    When I view stats in AWStats, I am seeing a lot of 404 errors on my site financenewstoday.com with no referers, so I don't know what to do to fix them or what is causing the errors. Any suggestions on how to find what is causing these so I can fix them?

    Because people type the url's that don't exist..
    I think you don't know what a 404 page is ;)

    Suggestions:
    - look at the log file and search for these URL's;
    - create an extra section that shows the user-agent of the visitors hitting these URL's;
    - create an extra section that shows the IP address of the visitors hitting these URL's.

    If you are on a cPanel host, login to your cPanel and look for the Error Log. Each of your 404's will be listed there, and it should tell you in each line exactly what file was not found.
