I'm getting problems with crawling my site in Google Webmasters Tools. I'm seeing weird URLs that end with my domain, like:

/tag/sugar/www.k2ost.com

/tag/melody-day/www.k2ost.com

and also like this:

/tag/.../www.mydomainname.com

/post/.../www.mydomainname.com

That of course will result in a 404 error code.

I've been searching for a question on this site that has the same problem as mine, and user sidh states that it was a URL masking problem here.

So I want to completely restart my WordPress site, but I want to use my current domain. Can I do that?

I've already read this related question, but it's for creating the same site on a different domain. Can I restart my WordPress site using the same domain?

This seems like a plugin gone wrong issue. I would use something like Xenu's Link Sleuth
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu%27s_Link_Sleuth
and take a base line look at your site. Then disable all plugins and crawl again. If the offending links are in the base line but not in the results without plugins then one of your plugins is definitely causing problems. If none are found then it's possible that these malformed URLs are being introduced by site maps or RSS feeds and those should be checked too. Also consider flushing your cached Wordpress rewrite rules and inspecting them to ensure that they are correct.
