Dead Links...

[ursulab2]

I have just ran a program on my site and it has found 2200 dead links. I am in the process of checking them and sure enough some of them are dead links. Is there a way of figuring out why I'm getting these dead links?

 

For instance: http://www.giftsbyursula.com/product_info....298/language/en

 

If you go to this link and click on "Notify me of updates to "I Love You" Bear Gift Set" it's a dead link.

 

However, if you go to http://www.giftsbyursula.com/product_info....products_id/298 (which is where this product is accessed from my main pages) and click on the "notify me of updates" the link is fine.

 

This is the same thing on many many of my dead links. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these?

 

Thanks a ton!

Broken link/addy:

 

http://www.giftsbyursula.com/en/name/&quot...n/action/notify

 

 

Working link/addy:

 

http://www.giftsbyursula.com/product_info....8/action/notify

 

check the coding for each link to see how the addys are built.

Thanks for your reply. How would I check to see how they are built? Any suggestions on the easiest way to do that?

 

Thanks again,

i think the broken link is dynamically built from the page on which it appears:

 

http://www.giftsbyursula.com/product_info....298/language/en

 

where would this link be accessed on your site?

[ursulab2]

no where... That's the wierd thing... If you just go to my main domain name and look at the same product you don't get any dead links. These are just dead links that XENU has pulled out of mid air. I have no idea where they are coming from.

 

Got another question. I installed a module called shop_by_price. When you go to http://www.giftsbyursula.com/shop_by_price.php you get this error:

 

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

 

Any thoughts on this one either?

 

Thanks again.

It looks to me like you added something that attempts to put the name of the product in the URL. The reason it breaks is becaues the name of the product contains double quotes.

I see what you are saying. The only thing that i have done is to turn on the search engine friendly URLs. Could this be the program?
