Google is somehow going to those pages from somewhere...

Edit: Spidering your main page doesn't give those kind of links... Hmm.

On a side note - what happens to the pages from your idx when the pages are sold, terminated, expired or withdrawn? Are they archived somewhere?

Not going to share?

Site's I've monitored get large number of dodgy hits for pages that seem plausible but don't have - from bots phishing for content, email addresses or login pages.

Google doesn't do that.

Google will, however, check to see that you are processing 404s properly by requesting a page you won't have.

That doesn't explain 5742 though

I didn't share because it was specific to something Logan is having us do and I didn't want to discuss his project in public unless of course it was ok with him, he knows what's up now

Logan - did you fix the URL not found on your press release thing? I checked it again and it wasn't working. You better get on that son.
