On Google Webmaster tools I get 29 404 errors.

Most of the urls listed don't exist anymore. I know I created the problem by renaming some pages when I first got my site. For example: http://www.emeraldcoastrealestatesea...iew.php?page=4

There are other 404 errors for urls that don't make sense to me. For example,
http://www.emeraldcoastrealestatesea...500000-600000/

I think there are a lot more because the list changes from update to update. Google seems to give up when they find 25-30 because thats the range they always report.

How do I fix these?

Hi Tim,

The first one - we could do some 301 redirects - to the new pages - to stop them from 404'ing ...

The second issue seems to be a bug in the pagination code - I've seen this issue before - so I'll get that fixed up tomorrow. We can also put redirects in place so the 404 errors from those links are corrected.

Thanks.

Do I need to put in a work order for anything?

Hi Tim,

For the first one - yes - you'll either need to get the 301 redirect module ( listed here http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...ms-modules.php - it's the last item on the page ) ...

Or request that we manually set up some 301 redirects providing us with the old and new filenames to do the redirects.

I've taken care of the second issue so it won't happen anymore.

For the second

Fixed.

Aaron,

The bug in the pagination code that you mentioned above still doesn't seem to be fixed.

Google reported 214 such errors in the past 3 days.

Does this affect the way that google views my site?

Please tell me what I need to do.

I sent the report in an excel file to support@realestatewebmasters.com

In addition to the above post, I have a few more questions:

1. What was the date that the pagination errors were fixed? As stated above, google identified dozens more, I think, on July 26 and July 27. From your post above, it appears that you may have fixed the issue on July 22 or 23. Does the fact that more errors were identified mean the problem isn't fixed or is there some sort of delay in googles reporting of errors?

2. I'm assuming that the pagination errors are the ones that have goofy price ranges in the urls. Is that correct? That is, pages that look like these

/destin-homes-for-sale/?page=-1100000-200000/
/destin-homes-for-sale/?page=-1200000-300000/
/destin-homes-for-sale/?page=-1300000-400000/
/destin-homes-for-sale/?page=-1400000-500000/


3. The 301 redirect module was installed today. If I have some errors that look like this:

/bluewater-bay.php?page=4
/bluewater-bay.php?page=6
/bluewater-bay/500000-600000/
/bluewater-bay/600000-700000/
/bluewater-bay/800000-900000/

and the correct page name is /bluewater-bay-homes-for-sale.php

do i just do ONE redirect that looks like /bluewater-bay.php to /bluewater-bay-homes-for-sale.php to resolve the issues on similar named pages or do I have to do a redirect for every price snippet pages individually?

If I need to submit a work order to get some help or this isn't the proper forum please let me know. I just want to quit seeing these errors.

Hi Tim,

Sorry for the delay.

1) I fixed it on the 22nd.
2) I'm trying to do a redirect now.
3) Yes - you will need to enter each one.

Hey, Tim,
I've fixed the "No listings found" problem when you land on a page from Google. The issue was that your snippet has:

PHP Code:

$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'condomimiums'; 


instead of:

PHP Code:

$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'condominiums'; 


I've made it work for 'condomimiums' as well, so you don't have to fix all your snippets.

Thank you Aaron and Thank you Andy.
