Does anybody know why Google has just tried to crawl and got 404 for 2800 pages of my site and all of them are not seo names but just …product_2921, product_2922 etc etc, see screenshot.
These just seem to have appeared I havent changed my products from seo or anything.
Thanks
John
That's the SEO name that CS assigns a product if SEO is enabled and there is no product name and the product is active.

Strange,
All my products have names except 1 (as I only just discovered) do you think it could be anything else. I exported all products too and the are all there with names. I checked in the database and cant find them either. It was at least 8 months ago that I deleted a mass of products, and they were crawled and 404 back then and gradually dropped off the Google not found page over time, do you think it could be the same ones appearing again?

The number is the product id so go to phpMyAdmin and look under cscart_products and see if those id's actually exist. While you are there, look under cscart_seo_names and look for those names.
If they do not exist then you will just have to let Google run its course. More than likely, they existed at one point and now do not since they are 404.
Yeah did that and no sign of any of them. I am wondering where Google got them from if it was crawled back when I first activated the seo like a year ago or what? and then it has tried to look for them again so long after.
Thanks for input The Tool.
