Do you mean the server is returning a 404 to your browser, but the logs say it returns 200 to googlebot?

tedster: Sorry I didn't see your response since I don't get email notification even when I check it. What I am seeing is /category/30/30/widget.html in the server log for the Googlebot with a 200 code. This URL does not exist in my code or can I make it produce it. I may have solved the problem with a more educated pagination after digging deeper into MySQL. My links are now like 1¦2¦3¦ showing page numbers like Google rather than result ranges as before. Larry Ullman's book clarified some things for me now to wait and see how G likes it.

You probably have another issue as well, if those pages are returning a 200 then your server is probably returning a _custom error page_ for pages that don't exist without returning the proper header response. That _could_ be (and likely is) a major problem for your site.

It looks like the bot loaded 38657. Are you thinking that could be the custom error page?

It sure looks like it could be one, now the question would be where does it come from your content management system or via the server configuration.
