New Message Center notifications for detecting an increase in Crawl Errors
Posted: 26 Jul 2010 02:58 PM PDT
Webmaster Level: All (Credits from Google Webmaster Blog)
When Googlebot crawls your site, it’s expected that most URLs will return a 200 response code, some a 404 response, some will be disallowed by robots.txt, etc. Whenever we’re unable to reach your content, we show this information in the Crawl errors section of Webmaster Tools (even though it might be intentional and not actually an error). Continuing with our effort to provide useful and actionable information to webmasters, we’re now sending SiteNotice messages when we detect a significant increase in the number of crawl errors impacting a specific site. These notifications are meant to alert you of potential crawl-related issues and provide a sample set of URLs for diagnosing and fixing them.
A SiteNotice for a spike in the number of unreachable URLs, for example, will look like this:

We hope you find SiteNotices helpful for discovering and dealing with issues that, if left unattended, could negatively affect your crawl coverage. You’ll only receive these notifications if you’ve verified your site in Webmaster Tools and we detect significant changes to the number of crawl errors we encounter on your site. And if you don’t want to miss out on any these important messages, you can use the email forwarding feature to receive these alerts in your inbox.
If you have any questions, please post them in our Webmaster Help Forum or leave your comments below.

The Hudosn Hotel (Hell) in NYC – DONT STAY at this Hotel!
Posted by Garry in Uncategorized on July 14th, 2010
One of the worst experiences I have encountered. We had reservations 2 months in advance, yet it took over 2.5 hours to check in. They didn’t get us the correct room. After waiting for them to finally get us a room, we found that the phone didn’t work in the living room area. We also found that both TV sets were not working. I used the bedroom phone to call at least 5 times to the front desk for assistance before they answered on the 5th call. After finally getting through, nothing ever got fixed. Oh and if you want something to eat, their are only 3 things on the menu. So we ordered 2 hamburgers and a roasted chicken salad that came to $106.00. I was worth about $10.00 at the most. They couldn’t even get the burgers correct. Salad greens were old and the sprouts for the burger were old, soggy and brown. Keep clear of staying here, never again!
