johnmoore84 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi, when I go to BO - STATS - VISITORS ONLINE, i get alot of 404.php for the current page. From understanding this happens when a customers tried to visit a page where the link is broke so they cant visit the page or the page does not exsist. Now the problem is I cant find any broken links and another reason i question this is some times they come from another site of mine where I have a banner so I no this link is working etc. Any ideas or am I not understanding this correctly. Any help much appriated, this didnt use to happen but seems to happen quite alot now everytime I look. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrasespot Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Having 404s in your server log does not necessarily means broken links. It may just be a poorly written bot parsing links badly, or a auto generated blog etc may have bad links. Many other possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhnstcks Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Products that do not exist anymore or are disabled will also generate a 404.php page request, and as google stores your pages for ages even though the product page has gone means people can still access your site from that link.
