I'm using a WordPress site and I thought I got all the kinks out of it. For some reason Webmaster Tools is crawling my website and showing a lot of 404 errors which are from /_ like additional pages that I've never created. I just can't figure out what is creating these for Google crawlers and then displaying a 404.

My robots.txt is here.

My sitemap (created by the Yoast plugin) is here.

I have Yoast and Jetpack plugins installed. What could be causing these links to appear

It is your blue 'want to advertise' banner at the top of every page.

It is linking to a 404 on every page as the link is defined as a relative URL linking to the page with an under score and hash tag appended.

<a href="_#"

So the banner links to a 404 page on every page it appears on.

e.g

on www.redcherryshrimp.net/ the banner links to www.redcherryshrimp.net/_
This is the view of the offending link in the source code:

<div class="textwidget"><a href="_#"> <img src="http://www.RedCherryShrimp.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/728x90-Top-Banner-Ad.png"></img></a></div>
