[enabled direct] Weblink field and Google crawler

Hi!

I´m using google webmaster tools and I found a lot of 404 errors on the crawl for the links generated by weblink lik this:

site_content/weblink/17/15139/1

Some of this links are correct 404, but not others. Do you think that the redirect weblink does is interfiering here? Can be this configured to simply be a direct link? What are the implications?

Regards

Hello

link to other websites ?
some are correct 404 as you say,
- but some maybe due to temporary outage in your website or in the target website, there is not reason that weblink field will be responsible for this

- the indirect link allows the process to go through a controller task that

a. count hits in weblink field, may hide until clicked

b. count hits in file field and also hide true locations

I see, that were also our possibilities. A third one would be that the Google crawler don´t like too many redirections.

Anyways, I saw that we can change the weblink to "use direct link"

Thanks!

Hello

there is only 1 redirection done by the weblink field, not multiple

you have 1 link + 1 redirection

I guessed that, but the problem could arrive later if there are more redirects, something on the lines of

flexi/weblink/11/11 -> www.google.es -> www.google.com

I can only guess the ways the google crawl works, so I´m simply going to use a direct link Thanks for your help!
