differentiate between link not found and page not found
if a page is not found due to a server being down or the spider not being able to access it for some reason (my current predicament), that would usually indicate a temporary technical difficulty, whereas the link simply not being found on the page is more likely to indicate a different intent.

Yep this is a good idea, and we've been talking about 'defining' link errors for a while, when we do get it live, it will also email/alert you if your domains drop, or hosting is suspended.AmateurFlix wrote:if a page is not found due to a server being down or the spider not being able to access it for some reason (my current predicament), that would usually indicate a temporary technical difficulty, whereas the link simply not being found on the page is more likely to indicate a different intent.
We just need to teach the spider what each results looks like and behaves like, get some key things to compare/look for in each instance and go with it.
