Navigation Issue with IDX

[Puyallup Agent]

Noticed that when I'm on a page and click the "idx snippet" navigation on the Featured community header snippet no long works.

For example I was on my graham.php page and clicked on the $200,000-$300,000 link. That function works fine and displays the homes on the same page.

But if I go to the featured header menu and choose another city I get a 404 with this url in the address bar.

Is this a bug or have I set something up incorrectly?

I've also noticed this while using the idx search and then trying to choose another city page.

It's because the HTML for the links needs to start with a "/"

So go into the snippets for all the navigation sections and change this code:

<a href="spanaway.php" title="Spanaway Real Estate">Spanaway</a>

to:

<a href="/spanaway.php" title="Spanaway Real Estate">Spanaway</a>

Then the links will work on the price range pages ..

Thank you,

Thanks for the quick reply Aaron! I'll check it out tonight.

Well that was an easy fix. Works like a charm. Thanks Aaron!

This is probably due to my linking error but want to double check something else isn't going on.
Google Webmaster Tools is reporting a bunch of non existent pages as "Not Found" on my site.
eg: http://www.brettsellshouses.com/idx/lacey.php

These pages shouldn't exist should they?

I've corrected all the links and resubmitted the site map the other day, but these just showed up today with a date of the 21st.

I checked the source of your site and it appears that the links are all correct now. What I've seen happen in the past is Google will sometimes use it's own cached pages to recrawl the site ( must be faster or something ) ... So if your cached IDX page has the broken links on it - then it could take some time for Google to re-index and update the cached page.

I don't believe it's that much of an issue to have 404 links - however - it may be a good idea, if you are concerned about it, to have us implement a redirect so that the links webmaster tools have will 301 redirect to the correct ones. It wouldn't take more than 15-30 mins programming to toss in that redirect ...

Thanks Aaron, I'll see how it shakes out tomorrow. If there's another load of errors I'll post the 301 request in the work orders.
