404 error in google webmaster

[carsangrah123]

I have created an used car website www.carsangrah.com. All links are working fine, But still google webmaster tool shows 404 error in some links and does not crawl them. http://www.brokenlinkcheck.com/ also shows same 404 error, But links are working properly. Please suggest the solution.
Thanks.

Empty categories.

Osclass form some reason, shows a HEADER of 404. Not a page, an HTTP HEADER.

Try this:


Locate your 'search.php' file located here:
/oc-includes/osclass/controller/search.php

Find this line of code:
                if( count($aItems) === 0 ) {

And replace it with this line of code...
                if( count($aItems) === -1 ) {

Try this:

Checked some pages of yours with

http://web-sniffer.net/

and seem to work ok.

No errors or 404.

Thanks. Some of the links are working with no 404 error. But some links like http://www.carsangrah.com/buy-used-cars_haryana-r781502 are giving 404 in web-sniffer while this is working fine.

If not a 404, which other response should be? is it ok for google to have several urls with the same content (no results) ?

Thanks

I thought of a replacement code, but turned out this is not so easy. The best candidate could be 204:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#2xx_Success

but then again, I am not an expert on this and might be wrong here. Because, page sure exist, but the items not (empty), so 404 is deffinitevely a wrong choice here.

did any one find a solution......56k pages are showing 404 error and page exits with no results

It seems like we have to go the old fashion way, that means create ads for each category and subcategory and fill it with keywords that way google will index...

you can use 301 redirect for avoid 404 errors or not found pages. it is good work for SEO point of view.

And i think you are a clever spammer.
