404 errors with URLs that have nothing to do with our service

Thanks, Michael, I was reluctant to do this as there are 1100 hits however I set it to advanced just long enough to do a screen shot. It doesn’t appear to show much additional information. The carb-cycling url has the most hits at 123 and I think it was only on 90’ish when I raised this ticket yesterday.

I have done a screenshot and tried to paste it into both this area and Sensitive Data but it won’t allow me to do that and I can’t see how I can upload it.

I did notice, after changing to Advanced, that there were only 88 URIs so the error log didn’t increase that much. I presumed it was going to display one line for each hit. None of the URI’s have any data in the Referrer column.

Many thanks
Jenny

Thanks, Todd. The issue I explained is that, even when I have changed to Advanced, we are not seeing the referrer. I am pretty certain these are all negative SEO links and need to deal with them. My question is “what to I do with them”? I would like to find the referrer but RM is not providing this information.

I also asked how I should upload a screenshot to show you what I am seeing.

Thanks, Todd. They are definitely negative SEO backlinks so we will disavow them though how can we do that when RM isn’t telling us who the referrer is? As previously stated, a carb-cycling url has the most hits at 123. There are others that relate to parts of the male anatomy that I won’t mention here.

For future reference can you please advise how to upload a screenshot.

Thanks, Michael. As previously stated, we are pretty sure, given the types of URLs and the number of hits for each URL, these are not bots. Here is the link to a screenshot.
