Dealing with errors 403, 404 in Google Webmaster Tools I know it may not be strictly drupal releated question, but I'm curious what would be the best approach to solve it with Drupal.


403 errors to: taxonomy/term/%/feed


I have around 900 errors with 403 most of them look like this taxonomy/term/26/all/feed so they seem to be caused by taxonomy/term/%/feed and my question is how could I best fix this issue ? 

So that Google would not penalize me with 404's after ? should I somehow change the view.. or ? not sure how to approach this maybe you have experienced similiar issue also when I try to accesss "name_of_term/feed" it doesnt seem to work


404 errors exposed fields with ?field_name=value


I have have around 200 errors of 404 type most of them look like this: NAME_OF_TERM?field_brand_tid=All&amp;field_color_tid=192&amp;field_size_tid=253

From what I understand it is showing options in exposed filters for items that doesn't have any nodes assigned to them.
For Taxonomy terms you can use Disable Term Node Listings module (https://www.drupal.org/project/disable_term_node_listings)

There is also a great write up on drupal.org about similar issues: https://www.drupal.org/node/345620

In short use robots.txt to disallow paths like ones you specified above. This will prevent google from indexing those pages in first place.
