: Webmaster tools 500 crawl error for asp faceted navigation that does not exist I am getting around 2,500 type 500 URL errors in Google webmaster tools. These pages are faceted navigation results

Posted in: #AspNet #GoogleSearchConsole #HttpCode500 #Seo #WebCrawlers

I am getting around 2,500 type 500 URL errors in Google webmaster tools. These pages are faceted navigation results that can not be reached by a site visitor. These pages do not exist. We are using faceted navigation with the Volusion platform (asp.net, I think).

I have specified URL parameters in webmaster tools so that Google will not try to index anything faceted. This does not stop the errors from generating.

I am concerned about how this might effect SEO (bleeding page rank).

I can provide additional information if needed. I am not sure how to solve this. I have started down the path of creating 301's, but having some difficulty there as well.

Have you tried adding the paths to your Robots.txt so that GoogleBot and others don't attempt to crawl them?

I've noticed that GoogleBot in particular is very "good" at finding what it thinks are paths and links in script string literals and attempting to follow them - which can lead to exactly this sort of behaviour.

If there's nothing legitimate about them as paths, tell the bots that.
