: Google webmasters 404 for a URL path starting with /facebook.com/ We've been having some problems with Google Webmasters Tools lately. Google's returning 404 on some of our articles. Can you anyone

There are likely two problems on your site.


You are incorrectly linking to facebook from your article.

Your link is facebook.com/thetunistimes
But should be facebook.com/thetunistimes (include the )
PHP is putting session ids on your links (which is very bad for SEO). Here are some instructions from removing them: www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=447402.0


Put below two lines in your .htaccess file


php_value session.use_only_cookies 1
php_value session.use_trans_sid


And then put a rule in to strip session ids off of URLs with 301 redirects.
