    Google Webmasters not found pages

    The past few days I have seen the "Not Found" pages within Google Webmasters slowly increasing and is currently up to 96. The weird part is that 99% of the pages, well, let's just say I have no idea where or how Google came up with it.

    Example: One of the entries is mydomain.com/store. Never have I ever had some kind of store or had a store directory. I checked out the page that supposedly links to it and found this
    Code:
    onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Outgoing', 'www.revolvermag.com', '/store']);" href="http://www.revolvermag.com/store" target="_blank">www.revolvermag.com/store</a>
    Obviously the thread links to that page, but how in the world does Google see that as mydomain.com/store? The rest of the 404 pages are basically the same thing, just to different URLs and Google sees them as mydomain.com/<some_page>

    Any thoughts or input on this? Thanks

    This is normal... Google can and will try nearly every url once it gets an idea of your site structure. As long as it is not a valid page, it SHOULD 404. It will eventually drop out of their index and from your reporting area.

    Oh ok, well that's good to hear. I've never seen Google do that before and thought I had something configured wrong. Thanks Brian!
