Google Webmaster "extlink"

[danst0]

Hi,

I was wondering why google webmaster tools are reporting several crawling errors on my site. Always due to links like this: mydomain.com/extlink/creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/

Where does this come from? And how can I / should I prevent it?

Not sure w/out an actual URL to your live site, but looks like the Creative Commons sidebar plugin. Maybe you're linking to a license which has been moved or the link should have rel="nofollow". Also, I'm not really an expert on this, but it's definitely got something to do w/that particular plugin.

Sounds like GA plugin,but normally extlink is only a part of some JS. But as yellowled wrote, without link, we cannot help.

Hi,

I attached a screenshot to the Google error messages. The blog is at: scrmblog.com

I just cant figure how google even sees these "extlink" links, since there does not seem to be anything in the code.

Where does the "Verlinkt von"-link point to?

Ups, didn't see it. Big picture and board didn't converted it to a link....

This extlink comes from the GA extension. But I don't know, why it shows up in the webmaster tools, because the link exists only in JS and it's the correct JS code from Google.

@onli The first error message's "verlinkt von" points to: http://scrmblog.com/pages/links.html

And the problem remains? On the page, extlink is only part of the onclick-handler of the links inserted by the tracking-plugin. If those links work for you, it probably is an error of the google-crawler.

Ich habe /extlink/ mittels der robots.txt gesperrt. Somit können sie keine Fehler mehr machen.
