Why i Had Crawl Error on my link?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by DesmondChui, Oct 22, 2010.

    Recently I just did one SEO on this website.
    www.YesIcan(.)com

    but i do a crawl error search from a website



    they say error crawl

    There was an error fetching this page.
    We received a HTTP status code of 404. This means that the page entered/linked to was not found on the server. Please contact the owner of the site you are trying to call and have them update the links (they're spilling valuable link juice!)

    Any idea, where I go wrong? even i had do the nice tag?
    Please assist me here
    Thanks

    Hello, what do you mean you did an SEO?
    Do you mean you left a link to the site somewhere? If that is what you mean, the site is not visible from the root so you need to change the link to the filepath, or change the filepath to reflect the link.
    Are you aware that there is nothing visible from the root directory?
    What is running on your server, php?

    It can make a difference, but the issue is that it is not in your root directory. is there a reason it is not in the root?
    I would try moving it to the root unless there is some reason you can't do that.

    Thanks for the correct link.
    The probable cause of a crawl error is the homepage being flash. You need to build a version of the homepage for browsers that don't have flash, and search engines.

    But we had put some text and meta tag in the flash, don't you think it work?
    check the top, it is a text instead of flash, do this technique work?

    So which mean Flash webpage, it is nothing can do for SEO?
    nothing can be improve?

    So your webpage is displaying differently in different browsers.
    What you want is for only the flash to show or alternatively the html not both.
    This isn't something that I have experience with, I have only done websites with a flash header or minor content.
    http://www.hochmanconsultants.com/articles/seo-friendly-flash.shtml
    this article is worth having a look at it talks through flash accessibility programming. The main thing is that the html content reflects the flash content, so include links in your html or the spiders will not see what is behind..

    I think you should check on Google Webmaster Tools. If not registered register now. It is easy to register also it will help in your SEO also

    Most importantly what it means is that this thread belongs somewhere else, as it is not about link development. You might get better help if it is in the right place.
    Like I say I have not done this, but the documentation I forwarded in my last mail goes into examples and google's documentation includes examples of alternative content being used. I recommend reading them, and using the examples contained therein.

    I just checked on google.co.uk and google.com.my and the index page is above the sub page when the domain searched on. when searching for keywords the subpages have content on them and links to other parts of the site, however the main index alternative text has no links and therefore ranks lower because it is not as relevant to the search as the subpages with content. You can change this by altering the index alternative text to reflect the homepage flash content with links to the content pages. This will also help people who do not have flash to navigate the site.
    I do not believe there is any error in the cache.

    hyperlinking will help.
    If the alternative reflects the page it will probably help. the internal pages are performing the way they do most likely because they have more content that the text on the homepage.
    You have four options
    1 do nothing
    2 add hyperlinks
    3 add content
    4 add hyperlinks and content
    If you choose 4 then you will never know what works and what doesn't, just that the combination of the two work, but without more content it is unlikely that the three or four sentences will ever rank above the internal pages where there are many paragraphs of relevant text.
