Sh17ty Maintenance IV
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
-
I checked Google’s Webmaster Tools and saw a lot of 404 errors dealing with */Unknown
-
I don’t know what’s going on or why Google wants to add /Unknown to every link it finds. So I’m going to leave it alone for now.
-
-
I have my 404 error page set up to email me whenever it gets hit and there’s always tons of favicon.ico errors so I finally figured out the solution.
-
In my headers.php file I changed
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico” >
to
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.thesh17.com/favicon.ico” > -
Pretty easy fix. I was almost tempted to create a .htaccess rule to redirect all favicon.ico requests to that file until I realized it was my fault for not using an absolute path.
-
-
There’s a lot of 404 errors that look like this : “http://www.thesh17.com/wp/2007/04/17/hot-fuzz-from-the-people-who-made-shaun-of-the-dead/feed:http://www.thesh17.com/comments/feed/“
-
I don’t know how to fix this really. It only showed up recently so I’m hoping it’s just someone’s broken browser. As far As I can tell all links to comment feeds are correct and working.
-
-
The following pages were reported as not being reachable but work fine now.
-
There’s 272 urls being restricted by the robots.txt file and it cut my supplementary indexed pages down a lot. There’s 283 pages indexed by Google now.
-
Disabled the Shoutbox on the sidebar.
-
Removed the tag and category pages from the sitemap.xml file since they were being blocked by robots.txt anyway.
-
Disabled the Text Link Ads plugin.
-
Removed the Vizu Poll in the sidebar.
There’s some other things I did too, but I was bored and felt like listing these.
