I’m seeing an uncommon variety of complaints across the reported 404 errors inside Google Search Console reporting. That is particular to your URLs having /1000 appended to the tip of the URL. Google is conscious of the problem and is telling us to disregard them because the hyperlinks go to 404 pages.
I used to be in a position to replicate it for this web site, you may see, Google is exhibiting 404 error experiences for URLs that don’t exist on the positioning, so it’s correct. However many of those URLs finish in /1000 and tons of SEOs and web site homeowners are asking – what’s up with these /1000s.
Here’s what I see:
Google’s John Mueller replied to this challenge saying “No have to disavow; it is most likely simply random spam.” He additionally replied on LinkedIn saying, “You may ignore them. 404s are superb.” Google has mentioned 404s are superb prior to now and that hyperlinks pointing to 404 pages don’t depend anyway.
I noticed the complaints within the feedback right here and there are complaints about this on Reddit, LinkedIn and several other on X.
Who else obtained GSC notifications about 404 errors, the place the URLs finish like “/1000”? I noticed a number of instances over a number of domains over the weekend. One other SPAM challenge by Google or simply merciless requests?#search engine optimisation #1000 #google #404 #gsc pic.twitter.com/jxPPYtGIV2

Once I checked among the referring pages that hyperlink to my /1000 URLs that 404, they’re principally redirects that result in porn and malware websites.
