For a while now my blog hasn't been getting indexed by Google, although the rest of my site indexes fine. After some investigation I discovered that I have some 'broken' links by using a broken link checker. I found this odd as when I click on the 'broken links' I don't get any 404 messages and everything seems fine. My knowledge is patchy around this so forgive me. My question is how do I fix these links? And why/how are they broken if the pages display fine when I click on them? I'm stumped as to where to begin (and that's after some exhaustive Googling!) The broken links are; http://thackeraycopywriting.com/category/blog/ http://thackeraycopywriting.com/2013/10/16/how-the-art-of-writing-copy-and-using-creative-content-can-transform-your-online-business-and-improve-your-page-rank/ http://thackeraycopywriting.com/2013/10/01/innovation-in-web-design-what-is-a-copywriters-role/ Plus a few more - basically all of my blog entries or anything pertaining to my blog is 'broken' and the checker says they get a 404 response from the server. Even though when I navigate to them all seems well! Very confused.
everything works fine from here without any errors, http://thackeraycopywriting.com/category/blog/ fine http://thackeraycopywriting.com/201...r-online-business-and-improve-your-page-rank/ fine and your sitemap http://thackeraycopywriting.com/sitemap.xml is fine too i thing you might need help from google webmaster team dude
For me too everything is working fine... Your website use a Redirect from wordpress.com to your domain name ! so this issue is just an error from the Broken links checker... never mind about it. Concerning the google index you have to check your sitemap on google webmasters tools.. check in google.com search : site:thackeraycopywriting.com this will give you what pages are indexed by google... Goodluck
I would definitely say that it has nothing to do with the function of the links. You are just simply not indexed yet. Several ways to take care of that.
it happens to me lot of times. i didn't get to the source of problem, but i think one reason should be while we are posting and wordpress automatically save or draft the post, that leave a link somewhere in database which google can see.that maybe the problem. Btw, i usually solve it using 404 Redirection plugin, which redirect all the 404 error page link to the homepage.
