Link Checker script working on some websites and doesn´t working on some

[Marián Hlinka]

Hello,

I implemented Link Checker script from Adwords to accounts of my clients.

What I noticed is that it works great on some websites and on other not.

Are there any tech. speficications website has to meet?

If website adds 404 into URL, script works fine, but if 404 error is only written in page text, it doesn´t work.

What are your experiences?

Hi Marián,

There are no technical specifications pertaining to this script but please make sure that you are following the setup steps outlined on our documentation.  Also, make sure that you are using the correct version of the solution.  We have an individual AdWordsApp version along with a MCC version.  

As for the 404 issue that you described, the code looks for the response code on the page.  So if the page returns a 404 response code, it should appear in the spreadsheet. 

Thanks,

Thank you Tyler

what are ways page can return 404 response code?
If the code doesn´t appear in URL of nonexisting page, will the link checker recognize it some other way?

Thank you

Hi Marián,

This would start to be out of scope of this forum as it is not AdWords Scripts related.  But in order to find out the response code in Chrome that gets returned you could:

1. Go to the webpage that is in question in your browser

2. Go to Tools -> Developer Tools

3. Click on the Network tab

4. Filter for the page url (i.e. index.html)

5. Click on the Headers tab

6. Status Code field returns the response code of the page
