: 404 crawl error for mailto:info@mydoamin.co.uk in Google Webmaster Tools I'm getting a 404 crawl error for mailto:info@mydoamin.co.uk, in Google webmaster tools under the health > crawl errors. Surly

I'm getting a 404 crawl error for mailto:info@mydoamin.co.uk, in Google webmaster tools under the health > crawl errors.

Surly Google should see that mailto: is related to an email not a webpage..

The HTML I'm using for the mailto on my page is <a href="mailto:mailto:info@mydoamin.co.uk">info@mydoamin.co.uk</a>

What's the best way to resolve this? Is mailto still widely used or is there a newer alternative ?

: Is an image of a stripe considered copyrighted? I have an image that I found on another site. It's just a one pixle wide stripe, and I'm wondering if it's protected by copyright.

You have two mailto: strings in that href.

Google may well be using a regex that doesn't match a colon after the first one before the @ . I don't know what Google are doing, but whatever they are doing it's not working with that href. Normal clients may have troubles with it as well.
