.

On-site Search - Revisited (again, *zZz*)
Howdy Moz fans! Okay so there's a mountain of information out there on the webernet about internal search results... but i'm finding some contradiction and a lot of pre-2014 stuff. Id like to hear some 2016 opinion and specifically around a couple of thoughts of my own, as well as some i've deduced from other sources. For clarity, I work on a large retail site with over 4 million products (product pages), and my predicament is thus - I want Google to be able to find and rank my product pages. Yes, I can link to a number of the best ones by creating well planned links via categorisation, silos, efficient menus etc (done), but can I utilise site search for this purpose? It was my understanding that Google bots don't/can't/won't use a search function... how could it? It's like expeciting it to find your members only area, it can't login! How can it find and index the millions of combinations of search results without typing in "XXXXL underpants" and all the other search combinations? Do I really need to robots.txt my search query parameter? How/why/when would googlebot generate that query parameter? Site Search is B.A.D - I read this everywhere I go, but is it really? I've read - "It eats up all your search quota", "search results have no content and are classed as spam", "results pages have no value" I want to find a positive SEO output to having a search function on my website, not just try and stifle Mr Googlebot. What I am trying to learn here is what the options are, and what are their outcomes? So far I have - _Robots.txt - _Remove the search pages from Google _No Index - _Allow the crawl but don't index the search pages. _No Follow - _I'm not sure this is even a valid idea, but I picked it up somewhere out there. _Just leave it alone - _Some of your search results might get ranked and bring traffic in. It appears that each and every option has it's positive and negative connotations. It'd be great to hear from this here community on their experiences in this practice.

ECommerce search results to noindex?
Hi, To avoid duplicated content and the possibility of thousands additional pages to an ecommerce website would it be a reasonable solution to have the page as a no-index, would this benefit the site? Thanks **Lantec **

Custom Google Search & Joomla/Wordpress
If you install google custom search on a site - does it record a list of all the searches people type into the search box? Is there a Joomla & Wordpress Search plugin/extension that keeps a track of the search history used on your site(s).

Title displays differently depending on search query?
Hi, I have seen this a few times but maybe someone can shed some light as to why this happens? If I search for a generic keyword im targeting in the title tag it shows the actual title tag placed in the code. But if I search for the brand name, the title tag changes to show just the brand name, so completely different to the default title tag. Any ideas why it does this? And is this bad, is Google saying the content on the site is not relevant and therefore decides to change it? Cheers

Zip Code Blocks the Search Engines!
I have a site where when you visit the product pages, it asks for your zip code. This is obviously blocking the bots from crawling the site. I know you can basically tell the bots how to ignore the zip code feature but I am not exactly sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciated

Have you ever seen this 404 error: 'www.mysite.com/Cached' in GWT?
Google webmaster tools just started showing some strange pages under "not found" crawl errors. www.mysite.com/Cached www.mysite.com/item-na... <--- with the three dots, INSTEAD of www.mysite.com/item-name/ I have just 301'd them for now, but is this a sign of a technical issue? The site is php/sql and I'm doing the URL rewrites/301s etc in .htaccess. Thanks! -Dan EDIT: Also, wanted to add, there is no 'linked to' page.

How do I get rid of all the 404 errors in google webmaster tools after building a new website under the same domiain
I recently launched my new website under the same domain as the old one. I did all the important 301 redirects but it seems like every url that was in google index is still their but now with a 404 error code. How can I get rid of this problem? For example if you google my company name 'romancing diamonds' half the link under the name are 404 errors. Look at my webmaster tools and you'll see the same thing. Is their anyway to remove all those previous url's from google's indexes and start anew? Shawn
