4XX (Client Error)
-
How much will 5 of these errors hurt my search engine ranking for the site itself (ie: the domain) if these 5 pages have this error.
-
not sure if this is any help to anyone but I have almost the same issue but it's a 500 error and the description says:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/downpour/init.py", line 391, in _error failure.raiseException() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/failure.py", line 370, in raiseException raise self.type, self.value, self.tb Error: 500 Internal Server Error
Talking to my hosting provider they said when the seomoz bot crawled my site it put my cpu usage over 25% causing the errors... We will see if this happens on Sunday.

One of my crawls has just completed and I see that I have 5 404 : Error messages that display the same error as quoted. I feel that I am being a little pedantic as 5 does seem petty in comparison to the numbers quoted by the other members, I would just like to know if there is something that I can do to eliminate these. Please can you advise if this is something only derived by the moz crawl itself or if it may have something to do with an external cause that I can influence?
I greatly appreciate your time.

Thank you!

We do know about the 406 errors, and we uploaded a fix for that on Tuesday. Your next crawl should not show these errors again.

I am experiencing exactly the same thing as alsvik-- I went from 0 406 errors to 681 in one week, having changed nothing on my site. Like him, it is PDFs and .jpgs that are generating this error, and I get EXACTLY the same error message.
Clearly, SEOmoz has changed a python script such that their bot no longer accepts these MIME types. Please correct this ASAP.

I just got spammed with 406 errors. Seomoz suddenly found 390 of these on my site (all png, jpg and pdf).
I have changed nothing on my site and GWT shows none of these. So i'm thinking that the Seomoz-crawler maybe doing something wrong ...
It all boils down to trust. I trust GWT (it may be slow though).

it is on a pdf with a link on it. The error message says:

<dt>Meta Description</dt>

It's hard to quantify the impact of the 404 pages not knowing the relative size of your site.
Overall, the 404s aren't good for your SEO. You should work towards fixing the pages that are giving the error or 301 redirecting the bad urls.

Manual Webspam Error. Same Penalty on all sites on Webmaster Tools account.
My URL is: www.ebuzznet.comToday when i checked webmaster tools under manual spam section. I got Manual spam and reason was Thin content with little or no added value. Then I checked other sites from same webmaster tools account, there are 11 sites, all of them received same manual action. I never received any mail, no notification on site messages section regarding this manual action. I just need confirmation whether it is something to do with any error in webmaster tools or all of the sites really received manual spam actions.Most of the article on sites are above 500 words, quality content (no spun or copied).Looking for suggestions, answers

Error: Missing Meta Description Tag on pages I can't find in order to correct
This seems silly, but I have errors on blog URLs in our WordPress site that I don't know how to access because they are not in our Dashboard. We are using All in One SEO. The errors are for blog archive dates, authors and just simply 'blog'. Here are samples: http://www.fateyes.com/2012/10/

Error msg 'Duplicate Page Content', how to fix?
Hey guys, I'm new to SEO and have the following error msg 'Duplicate Page Content'. Of course I know what it means, but my question is how do you delete the old pages that has duplicate content? I use to run my website through Joomla! but have since moved to Shopify. I see that the duplicated site content is still from the old Joomla! site and I would like to learn how to delete this content (or best practice in this situation). Any advice would be very helpful! Cheers, Peter

404 Error from site - is this normal?
I have been trying to clean up any 404 errors. We keep getting the following: URL /include/vdimgck.php referring domain http://www.856d.c@m/plus/feedback.php rendered domain unclickable by adding the "@" since I do not know if it is safe. I just turned off the trackbacks and pings in the blog since I saw it was producing duplicate content and from what I read it is not worth keeping those with Wordpress. is vdimgck.php anything some here instantly recognizes ? It tops all our 404 errors, seems like a lot of requests. Thanks!
