Hello, I've got 8 pages up on my SBI site and was checking traffic stats and found I have a "no such URL" page.

I guess I inadvertantly used capitol letters when adding the link but now I can't find its origin so I could correct it..

Is there any way to do this? I've gone through all my pages and can not spot it.

Thanks,
Heidi

Heidi, it could be someone mistyping a page to your site. For instance, if you tried to view a particular page yourself named try.html you would type in

www.domain.com/try.html but if you made a typo in the browser in any part of the page name, you would get the page not found

ty.html
try.htm
would both bring up errors like that.

Do check your links within the pages, and always check them by clicking when you preview the page before you build it.

Hope this helps,
Debs

Yeah, you must be right I have again gone over all my links within the pages and I can't find it, must just be an typing error, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks Debs!
