Hi darksoul, that first error appears to be fixed now. For some reason your domain was not resolving for our server.

I just looked into that second trade you linked. The problem here is that all of your "Bookmark" links have no closing tag on the anchor or even the <td>. Here is a copy & paste of what I mean:

Code: Select all

<tr>
<td><a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.url-removed.com/
','Goth Fetish and Teen TGP Galleries ')"><img SRC="bookmark.gif" height=56 widt
h=760 border=0>
</tr>
It should be like this:

Code: Select all

<tr>
<td><a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.url-removed.com/','Goth Fetish and Teen TGP Galleries ')"><img SRC="bookmark.gif" height=56 width=760 border=0></a></td>
</tr>

It still doesn't work even though I fixed the javascript thingie.
I don't quite understand why it worked when I setup the trade though.

Not confused at all. That error is fixed and shouldn't affect your spider.
On top of that I have several trades through linkspun with this site and the others don't have a problem.

You must be confused man. Your HTML errors are absolutely affecting the spider and there is an obvious explanation as to why some links on the page work and others don't.

If you fix your bookmark code by adding the proper </a> closing tag, the spider will work.

Darksoul the issue is that you have open a tags all over the site (them bookmark codes). In the bookmark code posted above by Drocd is a <a href code that NEVER closes. SO the spider scours the page looking for the end of that a tag, which it finds on the next link, which happens to be the link in question.

What is important to understand is its not only our spider that does that, I suspect most will. Browsers are 'user friendly' so they fix that code and close it cause the table closes, most automatic spiders will not.

This isn't just an issue for the spider here, this is an issue for the traders, and yourself as well. It's nothing to add </a> to that bookmark code, and that settle the issue.

Is that what is happening on my trades here?

2 of these were fine before, the other one doesn't want to find the new link.

http://linkspun.com/trade_view.php?tradeID=5466
http://linkspun.com/trade_view.php?tradeID=5075

This one won't find the link, and it's clearly there.

http://linkspun.com/trade_view.php?tradeID=6004

HELP :?:

:D

Did you recently make a DNS/IP change or something?

The only html returned by your server to our link check bot is:

Code: Select all

<html>Apache is functioning normally</html>

Not as far as I know, if it was changed I wouldn't know because them 2 domains are on shared hosts. But they are both on different IPs and 2 different hosts. Unless both hosts changed them which I would doubt.

Just noticed today that all 8 of the trades on them 2 domains are now in "link errors"

Not sure why :?

I'm on this right now, should be resolved this morning.

There is a bunch of domains/sites that the spider is not finding, and amerinoc is fixing whatever dns issues their are, I just need to give them the list, which I'm working on.

Just added your 2 to the list. Should be up anytime.

Should be all good now, there was some conflict with domains that had been hosted here I guess and the dns was pointing them to their old place at this host.

Amerinoc got right on it quick today and has been real good working with us to iron out the details.

Sorry for any of the inconvenience this may have caused, once its completely worked out we won't have the issues appear anymore.

I checked links on that one and it went to Links Found and moved to active, there is probably a few still that are showing errors as they are in que to be spidered still. I tried to get most of them tonite.

As these bugs are fixed and our dns issue is sorted, I'm going to lock this and let it fall.
