Question Anyone else noticing this on their google webmaster tools?

I have been getting about 5 links a day that google is reporting as 404. All the links take the format.

(correct working url)+&usg=IGOFKGK^E^&&heh388ee87d

So for example http://www.mysite.com/subdivision.ph...3k39d843dj4874

I see one other person on the webmaster tools forum having a similar problem, but google has provided no response as yet.

Anyone have any idea what the deal is?

Thanks
Joe

Joe,

I typically get 404's from broken virtual tours urls that are uploaded from the IDX Feed. Are your 404's on IDX pages?

Hey John,
Nope. They look really weird. Like valid URLs and then that "&usg=" windows type GUID.
