I have some problems with google. I upload my sitemap to google webmaster and I have a lot of 404 errors like this.

http://npsglobal.org/eng/index.php/analysis-mainmenu-29/articles-by-geo-profile/geo-profiles/136-world/325-financial-crisis-a-challenge-to-global-security-/analysis-mainmenu-29/articles-by-geo-profile/geo-profiles

But this is not a page or a link, the right string to the article is:

http://npsglobal.org/eng/index.php/analysis-mainmenu-29/articles-by-geo-profile/geo-profiles/136-world/325-financial-crisis-a-challenge-to-global-security-

Does anyone know how can I solve it?

Did you change any SEF settings? Did you alter any menu items?

Does anyone know how can I solve it?

Never upload a sitemap to google especially when your site generates dynamic URLS. Let Google index and map the site itself and then Google will correct itself when it re-indexes.

*This is NOT a professional opinion 😀

I’m sure mj1254 (or is it 56:p I can never remember) will have better advice when he sees the thread.

Where are you seeing the 404 are you using sh404sef or are these on your sitemap?

I think what he is saying is the URL showing in google search results is going to a 404 error.

Eg. If google indexed the site a week ago and then you changed one character of a parent menu item – every link under that parent menu item will now have a different URL. Likewise if you alter a setting in sh404 or change a Rewrite rule it can alter several of your URLs. Google will still have it’s indexed URL but that will now show a 404.

It happened to Chris (questbg) last week when he accidentally swapped an old menu for a live one and all of a sudden all googles links were wrong.

yes but in sh404sef you can tell the 404 url to go to the correct one via your Alias list and hey presto no more 404

I’ve never used sh404 so I ain’t too familiar with it. If he has changed a sef setting it could mean every page indexed by google (could be thousands) now goes to a 404. :-[

So the next question is How long does Google and other search engines keep the old/not in use link in their system?

Do they ever delete them?

Thank all for your help.

but the problem is this

I send the sitemap to google and it shows a lot of 404 error. This error are not pages or links on mi site and do not appear in the sitemap.

The 404 error looks like this:

http://npsglobal.org/esp/index.php/analisis/articulos-por-perfil-geografico/perfiles-geograficos/106-america-latina-y-caribe/529-el-tratado-de-tlatelolco-40-miguel-marin-bosch/analisis/articulos-por-perfil-geografico/perfiles-geograficos

this is not a page or link in mi site. The real page is:

http://npsglobal.org/esp/index.php/analisis/articulos-por-perfil-geografico/perfiles-geograficos/106-america-latina-y-caribe/529-el-tratado-de-tlatelolco-40-miguel-marin-bosch

There is a part of the string that is repeated twice, in the middle and at the end. (analisis/articulos-por-perfil-geografico/perfiles-geograficos)

for some reason when joomla made the source code of the page, create this strange string, that google shows like an error.

I need some assistance.

Do you use sh404sef?

If you do you can send http://npsglobal.org/esp/index.php/a…es-geograficos to your alias section and when pressed it will open in http://npsglobal.org/esp/index.php/a…el-marin-bosch and not show as a 404.

Is the 404 link a page you used to have, which has been deleted?

mfcphil,

“Do you use sh404sef?”
I am not using it, do you think i sould? If I install it now, it changes all the url of my site? What happen with the internal links ? Do I loose them when the url change?

“Is the 404 link a page you used to have, which has been deleted? “
no, the are not pages in my site.
is the string of my pages ( the right ones) but with some added at the end. It repeits a part of the string at the and.

Thank
