    Search engines: moved post & 404 errors

When using search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckgo, etc.) it would help if you would let us know about search results which return 404 errors.


Just post the bad smpub.com URL in this thread (or email us with the URL. Make the subject 404 error).

If you will do this we can get the search engines to correct their results.

Thanks in advance.

As of today, we have identified 959 search engines results returning/linking to a 404 page not found at the SSF. It continues to be mostly MS Bing.

As of today, we have identified 1030 search engines results returning/linking to a 404 page not found at the SSF.

Since 05-02-2015 all of the 1030 search engine results connecting to a "404 not found page" have been discovered by combing through the server logs.

What this means is 1030 pages that couldn't be found can now be found.

Because of you and the others that proactively post, I am happy to do what I can to try & draw in the many thousand daily lurkers who find their way here from search engines. The fewer times they get a "404 not found" message, the better our chances to have them join in.

Right now the pace of discovery is slowing for 404 errors in the logs. Only one or two per day - although most of the big search are included, it is Ms Bing that appears most often

As of today, we have identified 2088 search engines results returning/linking to a 404 page not found at the SSF. And they now have been redirected to the proper page.

Today was the first time that there was not a search engine "not found" condition.

To date the total found and corrected is 2106.
