Sup guys,

i need some help regarding G search console.

It's showing me 404s, that aren't even on the site. And even weird tags that have nothing to do with my site. Then also some silos ending in /page 2 ...

What's happening and how can i resolve this?
 
Hi!
I had the same problem!
As I read G says that sometimes they get crawling errors. So yeah, basically it's G screwing you up by its own mistakes. If you read about removing urls they say something like: "... please don't use this tool to erase crawling errors, they will be removed in time"
The way I proceeded was to put those links on robots.txt and erased them. So G removes it from its cache and stop crawling it after 3 months.
I can't give you more info 'cause I'm still waiting for those 3 months. Meanwhile they're being stoped by the robots.txt and shown as 404s. I'll keep you updated!

ps: hope I made myself understood! english is not my mother language
 
maybe other domains redirects to your site without your intent.
or other sites link to wrong pages of your site.
 
Make any queries to your site that do not open an existing page to return 404 response code. After few months google bot will stop searching them. You can see requests to your site in nginx error file or in error file of server you use. Good Luck :)
 
Happen to me when i installed the SSL and got mixed with an other website SSL (The same shared hosting)
