Google Webmaster Tools Showing 404 Error Source

All I can say is it is about time Google included this information. I always thought it was such a pain for Google to report 404 or crawl errors and not tell you what the source was. I would often spent hours looking for references to clean my list.

My biggest shocker is the amount of links I have pointing to my pages with session IDs included. Are Webmasters really this stupid? I guess so.

Log into your account and check if you have any errors…and you’ll see a nice link with the pages linking to that dead page.

  1. I was stunned when i read this in your newsletter, so popped into WMT, and sure enough, there they were!

    Funny, not four or five hours earlier I was looking at a site with a lot of 404 errors in WMT and the info wasn’t there, and I thought to myself, “WHEN are they going to add this?”

    As always, your monthly newsletter was the first place I saw, read or heard about it, and you even beat any of the people I follow on Twitter.

    Thanks again, Jerry
