Hello Rick,

You're robots.txt is restricting Google from crawling your web site.

http://www.eveningsecrets.com/robots.txt

In your robots.txt, update:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /cleanStore/
Disallow: /lingeriev4/
Disallow: /testStore/
Disallow: /store/

To allow all robots to access your site:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Hi again,
actually it's only restricting those folders you see. I get an average of 180 pages crawled per day from different bots. I don't think the problem is there. The robots.txt file is only disregarding those folders in the list. It still crawls the scPcFolder, which is /lingerie/.
 
I have a page rank of 3 and am listed on page one on several keyword searches. Again, unless I am misunderstanding, the robots.txt file is working as expected.

Hello Rick,

You're right. Did you create sitemaps or back door pages with the 404 error links? Try searching your site files for the 404 links.

Thank you

Hi,  You could also go to Google and enter link:one-of-the-offending-urls

That should list the page(s) that link to the problem url's, if they were found by a googlebot.

Thanks again for the help folks!
I'm not sure I understand what you mean with that. I have not not done anything with the error links...they are just there Confused
 
If I check the link as mentioned in google I come up with no pages found; ie link:http://www.eveningsecrets.com/pc/Brazilian-Bikini-4p1732.htm
which is a page that one of the errors are linked from.
 
I have checked all my internal links that would relate to the product list and do not see anything odd. The storemap has all the correct links as well. I'll go through the site again, but it appears the link is being generated somewhere, as any of the pages that link to the offending URL's do not exist on my site.
 
Thanks.
Rick

I found one file in my root folder called index.html, which is not used. There was a link in there as follows:
Is it possible the bot crawled this link and continued through creating the links without the scPcFolder? It's the only thing left I can think of. I removed the page altogether and I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Hello Rick,

It seem very unlikely that google WMT would create and attempt to crawl links that do not exist. I'm pretty sure that there is a file or files that are/were referencing the non-existent URLs in your web site.

Bottom-line: The issue is not related to the default ProductCart system code. You may find further assistance through the google webmaster tools group:

Thank you

Hi TH,
no I didn't think it had anything to do with with the PC code, but was hoping this may have been obvious to someone. Everything was fine before I migrated over to a new server. I checked to make sure I was returning a 404 status code and everything appears to be setup as per the SEO instructions(PC WIKI).
 
I'll keep hunting for the file(s) and if I ever figure it out I'll let you know.
 
Thanks again for the help.

OK, just had to rehash this one more time. I finally got around to checking out what is gong on. It appears that any full URL, an absolute link, that I have in my pages shows corrrectly. If I use a relative link, such as in my header file for images, the link shows up bad. Does not associate the directories above it.
 
Has this to do with Parent Paths Enabled or Disabled? The server I am on has parent paths enabled and of course all the files I have for PC are PPE files. I attached another two images of some of the files that show as broken links.
 
 
 
 
Thanks in advance for any information.
