Crawl Errors

I'm getting crawl errors from Google. It seems that all of the errors are coming from the outgoing links.

example:
http://www.mysite.com/outgoing/http://www_links_from_my_site_com/ect.....

any ideas?

Thanks

Those urls should not exist. They should be javascript based, ie

Code:

<a href="http://site.com/page" onclick=pageTracker(track, "/outgoing/http_etc");>link</a>

for google analytics outgoing funnel.

do you see this in your view source or something else?

Where do i find the view source?

Hi mike,

In your browser's View menu (or if you Right-Click on the page), there should be a View Source option.

This will bring up a window with the raw HTML code that makes up your page.

I know where that is, i thought it was in the settings.
I have pulled up the source and cant find anything on any of the pages that resembles this code.

It would obviosuly have to be on a thread page that has an outgoing link on it.

Ok here is what i get.

<a onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outgoing/http_www_multichannel_com_article_134912_Operator_ Of_The_Year_Managing_Change_At_Time_Warne_r_Cable_ php');" href="http://www.multichannel.com/article/134912-Operator_Of_The_Year_Managing_Change_At_Time_Warne r_Cable.php">please read here</a>

That is the correct format. Analytics must've just had a hiccup. Does it say when the last accessed date is?

Yeah it has several dates. 10th,2nd,30th and more. the strange thing is that i had no errors till yesterday.

Just keep an eye on it to see if the dates continue as of 11/16 onward. Webmaster tools is NOT real time and it will take a few days to clear out the bad urls.

Same thing here for the last few days. I have around 100 404 unavailable errors that list URLs like this:
http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/outgoing/...m_id_27689714_
404 (Not found)
unavailable

Will these clear out? I do have the Google Analytics settings set to /outgoing/ in vBSEOcp > Enter your Google Analytics External Links Tracking format.

Bot's don't parse javascript.... they should never even see the onclick events. Give it a few days and see what happens. They are CORRECT to 404, as they do not exist, so there's really nothing to fix.

I have over 500 of these /outgoing/ 404s in WMT now (updated to 3/2/2010). I'll watch to see if they continue.

900 now as of 3/3/2010. This still something I should not worry about? Crawl errors is growing with /outgoing/
