bot messing names up

...and getting 404s. will my listing be affected?

[bull]

216.239.46.82 - - [11/Nov/2002:13:24:51 +0100] "GET /name2/name1/ HTTP/1.0" 404 496 www.me.net "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" "-"

well....of course she gets 404. but a week ago she did it the correct way. this is my odp-listed directory, so no real reason.

crawl3.googlebot.com - - [04/Nov/2002:06:49:55 +0100] "GET /name1/name2/ HTTP/1.0" 200 2847 www.me.net "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" "-"

Or does she wanna test my custom 404 page?

Suggestion, take a look at your links on the /name1/name2/ pages. I found her trying to look up some strange pages where I had not set my relative links the right way.

bull, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a link to /name2/name1/. As Slade suggests it's probably a mistake in the site, but it could be an incorrect link from another site.

I don't think that this will hurt the listing for /name1/name2/, except that the page(s) linking to the wrong URL won't give PageRank to the right URL.

at least not on my site...thanks anyway.
